Get more active and into sports. You can also join a program that will help you watch your weight. If that isn't enough you could talk to your school nurse about it and see if she has any suggestions about it.
Thats what I did and I felt much better.

Hi. My name is Kaylee and I am 12 years old. A few months ago, my family encountered a big move from California, to Wisconsin. I, being in a family of four, was prehaps the hardest adjuster to the move. I now go to a VERY small catholic school and I don't have any friends outside the school. I am afraid of trying new things like sports and programs because...I am just afraid of trying new things and meeting new people...But the thing is, I want knew friends...and I want a L.I.F.E. See, even sometimes I am so afraid, not shy, just afraid to do things and stuff and I am mad at myself, that I'll cut myself. I really need some help. What Can I do?

Hey-
How are you? My family and i also had a big move over the summer. I moved from Indiana to Colorado. I was very depressed in Indiana and i can tell tht that is what you are going through. If you are vutting yourself, or harming yourself in any way you need to get some help. Tell a parent, teacher, anyone. If you are cutting yourself, and cant stop i think we should talk, here are ways to contact me.

Call the police. If she is abusing u u can get put in a foster home or the home of another relative. It sound like your mother has a drug or drinking problem if shes that bad. Also, don't commit suicide. That is never the answer. Pride yourself in the fact that u may have tried to commit suicide, but u didn't go through with it. Remember that there is always sommething to live for, even if its something small. Also, try getting involved in a youth group at a local church/mosque/synagogue. God/Jesus (or Alla, if you're muslim) can help u get through this part of you're life.

Ht. 152 cm, Today: 75 kg (BMI %tile: 98) - Hi, I'm 12 and come from Northern Ireland.I weigh 75Kg and I'm 152cm in height. It depresses me. I was on the Atkins diet and collapsed (though I did lose quite a bit of weight!) My mum and dad are divorced so I comfort eat. I have to go to the doctors soon to tlk to them and they might keep me in hospital and suck fat out of me! I'm really scared but the more I try to lose weight, the worse I fell and I can never lose it! I get out of breath from climbing the stairs, I know that I am in majour threat, but I can't help it! I had a attack over the summer where I couldn't breath, I had to stay over night. I am soooooo scared! I've thought about killing myself, but I don't want to upset my family, what should I do? (Note: 152 cm, 75 kg is 5'0", 165 lb.)

Dear Matt,
I'm going to give you the same advice I gave to a girl on this board. Talk to someone about your worries and concerns. They will help you to see things in a clearer manner and if not, they'll find someone who can. Even if your parents aren't together, it doesn't mean they don't love you. You parents split for a good reason, they must have been unhappy, and therefore, made themselves happy by being a part. Talk to one of your parents, or even both. When you see the doctor you can talk to him, or try a teacher. I know it's stressful when you want to lose weight and it won't go away. Believe I've been there, done that and got the t-shirt!!!! Your too young to be worrying about such matter, but it doesn't stop you worrying does it? Please seek help and don't stay quiet. For some reason, a shared problem becomes a shared solution!!!
If you need to vent and don't want to talk with your parents, even if I think you should. I'll always be willing to listen. Krystle AKA hodgypie@aol.com
Take care Matt and please seek help!!!!!

Please get some help! You have an addiction to diet pills, and taking ten of anything is incredibly dangerous! Please talk to someone because you are really hurting yourself!

Hi! Ok, this is a long one so bare with me--I weighed myself about 6 days ago, and I was 150lbs, today I weighed myself, and I'm 172lbs. I cannot beleive I gained so much weight in that amount of time! About 2-3 days ago, I kinda realized I was gaining weight, but I never knew it was so much!! I was sitting down to dinner with my family, half way through eatting, 2 of my buttons popped off my shirt!! My whole family was in fits of laughing! My mom said, Oh My God your blowing up like a balloon, then my bro poked me and said, lets pop the balloon. That really hurt me! And then yesterday was one of the most embarrising days of my life! I was in a shop trying these new pants(jeans). When I went to close the button, it wouldn't close and I kept trying and trying and eventually it broke! I had to go up to the counter and pay for them! Everyone is noticing I've gained alot of weight and I'm gettin things said to me like Wow what happened and did you eat the supermarket! Please please PLEASE reply to me and give me your thoughts and advice, thanks. xox

If you really gained that much weight in that short period of time, you might have some kind of medical condition...my friend gained a lot of weight real quickly, like you, and it turned out there was something wrong with her thyroid or something. Don't know exactly. Anyway, check it out with your parents and your doctor.
