    OK, you SO need to sort this out. If you don't feel you can talk to your mum you should go and talk to an adult you feel you can trust - maybe an aunt or a teacher. Most adults will respect you if you ask them in a mature way to keep something in confidence. This is something you really need to address now, as you are setting yourself up for a serious lifetime of misery if you don't.

    hi hunny, im in the middle of my gcses but i remember what its like bein KS3. And looking back now, i realise how bitchy and horrible girls can be! if thers 1 thing i regret as i leave school, its lettin other people influence what i acted like the way i dressed ect. Because at the end of the day if i was who i really am i probly would have made better freinds and maby even freinds for life. Schools all about finding yourself and realising who you are. So be who you are and not who these other people want you to be.Id tell your mum how you feel. Mums are the best they can be your best freind if u let them be x x x x x x x x x x x x x

    I know how you feel. I was anorexic for six years, and you can talk to all the people in the world, and get all the counselling you can afford, but you're never going to get over this until you really accept yourself. Once, a doctor said to me, "I want you to wake up every morning, look in the mirror, and say to yourself 'I love you' " That doctor was talking bollocks. You do need to talk to someone. Because the first step in recovery is admitting to yourself that you've got a problem, which you have done. So you're already on your way. But you need to talk to someone about this. Good luck xx

    Think about why you are really doing this. Is there something else that you want to get off your chest? Look after yourself, eating disorders kill. fact. it's as bad as dabbaling in drugs, and i do mean to scare you. there is nothing 'sexy' about emaciated. If you feel you need help, try contacting BEAT or the samaritans, they will listen, they are great! And take care!

    Don't be like everybody else, be different. if other people are stick thin and don't really eat let them be like that. your to young to be worrying about your weight etc just have fun while you can because you only live once! I'm sure you're beautiful as you are so don't change.

    you obviously want help otherwise you wouldnt have written your problem. You should brave it and talk to your mum! If you feel you cant just ask any adult you can - even if shes/hes from school - a teacher etc. If you want help and to change then you will do it!! If you dont then you wont. Same with everything. Something i learned was that you need to channel whatever upsets you in any way (im guessing its the fact that you dont think your like other girls in your classes etc) you should channel it through a healthy means - i play sport or go tp the gym. or maybe you just need to cry every now and again nothing wrong with that! But whatever you do EAT! Good luck with everything!!

    please talk to somebody. if you get into this cycle of not eating now it will be very difficult to get out of. it will also cause serious health problems along the way. i'm not tring to scare you but not everybody realises. also at your age, your body is still changing both inside and out. in order to help these changes, the body needs fuel and food is our fuel. eat a good, healthy diet and exercise 3-4 times a week and you will feel better in yourself.

    ok well don't worry just because you barely eat doesn't mean you have an eating disorder...but what you should look out for is making sure you DON'T develop one. What you should do is have 3 good meals a day, they can be healthy and you still wont put on weight, this can often be healthier than not eating because when you don't eat your body is probably trying to retain all the fat in the food whereas the healthier option your body will eliminate them naturally :] dont worry this is probably just one of lifes growing pains that your going through and we've all felt it x (hope i could help)

    Believe it or not your doing a lot more harm to your body and skin by not eating properly. If a size 9-10 fits you well you definately have nothing to worry about. All boys will tell you that they hate boney girls and prefer curvier ones. Don't let other girls influence you because they are thin. It's your body so look after it.

    I was the same as you! Exactly! I used to throw my lunch away or hide it, not because I wanted to lose weight, I just didn't feel hungry. I've always been skinny, and was a size 6 a few years ago. I looked bad though! Don't worry about your size, you're fine the way you are, not overweight or (hopefully) not underwieght. Remember, your body is going through changes at the moment. You're developing too, so if you don't eat healthily it will affect your future. Maybe your hormones are making you not feel hungry. Just try and eat healthily, including fibre, sugars and fats too. If you feel like you're beginning to hate food or the thought of gaining weight you need to chat to your mum, she should know what to do, even if it means a trip to the docs. xx

    There is no point beating yourself up about how many curves you have or if your one line over the 7stone mark or something silly! I always moan to my boyfriend saying oh my god im fat, but it is actualy nonsense! he always replies to me saying "babe, your not i love your curves i would hate it if your were really skinny!" im a size 8/10 so being any smaller would be horrible! sometimes i wish i had slightly skinnier legs to fit better in skinny jeans, but thats not what god gave me! so be happy in your own skin, if your happy people will be even more jelouse of you because you will have way more confidence, girls who count every calorie arent confident, they are paranoid and deluded... FACT!

    i bet you anything that most of the other girls at your school feel the same. Its something we all go through. i know i did. if you don't feel comfortable wit your food because you personally feel that your not the size or shape you would like to be then just change the foods that you are eating. i know school dinners aren't the best ever but they usually have salad bars & that now, so try eating things like pasta and fresh fruit, because 1. it will keep you healthy & in shape with some excerise thrown i & 2. you'll feel more comfortable about yourself, not just how you look hope that's helped .x.
