could i be bipolar?how can i tell me parents?

If you do not feel comfortable talking to you parents or going through your pediatrician, maybe try your school counselor or psychologist.

Bipolar is a mix of depression and mania. There are two types, BP I and BP II. Bipolar I is when a person will go through a depression period and then to a highly manic period. In mania, a person might experience delusions of gradious ("I can do ANYTHING"), have a large amount of energy and not even have to sleep during the night and feel fine the next day. During these manic phases, they may get irritable, and lash our, due to having more energy to do so. They may feel as though they are on top of the world, although some of their most concerning symptoms are during this time (higher risk for suicide, over-sexual behavior, shopping sprees, living without limits). When the depressed state hits, its complete opposite of mania. This is a major depression. For BPII, the mania is not as bad, but the person suffers from depression still. They still have minor mania, but the mood swings are not as big. I forgot to mention that anger problems are often a sign of mania as well. If you have bipolar, my suggestion is that you talk to your parents and make an appointment to a pediatrician. More than likely your parents will not tell you that you are being a drama queen, but if you are still reluctant, you can try to speak to the school counselor about it, and then your pediatrician. Living with bipolar is not fun, especially when you dont have a support system. That is why I suggest you talk to your paretns about it. I think counseling would help.
