I think that I am dying should I inform my parents of my condition?

Answer by  Anonymous

Have YOU decided you're dying, or has a doctor told you (or hopefully, several - because if someone told me I was dying, I'd get at LEAST a second opinion)? You should probably have your family and the doctor meet, so they know what to expect/how to provide care.

I would tell the parents that you are seriously ill. Unless your condition is definitely terminal, I would not mention that unless or until it is necessary.

In this situation you should further investigate whatever is ailing you to the extent that you easily can. If it's something that you needn't worry about, then I wouldn't worry them with it. If something is bothering you though, you should feel comfortable telling your parents about it regardless.
