Do teachers tell about bulimia?!


Question: Do teachers tell about bulimia?
I've had this for almost 2 years now and recently it has gotten worse to the point where I do it almost 4 times a day. The reason why I do it is not because I think I'm fat but because of stress and because I'm just so depressed. I really want to stop and I want help but I don't know how to tell my parents. There is this teacher that I really trust and I would just like her to tell my parents cause I'm just to embarrassed to do it..
Is this a good idea, how do I approach my teacher to tell her. I'm really scared..

Part of your recovery is telling those that matter.To keep this secret is depriving you of a solid
Recovery.The first way to help is to see you have a problem,when you acknowledge this you realize
it.Part of your help comes from learning how to deal with stress,it's a learned trait.



Teachers can tell parents about these things.
After class, try walking up to her and say, "I have something I need to ask you about. Could I talk to you in private?" And the teacher should shoo everyone out of the room. And you'll be able to talk to her. It doesn't matter what you say, just say that you have it and you need help. I can't tell you not to be scared, but I can tell you that I hope it works.

AND DO IT. JUST DO IT. WALK UP TO HER AND TELL HER.

And the rest is easy.



After class, ask the teacher if you can talk with them privately about a serious matter. Then, when you do, ask the teacher if they can tell your parents.



Yes, either a teacher or guidance counsellor would actually be obligated to report it to your parents if you're under eighteen. I think it's a really good idea, I did something similar to tell my parents that I was self harming. Approach your teacher after class and tell her that you need to talk to her about something important. Explain that you're struggling with an eating disorder, and that you feel like you need to reach out and get some help. She'll probably tell you that she has to tell your parents, but if by some chance she doesn't ask her if she could help you, and tell her that you don't feel you can do it on your own. Your teacher will probably work with you to develop a way to tell your parents. Best of luck with this, honestly getting treatment for my eating disorder was the best thing I ever did for myself. It's much easier to figure out why your doing it, and work towards resolving whatever the issues you're struggling with with the help from professionals, and even others who are going through similar things.
