Not her too...

Oh crap.
Its happening.
My lil sister is going anorexic.
Shiz.
She didn't eat lunch today & barely touched her dinner.
& I overheard her & my mom having a talk.
She said the other kids were making fun of her cause she was "chubby"
& recently we went to a friends house who has the wii fit thing & it said she was obese :/
That didn't help her self esteem at all.
And neither do I.
when I get extremely mad at her, I call her fat cause she is overweight.
But I wish I could take it all back now.
She is only nine years old, as she weighs as much as me.
Her 14 year old sister.
Who weighs 115.
I'm scared for her
& I feel as if everything is my fault.

Thank you so much for all your help.
She is eating, but in limited amounts.
Not as much as I would like her too,
but I'm satisfied
& yes i feel HORRIBLE for insulting.
But I haven't told her that in over a year so it wasn't recent.
But anways thanks for your concern.

so,
I grew up being the fat kid.
the tooken fat kid.
I was picked on every day, people threw shit at me, adn I was damn near tempted to start doing something desperate by the time i was 14 to lose weight. (of course, a crude alcoholic mother didn't help)
I was tempted but lost my nerve because my brother thought i was doing something.
HJonestly, go talk to her, just say a few things and let her know your there for her,but don't push, and keep a close eye on her. If she does do it, talk to her about telling someone and getting help, and if she won't do it, let her know that you will tell someone and if she wants to be there whenyou tell then do it.

Well, I am one of the counselors at summer camp who is nicer to the "chubby" kids. Being a reformed "chubber" I wish her the very best and please, please stop her from being anorexic.

i used to be that little over weight kid. and i didn't hear it from my parents but i heard it from kids in school and cousins and such. it is horrible to be called fat. i agree tell her you love her and reassure her that you love her just how she is. shes nine . shell probably grow out of it anyway and if not a doctor or someone will interviene if it becomes hazardous to her health. as of now let her live her child hood to the fullest while she can. i remember worrying about my weight and i look back now and regret it so much because worrying about it really really held me back. so yea remind her she is perfect the way she is and that you love her and definatly dont call her fat when you get mad. my brother used to call me fat and that was the worst feeling in the world . ; p

You know... one day... outta the blue... for absolutely no reason other than it's true... tell her you love her. Do it once and do it now because someday you might not be able to and you'll always wonder why you didn't.

Aww your poor sister, kids can be so cruel! Comments really do add up and people do some scary stuff ecspecialy about body image...
My brothers and sisters would joke around and call me fat when I was little. And comments over the years.. I became bulimic around 14. I never have blamed my family for it. I just felt so ugly and sad. Now I'm happy and haven't done it in more than 2 years. But it is kinda a day to day struggle the naggin in the back of my head on bad days but I think of how dissapointed I would be in myself.
Anyways my point is save her as soon as you can. The sooner the better. Tell her how you feel she will feel better. By your secret I can tell you really do care about her and I think that'll make you sister really happy to know big sister cares. You can even offer to help her get a safe diet plan and facts about eating disorders even. I wish you two the best of luck!

dont worry shannon
its not your fault
god made her that way for a reason
you should be the best older sister you can be and teach her to overcome her adversities and just accept that she is different
insult yourself infron of her or something ant tell her that everyone makes fun of you
and dont be scared for her
she is only nine she does not have the will power to not eat
after a few skipped meals she will say screw it and eat
dont worry it will be ok
