Well if you are unable to talk to your parents(I know you have your teacher) what about a school counslor? Some places depending on where you live have sliding scales for fees based on what you can afford. Trust me my ribs, hips and everything stck out and I am not happy. Think I would learn after just about dying a coup;e times from this disease, but truely it is not worth it. I have been this way 25 years and you really dont want to be like this. Get help while you are young and before it gets to bad. And if you are concerned about being overweight..instead of going weeks where you only eat very little.n Are you really overweight is my next question? I think I am over weight..so are you really or is it just something you believe. I hope you are able to find some help. If you saw my pics you would be grossed out..most people are. I am but I see the opposite of them. There is more to you than your weight and your looks..rememeber that..and see if your friend will get some help. I cant even begin to tell you how much damamge I have done to my body..permanent! Plaese be good to yourself and get some more help.
