So I'm 80 pounds and 16 years old and the docs say they need to put me in the hosp because I'm 30 pounds under weight, but I've been really skinny and small my whole life and no one has said anything about it, I'm not going back to the hosp. help?
No. Being skinny could not cause all that. I've had friends who were smaller than you at your age. They were perfectly healthy. It's not the skinny part that causes it. It's the not eating part. See, because to be naturally skinny, means you eat and digest a normal amount (I.e. the amount an average 16 year old female would eat) and not gain weight. What exactly do you want help with? See thing is, food is not around just because people are bored. We need to eat in order to live. What makes you anorexic is that you're not eating enough to survive. You're killing yourself. Apparently someone cares enough to try to stop you.
Well they told me, I am having liver failure and kidney as well and my dad told me I could die and I'm have like barley any iron in me but could being skinny cause all that. I'm only 4'11 I'm really short, I'm not suppose to be big, My nanny is the same way, She's skinny but tall.
The doctor would know for sure if you were just naturally small. Maybe you have a disorder, but you don't try to. There might be something wrong and I would go to the hospital to get it checked out.
you sound anorexic and trust the Dr and please get help. Yes, you could die if left untreated.
