Reply from Flower Fawn, Age 14 - 03/29/08 - IP#: 68.236.23.xxx I know how you feel. I gained 20 lbs this year because my family seemed to be falling apart. The best thing to do is try to help when you can and comfort when you can, but leave the rest to fate. If you're religious, I recommend some sort of prayer or spiritual meditation to help you find peace and ask for help. But really, it's not selfish to take care of yourself. At times it's hard, but mostly try to eat well and exercise. Remember that stuffing food into your mouth won't make the problems go away, it'll just cause MORE problems. And who needs that? You're in my prayers, so good luck!
