Answer 1

If you are still driving, stop. You could kill yourself or someone else.

Answer 2

We all have to provide a contact number for  emergencies, and in the case of a medical problem, hopefully that contact is someone familiar enough with your situation to know what to do.

Look at the problem from the school's point of view.  They are not being unreasonable asking for an emergency contact - they do not know for absolute certain that you will be okay after a seizure.  They have to protect both of you - the school from being sued for not providing necessary care, and you in case you are not okay after a seizure.  

If you're uncomfortable having your parents as a contact, discuss this with the school.  Maybe you can list your doctor or just agree to be hospitalized every time.  Chances are, the school may be legally bound to notify your parents anyway, and it'd be easier to have that number on the emergency form than burried somewhere in your records.

Answer 3

if you don't want your parents involved put down a friends number or something. Have you been diagnosed with epilepsy? I Have seizures as well so I know what you are going through with all that. If you need to talk bout it just let me know.
