How to tell someone you have an eating disorder?
I have an eating disorder. I really really really want to tell someone but i don’t know who to tell. Im not telling my parents. I am 13 and in 8th grade. Who should i tell? Should i tell a teacher of the schools guidance consular? How should i tell them?

I had an eating disorder when i was in school, and like you i did not want to tell my parents so i told a teacher who i got on well with. Well done for wanting to get help, this is the first step so well done, good luck x
you definitely need to tell someone. tell the guidance counselor, if you want, but they’re not specialized to help in that. eating disorders are very different from other mental health issues, mostly because you really can and will kill yourself in a short time. tell your parents now. tell them that you need to see your doctor and then have him/her set you up with a therapist/psychologist/psychiatrist. you tell them just by saying it. they may have noticed that you’re looking really thin and they will want to help. don’t worry about the future too much right now. just tell them and deal with any repercussions later, not that i think there will be many. i had a friend in exactly the same condition and she was hospitalized for three or four months in her freshman year of high school. good luck!!
