xo_dream answered Tuesday July 20 2004, 7:52 pm: It's NOT your fault, and your parents are probably going to be happy that you told them and you want to get help instead of waiting until something terrible happens and .. yeah. So, it's going to be ackward, but you need to just sit down with them and say it straight out. If you need support, see if your friend'll come over and you can do it then. Good luck with everything! :o)

Otherwise, if you feel uncomfortable telling them, ask your friend to tell them to. Whatever disorder you have, tell them right away so you can be cured. Please tell them soon!

well, you could just lay the question down to them, the cold hard truth. They arn't goin to punish you, they'd get you help, so the sooner you tell them, the faster you can be healthy again. Approach your parents and say somthing like:
i have an eating disorder, it's messing up my life and i need help, can u help me? your parents are there to take care of you, not criticze or blame you for what has happened.

The thing to do is EAT, even if you dont want to. Not eating isnt healthy, and for the depressed thing you need to think happy and good thoughts. Hope i helped.
