I don't know what to do

Blackrose2006

I keep having arguments with my parents, they keep calling me fat and tell me I need to lose weight. It's having a big impact on my mental health. After an argument i had today, i walked out and they said don't come back. I don't know what to do! I've spoken to a couple of my friends, but i'm at the library and i only have 30 minutes left, and i don't have a phone. I can't deal with my parents anymore.

I am so sorry you have to go through this in the comfort of your own home. I urge you to speak to a member of staff you trust in your school/uni/work etc.
This is not right and no one should ever have to go through this with their parents.
Good luck!

First of all, do not listen to the awful advice from TSR community staff. The fact they are telling you to call child services on behalf of your parents calling you fat and insisting you lose weight is absurd.

From this perspective, it seems your parents want the best for you by wanting you to lose weight. It may seem harsh to you but they want you to be in good physique which leads to increased mental well-being. Losing weight is also beneficial in physical health which will lead to a greater quality of life for you in the future. Listen and agree to try out your parents advice for a couple months and see where that will lead you.

I'm not even 11 stone, and 5'8" so no I'm not fat.
