Answers:
i dont think you should starve yourself just dont eat the foods they fix!. eat something else that always got to my parentsWww@Answer-Health@Com

I would vote against you hurting yourself!. Everyone has fights with their parents!. My parents have been divorced since I was a year old and both are remarried to people I struggled to get along with for my entire lifetime!. I did things like hunger strikes and hurting myself and even running away to try to beat it into their head that they were being unreasonable and cruel!.!.!.but turn the situation around!.!.!.if you do stuff to harm yourself to prove a point, you are proving nothing except you are no better than they are!.

Parents care whether or not we want to believe it or even see it in them!. I wold suggest that you examine your actions previously made to see when they started acting this way and see if you changed something in your attitude to cause this reaction of theirs!.

Parents believe they are to be respected before respecting, therefore, though you probably won't like it, you will need to respect them (kinda suck up to them a BIT) and they will come around!. Honor your father and your mother no matter what they say or do, pray often that you show care for them even if they don't show it to you, and pray again for their openness to your decisions but guide you accordingly!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Are hunger strikes okay!? Well yes, in the right circumstance!. But I doubt that in this one it is really the right choice

Coming to an adult agreement with one's parents has always been difficult, even since the beginning of time!. Oh who am I kidding!? This is always one little slice of true hell with just a dollop of yellow cheese!

Since you are obviously now at a time when you are approaching equal adulthood with your parents, then there will be times when you must compromise more, and others when they will be asked to do the same!.

So it will often be upon you to be the adult!. Be a good one!. Be accepting, be forgiving, and be loving!. You will not likely be faulted for loving ever, even if you are wrong!.

So take it all in stride!. Life goes on!.

No, hunger strikes are NOT okay!. It's somewhat the same thing as holding your breath, stamping your feet and throwing a temper tantrum!.

Maybe you need to re-evaluate your behavior!. I can't believe your parents are doing this without some sort of cause!. Parents rarely reward good behavior by "calling rude names and not respecting" their children!.

I'm borderline anemic myself, and a one-day fast wouldn't hurt anyone but myself!.

Quit trying to spite yourself and your parents, and get your life on track!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

They are not going to respect you more for doing this!. Don't stoop to there level!. In fact they may be more upset with you for having to pay medical bills and inconveniencing them and all you will have achieved is upsetting your and making yourself sick!. I am not sure of your full situation and how to help it!. I just don't see you doing this making the impact you hope and more likely back firing!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, it depends!. What is it exactly they are doing that you are protesting!? Parents make good decisions all the time that their kids don't like!.
It isn't good for a young person to go without food very long!.
OTOH, it's good to stick up for yourself if they are doing something really wrong!.

Food for thought--if they really are terrible parents, they won't care if you starve!. Right!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

not eating, skipping meals and starving yourself puts serious strain on your body!. you can develop organ problems!. your organs dont function properly when you're not eating!. those issues are not easy to reverse!. especially since you're anemic you need to be taking extra care of your body!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

No they aren't!. They just prove the person is too immature to deal with the situation properly!. Talk it out, starving yourself is stupid!.
Do you actually think your parents will be that bothered!? You are only spiting yourself by not eating, not them!. They aren't the ones who will be hungry and sick!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

think of something else to do the one thats gonna suffer more is u
ure the one that gonna be sick and feel bad
maybe just not talk to them and be in ur room all day or something
just dont stop eating good luck :]Www@Answer-Health@Com

If that will make a statement then yea why not!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No, it's stupid, don't make yourself sick at the expense of punishing yourself and trying to get back at your parents!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Not a very intelligent idea!. I would eat!. If you are angry with them, then just stay quiet all day!. Don't talk to anybody!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No we live in America and we like to eat a lotWww@Answer-Health@Com

I DID THE SAME THING WHEN I WAS 15, I DIDN'T EAT FOR A YEAR( HONESTLY) I GOT REALLY SICK!. DON'T HURT YOURSELF!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you are trying to punish your parents by hurting yourself!. not a good idea!. better to get in touch with your anger and write journals about how you feel!. try to understand that their whole purpose in life is not to make your miserable, they are trying to protect you and keep you safe and stop you from what they feel are poor decisions!. if you try to see their point of view you will be able to relate to them better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
