I have a question about my big brother.
He’s kind of in trouble and I don’t know what to do. For the last three years he’s been obsessed with losing weight. He was sort of heavy to begin with, but it kind of got out of control. He rarely eats anymore, and avoids meals. The few times that he does eat he takes this weird laxative stuff afterwards, or sometimes during the meal. I’m getting really worried about him. My mom has noticed this too and has tried to talk to him about it, but my dad encourages it. Whenever my mom tries to get him to eat normally he yells at her about ’sabotaging him’. He even gives my brother the laxatives, and makes sure he never runs out. My mom’s pretty much given up talking about it, since my dad runs the house. I’ve tried talking to my brother directly, but he says that he’s fat and ugly and needs to change that. None of his teachers seem to notice that he’s not eating lunch or anything, but I guess that’s because he’s a boy and they’re taught to look out for the girls. I don’t know who I can talk to about this, and I’m scared for my big brother. What should I do?
