Stock losses

Hello, I am a senior college student who played around in the stock market last year and lost most of my money. I get that I have to report my taxes to the IRS but I am also a dependent, and I did not earn over 8k so I don't have to file separate papers, but then how would I then report my losses? Do I attach it to my family's tax forms and they get the write-off (up to the 3k)? How does this work?
