I think that I am bipolar. I'll be happy and obnoxious one moment and then the next I'll feel so depressed that i want to die. How do you know if you're bipolar? What do I do if i am? How do I tell my parents? (link)

The first thing you should do is look up websites on the disorder. Sometimes they have a little quiz to see if you exhibit the symptoms. Just remember that this quiz is NOT diagnostic, that means it can't diagnose you and you can't know for sure unless you see a professional.
Do that to get an idea though.
Next step, definitely tell your parents if you think they'll be supportive. If you think they won't be, talk to your school counselor. Parents and school counselors can both get you to see a professional.
If you do have it, it might be important for you to get medication because it can get worse as years go by. So however you do it, make sure you talk to a trusted adult that can get you to see a professional.
Good luck, and if you're scared, try not to be. There's a lot of people who live normal lives with it and there are plenty of people who would love to help you if you just seek that help.
