A member asked:
I have been struggling with bulimia, but tomorrow my friend is taking me to the school nurse to get help. should i tell my parents?

Support is crucial: If you're talking about yourself or someone else in her teens and living with her family, then absolutely, tell the mother. Bulimia is a serious disorder that is treatable but not easily so. Keeping it a "secret" from those close to you will make effective treatment far harder. You'll need all the support you can get from family and professionals. The school nurse is a start, but only that.
