Plz help fast..................cutting / eating disorder?

I am 12
I cut
I tried telling my dad by just kinds bringing UP
the subject of cutting and he told me that people
who cut have bad parents (and since I know that
one of my dads biggest prides is his kids I didnt want to tell him I cut)
so I told some of my friends and they have helped a lot
but I really want totell my patents so I can get some help
also around a month ago
I started starving/eatting very little and I lost 20lbss in 1 month and I was wondering if that is way to much for 1 month
also if anyone has tips to help me stop cutting of to tell my parents please let me know

You are going to have to just tell them. You NEED help. It's great that you want it. And they will want you to have it. They are your parents and they love you. They will want you to get better.
And yes, that is WAY too much. You need help for that also. You should not starve yourself. Especially for a twelve year old.
A psychiatrist could help with both of these. Tell your parents.

Hey hun,

You really need to tell your parents. Your dad would rather have you healthy and know whats wrong with you so you can get better. Your dad would have even more pride in his kids if you tell him how your feeling and what your going through. Your parents are there to help and they really care about you. No kid is perfect, so don't be afraid of asking for help.

Get help fast, and please, eat!

Talk to a friend you trust, or a school person

tell your parents, they wont be mad at all and they will be able to get u the help you need

goodluck~

People sometimes say stupid things when they think it's about something that's never going to happen. They don't really mean those things, and when they're faced with that situation, they usually handle it just fine.

A lot of parents think they'll never have a child who cuts, has a mental disorder, starves themself, is gay, gets arrested for possession of drugs, or whatever. They tend to think their kids are perfect and "my kid would never do that" comes out of their mouths easily. They brag about their kids and imagine they are perfect. When they find out they're not, though, they handle it just fine.

Talk to your dad. Make sure he knows that your fear of disappointing him is there. I bet he'll handle it just fine.

Good luck.

And about the starving -- 20 pounds in one month is way too much unless you are several hundred pounds overweight.

PS: I'm the father of a daughter who used to cut.
