in my other question i asked wut i should do about my sister not eating very much...well now i think think sh is bulimeic. i told my dad about her not eating breakfast or lunch and she denied it but shes lieing. so then i find out that she was eating a piece of pizza and was like i need to go on a diet. then she went to the bathroom and was in there for 10min and i think she might have been throwing up. i told my dad about this and he said he will talk to her, but i think she is going to lie again. i am also going to tell my mom but wut ese can i do?
Answer:
You can just try to help her.
Your parents are the ones that have to make the decision to have her commited and whatnot.
Sorry, good luck.
Good for you for being a good sister and telling your dad. You should defiantly tell your mom, and try to convince your parents that she needs to see a doctor.
tell your sister she better quit unless she wants to end up like terry chaivo. *-*
Have you actually told her that you are worried? have a sisterly heart to heart with her. I don't know how old she is but has she started another school/college? trying to keep in with the others? has she got a boyfriend , feeling insecure? who does she hang out with ? there could be peer pressure. I think you should confront her with your concerns for her. She's your Sister, you love her , tell her.
Hey, you're a great sister to have!
The next step after telling both your folks, is the school counselor or school nurse; maybe a trusted teacher.
Have you actually tried sitting down with her and talk to her about it? Many girls feel as if they're fat or ugly and try to change that by taking drastic measures. You did the right thing telling your parents. Ask her if she's upset about something and always tell her how beautiful she is. There's nothing like a comforting sibling.
Man ur such a caring sister i thought my sister was a bulimic too so i know how you feel and fortunately she just had the stomach flu. well i don't know what you can do but if i were you i would have a sister to sister talk you know and i would tell her how i feel how i don't want to lose her...well she would probably lie to your parents because she knows they won't understand but if u try hard enough you might be able to break through her hard shell. maybe ur mom can get her to talk i hope everything is going to be all right good luck you should read more about the symptons so visit some websites and read a few book it might be something else.
i wish i'd had a sister like you when i was doing the same thing,you told your parents which is great but beware she might fall out with you for trying to help,so get in there first and talk to her and tell her how worried you are about her,the main thing you can do is stand by her and talk to her as much as you can.
Try to spend quality time with her doing things that she may enjoy and try to get to know her, find out her fears and joys maybe then she may open up to you, try not to pressure her, she needs to feel secure. ask her if there is anything she ever wants to talk about, you will be there to listen, and think about how you are going to manage the information, she needs to trust you.
you sound very sensible and caring, keep a close eye on your sister, maybe keep a diary if no one believes you,talk again to your mum and dad, if they do nothing could you tell your teacher? or someone else who can help, but make sure of your facts first
i think you did the right thing telling your dad, and yes, you should tell your mum as well. It's probably best she sees a dietican or something, so try to persuade them to take her to see one. You could also try talking to her yourself, you know, reassuring her she isn't fat and that being bulimic is not the answer. Try and support her every way you can, suggest going on a basic diet together or something; a good way to boost her confidence and give her moral support.
Talk with your family about it, along with your sister, and try to reach an agreement about the soloution. I am sure that if you explain to her the consequences and dangers of what she is doing that she will soon come round. Give her leaflets about these sort of problems containing real-life situations so she can relate to them and perhaps apply them to her own life in some way.
Make sure she gets all her vitamans and minerals-with tablets etc- during this period of time for her. Im sure she won't object to swallowing a few pills a day!
My elder sister suffered from bulima for a few months and i did all this stuff and she overcame it. she is now a healthy weight and happy with a boyfriend. Seriously, all you can do is support her in any way you can and persuade others to do the same
wishing you all the best :)
