    What do you mean by "sick"?

    How old are you? Are you male or female?

    I throw up or get very nauseas. It's been going on for almost 2 weeks. & I barely eat because of the way it makes me feel.

    EVERY time you eat, or just certain foods?

    Do you drink anything?

    I have, they just make me eat and it makes me feel worse. Do you think I have an eating disorder? Maybe if I had an idea of what it was I could tell them and they would then realize its serious

    I have no idea if you have an eating disorder. There could be something physically wrong with your digestive system, like a tumor or an ulcer or some kind of blockage. You could be unconsciously talking yourself into not being able to eat to get attention. Part of your life might be out of control and needs to be fixed. Your parents need to know and believe eating is a problem for you. Have one or both of them watch you spit out food or throw up or be unable to swallow. At your age, food is vitally important to your growth and well being, so if you are not eating well, your body and brain are going to suffer. You will lose weight, you will get weak and listless, you will not do well in school. Messing up nutrition now at this stage of your life can affect your body and brain and bones for the rest of your life.

    An eating disorder is more often then not a psychological issue based on self-image.

    There are physiological reasons and that is what it feels like. Tell your parents that you CAN'T eat, not that you don't want to. If your parents aren't taking this seriously then go to a walk-in clinic on your own. Don't let this go any longer.

    Have you ever used fake sickness on your parents before? Just in a "Boy who called wolf" curiosity.
