hi sara and welcome to pc!!! so very glad you reached out and posted.
 i''m awfully sorry to hear about your father. that must cause you to worry and be concerned about him. as for you, i'm glad you are talking to your teachers about what's going on. have you asked to speak with your guidance counselor too? i believe that would help you. losing weight and feeling so sad is difficult for anyone. and the weight loss is because of your situation probably. please keep us posted on how you are doing, k? and i hope you will go to speak with your guidance counselor. they many times have ways to help or know how to get you the help you need. meanwhile know i care and that you are very important to us.

sarah, welcome to PC
 I'm sorry to hear about your dad being sick. One of my friends' father is in a nursing home also, and it's been really hard on her. I know how stressful and difficult it can be when someone you love gets sick like that. I agree with madisgram, have you spoken to a school counsellor? They're often the best place to go for the information you need to start getting a handle on things. Maybe bring along your test results to show them. If you lose any more weight as quickly as you have been, it might be worth it to consult a doctor as well, just to make sure there isn't a physical cause for the way you've been feeling, but again a guidance counsellor would have loads of information on that sort of thing. You could try your local crisis line too -- some of them even have email addresses if you don't want to talk to anyone directly -- if seeing your guidance counsellor makes you nervous or uncomfortable. It's a really difficult thing to bring up that you think something may be wrong or that you haven't been feeling well, but it's important to talk to someone and start working on fixing it. You don't have to feel the way you're feeling now. Keep us posted on how you're doing. You've come to the right place for support and advice.

Sarah, I was going to suggest that you also try to talk with your mom and let her know how you are feeling until I read this post.
Is your mother not very caring or supportive of you? Why didn't you want to talk with her? You guidance counselor and teachers would have an obligation to inform your parents if they have reason to believe you are in very bad shape. And from what you say, you sound like you are in a very bad state whether you believe that or not. So try not to be angry with your guidance counselor. She could lose her job if she didn't do what she thought was right. Please keep posting and let us know what happens and how you are doing. Take care of yourself, and let adults who care about you and have more life experience help you. Even if it makes you angry at first, if you give it time, and the adults a chance, you may find yourself feeling better.

 I'd rather have a visit, note or pretty picture than an "I'll say a prayer" or a "god bless you." Doesn't make me feel better, no meaning to me for sure. Can't stop you from praying and blessing me, and if that makes you feel better feel free. But keep it to yourself please, don't tell me. And let's all respect each other's feelings. With kindness, support and "sweet dreamings."
