This is a complex question that only you can know the answer to. It depends on such a lot. It depends on how old you are, your level of emotional maturity. And your parents's emotional maturity. And your relationship with your parents. Are your parents still together.
No matter the nature of the problem, I can offer some wisdom. You need to analyse your parents. Their level of education for a start. But much else besides.
Let me try and make this simple.
The human personality is complex and made up of hundreds of peronality characterisitics, These characteristis need to be taken into account before you tell your parents. I want you to ask yourself, do my parents possess the qualities necessary for hearing my problem?
So ask yourself. Are they patient? Are they attentive listeners? Are they empathetic? Are they judgemental? Can they listen without judging and interrupting? Are you likely to feel good or bad about yourself afterwards?
If you have parents with the qualities mentioned about, you may want to consider sharing your problem with them. If not, seek professional help.
I will say this, though. "You can always tell us anything" possibly only applies to the teenage years when your parents are feeling insecure or fearful of losing a connection. Make a mistake in adulthood and you are on your own, unless your parents are exceptiomal.
