If you are under 18, chances are that your belongings will be handled according to your parents' wishes if you die, because your parents are legally responsible for you while you are still a minor. Even if the law in your local jurisdiction allow for a minor to make a will, chances are that you will need your parents to sign it, so if you're trying to make sure your parents don't get your possessions, it probably won't work.
The exact laws vary between different jurisdictions, but even as an adult, for a will to be recognised by the law, it has to be signed in the presence of at least two witnesses who are not listed as beneficiaries on the will.
Sorry to tell you bad news. Please don't worry too much. You're still young. You'll recover.

A will is not officially binding unless you are over 18 and the will has been witnessed by two disinterested parties.
If you die in surgery, your possessions will go to your parents. There is nothing you can do about it until you are 18. I suggest you leave them a note, and hope that they follow your wishes.
