I ACTUALLY USE TO DO THIS WITH MY FRIENDS AT SCHOOL ALL THE TIME. WE NEVER DID IT AT HOME ONLY SCHOOL. NOW, BEING OLDER AND LOOKING BACK I THINK WE WERE JUST DOING IT FOR ATTENTION OR MAYBE TO FILL A VOID OR BECAUSE WE WERE DOING IT TOGHETHER SO MAYBE FOR THE "BONDING EXPERIENCE". WHATEVER THE REASON I KNOW IT'S STUPID AND DANGEROUS AND IF YOU GUYS WERE REALLY BILIMUC THEN YOU WOULD BE DOING IT AT HOME ALSO RIGHT? SORRY IF MY REPLY DOESNT HELP MUCH BUT I DO WISH YOU THE BEST AND YOU ARE NOT ALONE. JUST TRY TO THINK LOGICALLY AND BE MATURE.

First of all, bulima is extreamly serious. there are way too many health problems associated with it such as ruining your teeth, I remember a girl who was bulimic and she rotted all of her teeth because every time she threw up the acids from her stomach came up and began to slowly rott her teeth out then there are issues with having heart problems. If you girls really want to loose weight don't eat the sweets and try pilaties it is absolutly fabulous exercise. Remeber as you get older all this stuff as teenagers are not going to matter much anymore! Being healthy and happy should be your ultimate goal and as for your friend talk to her and a school counselor and get her some help asap!!!!!


sophalas
Oh dear, you shouldn't be trying this, it can cause serious problems and can ultimatly result in death! But I feel that you certainly are not bulemic as it is a phycological problem and not one you can just decide to do, your friend needs help.... good luck

Please consult your guidance councilor about this issue. This is very serious and not to be messed with. Your friend is not a friend if she asks you to do such things. I hope you will take my advise.


KaiilaSoap--♥
What's wrong with you? Your head! Don't do something idiotically stupid just because your friend is doing it. You could hurt yourself & eventually KILL YOURSELF!!! So why even try? It's not cool or anything. Does your mother know about this? Don't even do it at school! DON'T be bulimic just cuz your friend is, it's just WRONG, 'kay???!!!??? :(

Just tell her that you just found out that vomiting causes the enamal to wear off your teeth and you end up with yellow rotten teeth. No matter how skinny you are, no one is going to want to kiss a bulemics mouth.


hoochiemama2000_uk
Just don't even go there, I'm sure you are only doing it to support your friend andiff you do, it's the start of a major vicious circle.

You seem like the strong one that doens't really want to do it, you need to find out what's going on with your friend, why does she want to do it? and try and help her that way.

But I really recommend going seeing a counsellor, you could even go together if you like and they wont judge you, they'll just try figure out why and try to stop you from takign to any further and seriously damaging your health and risking your life.

Good luck and seriously go see someone, you were brave enough to admit you have a problem, be brave and go and face it.


caroline <3
first of all you shouldnt even be trying to 'throw up' after you eat especially if you're doing it on purpose...like if you want to lose weigh, eat healthy and exercise
by being bulimic you're ruining your insides (since every time you puke all the stomach acid is coming back up...which burns your insides) and also you're going to ruin your teeth

ask yourself do you want to be bulimic or are you just doing this because of peer pressure. i suggest you do some research on how the girls look and what are the consequences. don't do anything you don't want to do. follow your heart don't give in to peer pressure. take a look at this website and ask yourself is this how i want to look like.

First, don't cave in.

Bulimia is not something to mess with.

You can do SERIOUS damage to your esophagus, teeth, etc. UN-REPAIRABLE damage.

If you have tried, and failed, DO NOT TRY AGAIN.

If you are only doing it at school, DON'T.

It is NOT a fashion statement.

YOU are your own person. Don't risk your health for peer pressure.

I have listed below what Bulimia is. I have also posted a site. PLEASE visit it.

Understand, that when you FORCE yourself to vomit up the food you just forced down, you bring up, not only the food, but stomach acid. Stomach acid can destroy your esophagus, teeth.

INFO:

Bulimia, also called bulimia nervosa, is a disorder in the eating disorder spectrum. Bulimia is characterized by episodes of secretive excessive eating (bingeing) followed by inappropriate methods of weight control, such as self-induced vomiting (purging), abuse of laxatives and diuretics, or excessive exercise. Like anorexia, bulimia is a psychological disorder. It is another condition that goes beyond out-of-control dieting. The cycle of overeating and purging can quickly become an obsession similar to an addiction to drugs or other substances. The disorder generally occurs after a variety of unsuccessful attempts at dieting.

Laugh at her.

In her face.

Loudly.

No way you have to be stupid just because she is.

Do not be bulimic. Bulimia is not healthy. I know, because I know someone who is one. Also, please convince your friend not to do this as well. Just look at some of the possible consequences:

Teeth erosion and cavities, gum disease
Esophageal reflux
Vitamin and mineral deficiencies
Irritation, inflammation, and possible rupture of the esophagus
Peptic ulcers and pancreatitis
Dry or brittle skin, hair, and nails, or hair loss

Please lose weight the healthy way. Which is a balanced diet and exercise. Eating healthy and working out.

Please talk to someone - your parents, a teacher, an older relative. You need to get help for both you and your friend before this gets serious.

have a little more respect for yourself and stop it!

"what's wrong with you?" i think trying to make yourself puke should explain it.

why don't you catch on to a "fad" that doesn't involve landing yourself and your friend in the hospital?

Pleassssse stop this!!! And, encourage her to discontinue. You two seem to have an issue with your weight but this is not the solution.

Bulimia is a serious disease. You too should realize what you are actually doing. Stop NOW!

it's a bad idea.

tell her mum, or a teacher... im serious.... throwing up rots your teeth, damges the lining of your stomach, causes heart weakness, you may loose a little bit of weight, but is it worth dying for... ? my best friend died aged 19 as a direct result of an eating disorder, IT IS NOT A JOKE.
