How do I know for sure if I have an eating disorder?

I think I might, but I'm not sure and I don't want either of my parents to know.

My friend, your best bet to effective and quick relief from your struggles is professional help. In reading your posts I understand your parents have a low grasp on mental issues.

There should be a professional nurse or counselor on school premises who can direct you. There are reasons you're doing the things you are and they're rooted in fear and pain. If you can work through that, you stand an excellent chance at a normal, happy life.

It's unfortunate your parents aren't helpful here, but give them a chance. If you can talk to someone first, that person may be able to explain to your folks in a way they can understand. Changing your life is not easy, but it is possible and it's always worth it. Part of becoming mature means standing up for one's convictions and needs. You deserve happiness as much as anyone; don't let fear stand in the way of it and you. Good luck.

@Rene1027: stay strong! You're in a difficult position in your life at such a young age and without supportive parents says something about your character. You're strong enough to make it this far and life is only going to keep wanting to kick your ass. That's the ugly truth but there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. Sometimes you just need to be in the right mood to find it
Do you binge eat? Eat too little and make yourself puke?

I don't eat anywhere from 1-3 days then I binge eat.
@Rene1027: and do you force yourself puke?
