i was definately ostrasized for having an eating disorder until I was pulled out of school last year

I hope you're getting some help for that - it's such a dangerous condition..

It's a shame when other people can't (or won't) recognize that people have problems in their lives and being mean to them certainly doesn't make things better..

glindasdaughter, teenagers can be just horrible--I know, I have a 15 yo dd.

But, hon, I'm pretty sure no one "silently hates" someone with anorexia. We may feel pity that a beautiful young person has such an awful condition but not hate. That would be like me hating someone with cancer or schizophrenia just because they have it.

I hope you're getting help, too.

Amen!

If you recognize the problem and get help, you are a giant leap closer to being past it!

I have never known anyone who was 'teased' because of an eating disorder. Most of the time, people are not aware that an eating disorder is happening because the person hides it. I had a classmate who died when we were in 7th grade due to anorexia. She was never teased, people did not understand why she was so thin and sickly. No one ever mentioned it at all because we were afraid that she was sick (ends up she was, but not the kind of sickness we knew about).

Do you mean teased because you look different or teased because people found out you had an eating disorder?

Hope you get the treatment needed to overcome it.

thankyou guys so much! Aww, that really means alot to me! I am well on my way to recovering.

I just don't get anorexia. People can explain it, explain how it feels to have it, give the psychological description of it, and I still don't understand it. It's not a disease, in my mind. Cancer is a disease. Anorexia is more of an addiction, like alcoholism. I pity people who need to be thin so badly that they are compelled to starve themselves, but I feel really sorry for someone with cancer, AIDS, Lou Gehrig's disease, etc. I feel sorry for the parents of anorexic kids. It must be awful to see your child waste away like that.

I hope you can find strength within yourself to see your self worth regardless of what the scale says.

Like NMAmy said, I doubt anyone would really secretly hate someone because they are an anorexic. At least, I know I wouldn't. But I'm so sorry if you're being teased...Teenage girls really can be an awful bunch.

The fact that you're acknowlaging the fact that you have an eating disorder and are on the road to recovery is wonderful! It's so horrible to see such beautiful young people wasting away under this disorder, but glorious when you see someone concurring it. Prayers and Pixie Dust for you, m'girl!

I had an eating disorder in high school and I never told the kids at school or my after school job.

No one ever knew except my family and my closest friend. I wasn't teased about it and no one (except relatives) ever mentioned my weight.

 

[Disneynutbsv]

I feel for you and totally understand. I suffered from an eating disorder. I had many hospital visits and therapy.
I was picked on quite a bit when I was in Junior HS and then HS, but these are the kids that picked on everyone and will find any reason to pick on them. But I had more friends and family that cared for me. It took awhile for me to realize that though...hugs!

Anorexia is not something that someone can just stop by themselves. Their mind is not functioning properly. These people need help, not ridicule. I feel sorry for someone who has it, and hope they're getting the medical treatment they need.

I don't have anorexiaa, but I do get talked about alot about it. I am 25 and only 98lbs and alot of people tell me Im anorexic, which I am not. I just have a problem gaining weight.

I feel so bad for those with eating disorders and I pray for them to get better. I believe I had a slight eating disorder at one time, and my gall bladder had to come out because of it .

I understand how obsessed one can become over how they look, and if each morsal you put in your mouth will cause you to gain weight. I'm glad I was able to overcome this with myself, but many people can not and struggle everyday. Many prayers and PD to all those that suffer from an eating disorder
