You are not alone and no one will think any less of you.  You will feel much better when you tell your parents so that they can share your problem and guide you

Hi Will,

Could be one of the problems already mentioned, but with the attacks lasting 10 seconds and usually after movement it could be BPPV. If it is, this is usually easily put right by a doctor - don't worry it's completely painless. You should definately get checked out, it is probably nothing serious and can be fixed. Otherwise, you could spend the rest of your life trying to hide it, and suffering, when you could be out enjoying yourself with your mates. When I was thirteen I was worried sick about something medical, until I plucked up the courage to see a GP, unfortunately, he couldn't see what I was talking about. Two years later, I saw someone else who could see what I was worried about, and it was entirely normal. The first doc must have seen it but, as it was normal, thought I was talking about something he couldn't see. I am now nearly fifty and I could still be in a panic about it, thirty-five years later. Go and get checked out - take back some power or it will rule everything you do. Good luck.

Go see your doctor trust me sitting here guessing about what is will only scare you and make it worse. You'll feel better when you know exactly what it is.
