I am a year old female that is about to be 15 in about two months or less. And well me and my friend are anorexic and we are so sick of starving so we decided to start eating what ever the hell we wanted but then throw it up after. But then we relized that it would rot out teeth and stuff like that. But isnt that when u throw up constantly. I mean we are still going to starve our selves but only once in a while we will make ourselves throw up. Will this still rot our teeth or do other damage?

First of all yes it will still rot your teeth but that's not your biggest problem here. I know what it's like to be anorexic and bulimic. It is a disease and it can kill you. I know that you have probably heard this a million times and you don't want to hear it anymore but maybe if I tell you what happened to me it will help you.
When I was 13 I weighed 140lbs. I was fat. I tried all the diets and nothing worked. So I started to starve myself. I did that for a couple months every once in a while I would cheat but I would make sure that I excercised for hours to burn off what I had eaten. I got really sick and extremely weak. I didn't stop though. My friends started to catch on to what I was doing and they made me start to eat. That's when I started to make myself throw up. I loved that it made me feel so good. I had a whole system down. I knew exactly how to do it so that people wouldn't find out. I lost a lot of weight. By my 14 birthday I weighed 100 pounds. That was my goal weight but I couldn't stop. I became an addiction. Soon I would start binging and purging. I would go out and buy tons of food then eat all of it and then make myself sick. I thought everything was going great. Then I started to lose more and more weight. 4 months after my 14 birthday I weighed 80 pounds. It got to point where I only weighed 75 pounds. I was in really bad shape by this point. I had developed anemia and I had burned my asophagus, throat, and mouth with all the vommiting I had done. I even lost a friend to the disease. She only weighed 60 pounds when she died. My friends and the school found out again and they told someone. I was put in a place where they treat eating disorders for a year. I'm still not completely cured every once in a while I get the urge to throw up or I have to convince myself that I'm not fat and that I can eat. Please listen to me. Get some help. It will be hard but you need to stop before it's too late. I know that this will probably not convince to get the help that you need so look at it this way. You're doing this because you think that you are fat you're not. I don't care how much you weigh or what you look like you're not fat and you don't need to starve yourself or make yourself throw up. Go to a school counselor tell them what you've been doing. PLEASE don't go down the road I went don't let this disease consume you. Get help before it's too late please. Look at each other. Do you really want to see your friend die from starvation? Think about this and please consider getting help.
