I hope you can find the courage to tell your parents soon. I don't know your parents, but I'll bet they might not even be surprised when you tell them, and so may be very supportive. (I'm an adult, and yet my own Mom is helping pay for my counseling!)
At any rate, I have always found writing letters or emails to be my favorite option when I really need to say something important or emotionally charged to someone, but am too nervous to say in person. When I write, I get the chance to say exactly what I intend without my SA invading.
Perhaps you could write a letter or email to your folks, and if you are worried that they won't understand, provide some extra documents or links to websites that explain Social Anxiety, maybe even a link to this forum!
I wish you courage, luck, and strength on your journey to recovery!!
