You don't have to take advice (if any is asked for or given). But using an adult as a sounding board can be a very good and mature thing to do.

I think the point here is to talk to an adult you can trust, whether that's your parents, a teacher or professor, or the counseling center at your school. If someone has good reason not to seek out their parents, so be it. But the advice you're going to get from a message board is not going to be nearly so helpful.
