This depends on what country you live in. If you live in the UK, you have the right to confidential sexual health advice, information, and treatment - provided the professional working with you feels you are able to understand your situation, make an informed choice, and to deal with this without parental help. You may be made to go to a counselling session before or after the abortion.
I'm not as well informed about US laws, but you can phone an organisation such as Planned Parenthood and speak to a professional on the phone - ask about your rights, cost of treatment, and their policy on confidentiality.
The sooner you take action the better, as the earlier in the pregnancy you terminate it, the more options of treatment you've got.
I don't have knowledge about other countries, but would suggest you get in touch with a helpline, local health organisation, or something similar.
You'll also want to consider the sort of support you may need, and if not telling your parents is really the right choice for you.
I wish you the best. ]
