I wouldn't butt in like that, no. Assure her that you are always there for her should she ever feel the need to talk, and remind her often that her parents aren't the enemies and that speaking to them might do her a world of good. Unless she starts to physically harm herself, that's really about all I'd do if I were in your shoes.

I think it might be a good idea to tell her parents. You never know what can happen with depression. She could do something very bad. If she gets angry with you for you telling her parents, don't worry. I'm sure she'll let it go and realize you just care about her. Talk to her about it one more time, and if things seem like they are getting worse deffinitly tell them, and maybe ask her if you can do anything? I hope everythings okayy.<3

Encourage her to speak to her parents.
If you suspect she is harming herself in any way at all then definitely go straight to her parents but if she is only talking about sadness and stress going to her parents seems rather extreme and is likely to make her angry with you.
If she really doesn't want to speak to her parents encourage her to speak to somebody, a trusted teacher or older sibling or counselor. It's important you understand that you are her boyfriend and while that is terribly important it doesn't mean you can fix this for her, she needs an adult who can help her.

It would be a good idea to tell your parents. Or, you could let her know, that going through depressions is something that can be helped. My sister has been going through depression for about 6 years now, and she has help for it. Let your girlfriend know, that this is something that she does need to get help for before it really does get worse. Let her know that her parents wont lover her any less for this change, and that they'll help her out in any way. I'm sure that if you do tell her parents and your girlfriend finds out, she'll be mad at you for a bit, but probably realize that what you did was good for her. Good Luck!

i think it might be a good idea to tell her parents because i have a friend who gets depressed quite often and she usually tries to hurt herself and im sure you wouldnt want your girlfriend to hurt herself. she will thank you in the end for telling her parents because they can get help for her.
