TEEN LINE WROTE:
Hey,

Thanks for emailing us at TE EN LINE. I'm doing alright; thanks for asking. But I'm really concerned about something you said in your e-mail.

You didn't give much detail, but you mentioned your dad abusing you and your mom. Does this abuse leave a mark? If so, you should really report it, because it's not okay. Even if it doesn't leave a mark, it's still really serious and you should talk to someone about it..

You also said you have a counselor to talk to; have you talked about this at all with your counselor? Do you think you could try talking to your counselor about this? Or your mom?

You also mentioned purging after eating, and not eating much. How long has this been going on? What have you been eating? Do you eat healthy foods? Also, you mentioned dropping from a size 16 to a size 12...correc't me if I'm wrong; is that 2 sizes down? How tall are you? What are your motives for purging and not eating much?

It's really good that you're reaching out for help. I strongly encourage you to call us collect at 310-855-4673 anytime from 6-10 PM (PacificTime) or you can also try our Live Chat!
