The easiest way might be to talk with which ever parent you feel most comfortable with. However, you might want to think about this decision for a few years before you decide to ask for a circumcision, as it can not ever be reversed. Once you are of 18 years of age, you can consent to the procedure yourself, and you will not need to tell your parents.

Circumcision is not a minor surgery, but as with any surgery, it still presents some major risks. The most common problems are infection and pain after the surgery. Other common complications after circumcision include decreased penile sensitivity and decreased pleasure during sex. Some men are dissatisfied with the appearance of their penises after circumcisions, and others complain that too much skin was removed, making masturbation difficult. Most of these complications are minor, but every year there are reports of major complications following circumcision. These rare complications include accidential damage and disfiguration to the penis. In the worst cases, multiple deaths occur every year following circumcision due to complications from anesthesia and bleeding.

The best way to procede with weighing the benefits and risks of circumcision is to do some research on your own first, then make an appointment to discuss the procedure at length with your doctor.
