As a parent I cannot answer your question, but your message has made me sad, because I can see my daughter feeling this way in years to come...but I hope she doesn't.
I'm sure your parents do not want you to hide anything from them. Yes it is hard for us to see our children when they are not feeling well but it is part of the illness. Just as you want your parents to be upfront with you I am sure they want the same in return.
Instead of trying to hide it from them maybe you can talk to them about it together. I don't know what kind of relationship you have but I would hope that this might make everyone feel better. You cannot walk in each others shoes but you can help each other down an uncertain road.

Best of luck to you.

hi, my names heather. i have cf and so does my son steven, who is now 3 years old. i understand EXACTLY where u r coming from. i HATE getting sick cause i know it hurts my mom and dad ALOT!! especially my dad, hes not really an emotional person, but i have seen him alomst cry when i get sick. it's hard but now that im a mother, i see things a little different. it may upset your parents that your sick but they love you VERY much and only want the best for you. well take care and if you would like to talk e-mail me at stevesxbabyxgurl@yahoo.com
