Answers:

You're 12, so you are probably going through a growth spurt. If you are hungry when you're eating, that is. At your age, it's perfectly normal to go through stages where you eat a lot, just roll with it and it will calm down, you'll probably be another inch taller in a matter of months.

HOWEVER, if you are eating because you are upset, or if you don't know why you are eating but you feel that you must, you may suffer from a EDNOS, in the binging category. Do a little research and see which one it is. Best thing to do - DON"T PANIC!
