You need a doctor!. Babe, you're killing yourself!.
Taking laxatives to lose weight is a clear sign that you and food are not on good terms right now!. It doesn't really work anyway!. What it does is push things out of your system faster, so you feel lighter and more drained!. It can be very addictive that way!. But it's not 'real' weight loss, it's just dumping out the insides of your guts!.
You probably don't want to hear the word bulimia, because it's not a pretty word!. Unfortunately, that's what you have!. It's not that unusual!. Lots of girls (and even some boys, and some famous men) get stressed out trying to be perfect and indulge in unhealthy behaviors like that!.
But it's not good for you!. In the long run it can really screw up your guts so they don't function right anymore (you don't really want to have to wear a diaper, do you!?)
Find a nurse or a teacher to talk to if you can't talk to your parents!. You need help!.
