So your parents are aware of the problem? Is there any way to discuss your problem locally? Message boards aren’t really helpful for this kind of thing, IME.
For very mild depressions, talking to your school’s guidance counselor may be sufficient. If it isn’t, he may at least be able to help persuade your parents that you need treatment (should that be the case).
My parents are’t aware of the problem. No-one really is. I have a problem opening up to people (faceless people on the internet are a lot easier). My parents are a mess. Even if they ever got off their lazy butts and took me, they certainly don’t have the money.
I’ve also found it easier to open up to even real life friends over the internet, and this might help you somewhat, if you try talking to some of your favorite friends online about how you feel.

School counselor might be a way to get some help; I’d think it’s worth trying.
