Can you please give me advice?

Ok so at home I have no problem with eating but when I'm at school it's like I have anorexia or something. No offense to anyone. I think it's because I want to look good in front of others but I don't know.

Don't worry bout what others think and trust me it's normal to eat if anything it's more abnormal to never eat! K

That also happens to me. But its mostly because i never really eat at school except for my freshman year. If you want to eat go ahead. No one is going to judge. If you're hungry eat. If not then dont eat but i would highly recommend it. I didnt eat breakfast one time and it was all day testing and my stomach was growling so loud. It was bad. But you should at least eat something or a snack at school. And honestly i HAVE to eat because if i dont my stomach hurts. I can go all day without eating but then my stomach hurts so i force my self to eat. sorry if this didnt help.

you might be afraid of what others would say if you were to eat normally but you shouldn't care about what others think of you if your hungry, EAT! :D

Lots of people don't eat lunch at school... Personally, I eat whenever I want & my metabolism is so high that I don't gain weight, ever. But if the case is different for you, Try eating small portions of healthy, or organic foods. They actually make you feel better in general throughout the day, and you will probably want to stick with it after about a week. for example; an apple, a salad, yogurt, protein bar, fruits, etc. Not only will you feel better, but people around you will notice your healthy eating habits and this way you will still look good in front of people. But if you are seriously Hungary, eat all you want. I eat lunch every day at school and people never hate on me for it. If you want people to think you look good, watch what you eat, not the amount.

Why is eating in front of others at school going to make you look bad? I think you should tell your parents what's going on at school with regards to your eating habits. I feel this should be discussed with your doctor! Talk to your parents so they can get you some help with this now!

This is a common adolescent syndrome - eating in public makes you feel "exposed" and vulnerable to criticism. This happens also frequently in first-dates that include dining out - it's a thought pattern of being overly judged by others - so you avoid eating at all. Advice: don't be so hard on yourself - eat without fear of being judged - you're going to have to do a lot of things that you may feel phobic about now - put it out of your mind - remember - most of the kids you're eating with right now - you'll never see again once you've graduated - don't give them power over you. You are an organic life-form that needs food to function properly - that basic human need comes with just being alive and staying that way. The only other advice I can think of - wash your hands before eating and learn basic table manners - don't eat like something that just crawled down from a tree. ;-)
