What am I supposed to do?
I'm STARVING.
There is no food in the house at all.
I didn't eat dinner last night.
I couldn't have breakfast and I don't have money to buy lunch at school.
Now it's after school.. and my mom won't go to the store to buy food.
I feel like puking. My stomach really hurts.
She won't go because she's "sick" I already asked her and she said I was bitching at her.

I know my mom doesn't like it when i don't eat something she made... then later on she doesn't make anything cuz she didn't feel appreciated. if your mom just didn't feed you then you really do have a problem. are you sure there's nothing in you house? just eat anything thats left around... bread? do you have any neighbors that can help you? have you tried borrowing money from friends or relatives? you could ask for $20 and maybe buy some things at the store... you really have to budget it tho, don't just splurge and don't get all junk or you will get sick. if you can't afford food, go to your counselor and make arrangements. i really suggest talking to a family member about this tho. just get some food in your system... don't be picky. drink some water or chew gum, whatever gets you through the night. well i hope this gives you some options, if you need anything else, let me know and i will try my best to help you out. <3 [ LoveNJstyle's advice column | Ask LoveNJstyle A Question ]

Also, just try digging through anything. Even though it might not seem like alot, just eat whatever you can find to just get SOME food in your stomach because some in better than nothing.
Also for school, have you tried using food stamps? I know some people who instead of bringing money and stuff to school, they use food stamps and get lunch tickets instead and they still get a really good lunch and everything which alot of food.
Maybe even to rake in some more money for if this ever happens again. Try doing some neighborhood chores like walking the dog and raking the leaves and whatnot to earn some cash on the side so if it does happen again, you can always order yourself a pizza or something.
Your mother really shouldn't sit there and just let her kids starve. I mean I know she's sick, but whenever this happens with me and my mom, she'll just call a pizza place or something and have them bring us food and gives me cash to pay for it.

If this problem doesn't get better you need to call Childrens aid and get help no child should have no food. Another thing you can do is talk to your school counselor usually they have vouchers for the cafeteria or extra bagged lunches.
