My parents don't take me back to school shopping?
My mom and dad never take me back to school shopping and i'm going into 7th grade. Last year, none of my clothes fit me (LITERALLY, NONE except this one huge t-shirt from basketball) so my grandma had to take me because my parents wouldn't. All my clothes are hand me downs from my mom and cousins that are from the 90's and i'm the oldest kid out of 4. My parents always yell at me too for wearing ugly t-shirts everyday, well that's all I have because you don't take me shopping for clothes!!! My parents make me so angry because whenever I ask them if they will take me some time because I need new clothes they just yell at me. I can't stand it because I wear the SAME clothes EVERY SINGLE YEAR and my mom CARES, but they just don't care enough to go get me some new clothes!!!! I ask them to take me to Goodwill if they won't take me anywhere and they just say "NO the clothes there are not good!!!" Well atleast they're cheap and I can buy them with my own money!! Ugh, how can I get my parents to take me back to school shopping? I will be gone the WHOLE end of August (because my parents are stupid enough to plan a vacation that we're supposed to get back from the day before school starts) and we haven't even gotten any supplies yet! How am I supposed to get them to take me anywhere??!!?
Need help to stop self harm without parents finding out.?
Just out of curiosity... how do you self harm if you "don't bleed or anything."? Do you starve yourself? Intentionally poison yourself? Burn yourself? Break your bones with a hammer? Do you really have a problem, or are you and your friends just bored? EDIT: As someone who cut from the age of 13 (but has now stopped): HOW THE HELL DO YOU CUT YOURSELF AND NOT BLEED?! Do you know the definition of the word "cut"? Here is what the dictionary says: To make an opening, wound, or incision in something. I mean, I guess you could scratch yourself or something. I'm not really sure how this is a problem. You don't have ugly scars and you don't cause yourself physical damage. Just tell the councillor. It could progress into something worse, and nobody needs that.
How can i stop eating with out my parents noticing?
its pretty hard i can get away with only eating dinner because no one is awake for breakfast, so i can make something and feed it to the dog! and i can just skip lunch at school... but i think it'd be too hard for you to skip dinner, you can skip unhealthy snacks and puddings and stuff, just say you aren't hungry and you're trying to eat healthy. if they notice you are losing weight, you could probably convince them for a while that it's because you've cut junk from your diet and are on a 'health kick'. but this won't last forever if you get really thin, and like i said, it's virtually impossible not to eat anything without your parents noticing, that's assuming you eat dinner as a 'family' anyway, if you all eat different things at different times it would be more possible.

My parents wont let me go vegan!?
Don't you just love the abusive responses you've received? Sister, your parents are worried because some girls use improperly-planned vegan diets (lacking in calories) to hide their eating disorders. However, if you are willing to follow a properly-planned vegan diet, with plenty of calories and nutrients, then it's fine. Vegan diets don't require specialty foods. Vegan meals are based on beans, grains and pasta, fruit, and vegetables. Simple and cheap. Your parents may have concerns about your health as a vegan. However, they can be assured that the American Diabetes Association, the American Heart Association, and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (the world's largest association of Registered Dietitians) have all stated that properly-followed vegan diets are healthy. American Diabetes Association's statement on vegan diets: http://www.diabetes.org/food-and-fitness... American Heart Association's statement on vegan diets: http://www.heart.org/HEARTORG/GettingHea... Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics statement on vegan diets: http://www.eatright.org/About/Content.as... You and your parents might find it useful to make an appointment with a Registered Dietitian. A Registered Dietitian is a professional with a university degree in human nutrition. They can help your parents to understand vegan nutrition, and to reassure them. They can also help you to plan nutritionally-complete vegan meals. You can find a local Registered Dietitian through this website: http://www.eatright.org .

Who is responsible for child obesity: parents or the child?
Good for you for taking responsibility for yourself and trying to get to a healthier weight!!!! Unless you have a health problem that makes you gain weight then your mother is the one responsible for you being obese for your whole life. Last time I checked the average 9 year old wasn't in charge of the grocery shopping. :) So if you have been obese for many years then she should have done something to help you---even if you didn't want the help. SHE is the mother, it is up to her to raise you in a healthy way. That is her JOB. (BTW Have you been checked to make sure you don't have a gland problems or something that could contribute to your weight gain?) You can't change the past, all you can do is move forward. Ask your mom to make an appointment with your doctor so you can discuss healthy eating and goals for weight loss including activity levels. Good luck and best wishes.
How does skinny-shaming affect people? Do they start seeing them being thin as a problem or something they don't like about themselves?
Skinny shaming has never ended for me. I just learnt to deal with it somehow.I have always been underweight. My height is 170 cm and my current weight is 47 kg. I have never weighted more than 50 kg. I am naturally skinny. I am reminded of that regularly. A new acquaintance within a few hours of talking to me: “Oh you are so thin!” EVERY parent of every friend of mine when I come to their house: “Oh you are so thin!” Relatives seeing me after long time: “Oh you are so thin!”Sometimes these comments are said in disgusted voice, sometimes with envy, sometimes with care (“You will look healthier if you put on some weight!”). In the end of the day they all freak me out because they point out my body as if it is thing, something everybody can discuss freely. I am so much more than my body. And I really do not think that my humble figure deserves that much concern. I am healthy, I eat and exercise properly. I am OK!It took me long time to distance myself and my own self awareness from what is being said about my body. As a teenager I felt constant need to apologize as if my thinness was a disease threatening people. It is a hurting discovery that, despite the fact that I feel so good and comfortable in my body, people are willing to point out how wrong my body is. This shame of my own body tortured me for many years and I am still over coming it in some or other way.What helps? Exercise certainly does. When you see how you become stronger, more flexible and active, you care so much less what others say. You see your beauty with your own eyes, anything else hardly matters. I also filter my friend circle. If, for whatever reason, somebody cannot stop talking about my weight, I distance myself from them. Mature and polite people do not behave like those. I want to be with friends who love and appreciate me. Anyone else may leave.As a thin person for long time I thought that other people had some right to discuss my body. I thought if I looked so weird, of course, it was okay for others to mention it. I realized it is wrong. Nobody has a right to judge my face, my weight, my body. I am the one who decides what is good for me, not they. Since I understood this simple truth it’s been much easier to reduce skinny shaming in my life.
