As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well spent brings happy death.

~Leonardo da Vinci
O.O o no... no no no! what is happening!
My little sister, Brenna (she is my second little sister. She is the youngest of the two) has been eating less and less lately. She claims worry to "getting fat" though she is skinnier than anyone i know!

We (my mother and I) think that this behavior has been brought on to by the situation with my step-b***h (excuse the language please; and thanks beth for the term) My step mother, since the beginning, has denied many food from us (my sisters and I) claiming it will make us fat or it will be hazardous to us. That may be one reason, another reason is that when ever someone is in a position when they literally have NO control over anything (which is true at my dad's house) people will obtain eating disorders because they feel it is the one thing they DO control. ... We fear my sister may be doing just that. neutral I am scared, i love my little sister very much and I literally would kill my step-mom if she is causing this.

Another (farther) idea of why she might be doing this is friends, my mom disagrees with me on this one, but listen to my logic. Her friends are not really good. In fact half of them are little spoiled brats that everyone loathes (including me)... Even my mother agrees that they are extremely annoying. So, my thoughts on this is that they encourage the behavior of not eating. My mom disagrees that this is the real reason why she refuses to eat. She says it may be a factor of it, but not the root of it.

Do not (PLEASE) do not confront her about this subject, she will end up denying it and someone will more or less get hurt, or at least get in trouble... i am simply terrified that this is happening. My little sister is 9 years old. She cannot leave my step mother's house until she is 18 (unless she goes to court, but she has to be at least like 13 or 12 to do that) If my step-b***h is the reason for this, she will have to suffer another 9 years before she can escape. I was lucky and i only have 4 years to survive (though i may not last that long, as u can see i have been getting more and more depressed and sick every week) ... i do not know what to do... i need help from some one, at the very least, support... though most people dislike me or hate me, i still try. ...


sorry for it being so long, if u read the whole thing u are awesome!

Wraith -Yeah, i noticed, i had to change my entry eedits because of it, but i do not mind... as long as we are not convicted of anything! ^ ^

Charshuim sorry and i dont know what to tell ya.
all of those things could be why she is doing that
also, just being a girl and with her growing up she might develope eating problems.
like... whenever girls see other girls on tv.. or even if their friends are skinner, they always want to be like that. and usually the popular choice is to starve themselves. ... this might not be it.. but since im a girl i can tell u that there are tons of pressures to be thin.

just a thought

Wraith -she just is not that way.... i think thats is why we (my mother and I) are so worried! whatever it is, i want it to stop!


NsearchofReal life sucks. I know with all those influences, many girls (and boys have) started developing eating problems. I donʻt know what to say except that eating healthier foods might convince her and your step b***h (<-- genious word) to have her eat more.

Another thing too (seeing as I am a skinny girl) many times itʻs just a misunderstanding. I mean, I donʻt eat sometimes merely because I forget to. So over analyzing the situation is sometimes cause to fret over the unnecessary but remember, apathy is deadly.

Wraith-she is not one to forget.. we have meal times and we ask her to eat and she refuses with a reply of "I do not want to get fat!" ... maybe this is an excuse she is simply using for a while, but she does seem to be eating less and less each day... she only ate one freaking meat ball out of a spaghetti dinner... and SHE LOVES SPAGHETTI! ... i do not know what to do...
i had the problem of forgetting to eat a lot and i sometimes still do. I get so busy or wrapped into one thing that i forget to eat, and furthermore i have no need to eat! It is odd, but at least i have fat on my body so it does not matter if i eat... Brenna on the other hand is Skinny AS HELL!
