When I was your age doctors called this a phase that we would grow out of and for the most part they were correct. Today doctors know this for what it truly is and can help you with hormone replacements while your body works to bring balance to itself.
The hormone imbalance causes depression which also can be helped with the hormone replacement therapy and talk therapy with a good therapist to find out what the stressors are that are causing you to want to cut yourself. Talk therapy together with medication to find the cause of your depression can be dealt with and you will see a light at the end of the tunnel. Life will be much better than what you see today.
How do you tell your parents: You could simply say to them what you told us; That you feel bad, that you are hurting yourself and you need to see a doctor.
Never ever be afraid to tell your parents when something is bothering you or you are not feeling well. It does not matter what is wrong, be it of a particular women's nature or something else. As parents our primary responsibility is to your health and safety. There is nothing about you or that you have done or could do that we have not done ourselves or know about.
I know you have heard this before, though it is worth repeating. We were once your age. There is nothing new under the sun. Meaning whatever you do we have most likely done, know someone who did it or know about it and this includes sex as well. So please don't be afraid to go to your parents when you have questions or something is wrong. They are your best source for answers and help.
