Yeah that's what bothers me. There was a point where my mother (There's been
a lot of changing opinions and ideas over the past time. I think I've switched my final decision three or four times before being sure of which one I want) wanted to go back and I was fully against it but I understood her situation as well as my father whom didn't really want to stay and told them that I agreed to go despite actually wanting to. But the situation is pretty much the opposite now, only that over time I've come to realise that their reasons were actually very valid points and now they just want to stay for some family. Of course I want them to be happy too but I find it hard to equally consider each of us when they are just fine and OK with basically putting my life on hold until August of next year and to pass the time I can attend a school in which they want to put me on a very high level that I'm never gonna be able to handle seeing as I can't even write in my own language anymore.
The difference really is that I and my brother (Even though he's moving so it doesn't matter for him) are the only ones trying to think for the family as a whole. In return I get told that it's not such a bad thing because "The food is better here".

Nothing is serious just yet but I don't know if this'll end well.

Hm, indeed. While I appreciate the importance of family, there comes a time where one must appreciate one's own individuality, I will care for my family always, but I need care for myself too.

Aye. I guess all I can do is wait really. See how things turn out.
I think I may have been convinced if it wasn't for the year I need to retake. The shitty part about this is what no matter if we stay or leave I won't actually finish school as a whole until I'm 19. In fact if we do end up in the US I may even finish on my 19th birthday. Now that's quite a present.

alright sorry to interrupt you keane but i have something i am just going to dump here
basically, one of my friends is anorexic, i have just found out, and very underweight. she's five foot tall, and she's down to just under six stone. she has a bmi of 16.7 v.v
worst still, she still thinks she's overweight. she's aiming for five stone. five fucking stone. which puts her bmi at 13.6
and i don't know what i can do about this. .___. i mean, i know i can't really, but she's my best friend. i've known her all my life, pretty much. about 14 years? and my dad was friends with her dad so even before i met her my parents did. she used to be round my house all the time.
I am trying to convince her that she's fine and doesn't need to lose any more, but i don't know if it's sinking in. i've explained the long term damage it would cause, including her fertility later in life (or worse if her body goes into starvation mode) and i just don't think she really grasps it. i told her that if she stays between about seven and eight stone, she should be fine. seven stone itself is still skinny (ideal weight is seven stone seven, which gives her a bmi of 20.5, which is perfectly healthy) but it's a start at least. it's better than fucking five.
i'm actually really angry with myself that i didn't know or notice sooner. like i said, she used to be around my house like every week. if she still was, i would have noticed ages ago. her ex put her up to it, apparently. him and his mates were giving her shit for being fat and she was 7 stone 2 (i think?) at the time.
so yeah ._. sorry i just needed a place to vent about it. i can't put it on tumblr because she follows me.
EDIT: 5 stone=31 kilograms. 6 stone=38 kilograms. 7 stone=44 kilograms. 7 stone 7=47 kilograms. 8 stone=50 kilograms. or there abouts? i mean it's all point something but i just rounded it off . 3 . you get the picture right?

Have you shown her her BMI in comparison to what's healthy with factual online statistics? I'm sure she can't argue with the fact that a BMI of 13.6 would literally kill someone. If her sole reasoning is thinking that she's overweight, then perhaps being blunt ("Would seriously rather listen to your ex of all people and either end up dead or in the ER, instead of listening to the voice of logic and reason and live a healthy life?") would be the best way to convince her otherwise?

Blimey, it's sad to see how some are compelled into manufacturing their image like so due to the manipulations of popular sources. I hope your friend will be able to forsake this compulsion and see reason, given the severity of what she's inflicting upon herself to appease those who clearly don't care for who she is as a person, but what she is to the eye, and that's horrible.

I find it funny how illogical 'popular sources' work. In reality, the most popular sources are those you can Google, information that's readily available. There's the most of that, yet people choose to believe the stupidest niche things that people they obviously split off from for a reason tell them.

Indeed, we have the internet, a vast collective of knowledge, amongst other things. Yet, despite all this readily available info, the information many take to heart is those purposely manufactured to make one question ones self image. It's silly, but tragic in a way how that's the case.

i did. she replied with Oh well idk:/ and then started talking about how my body was perfect and she wanted to look like me. i then patiently explained that my bmi is 23.2, she is 16.7, and that where she wants to be (13.6) is about ten points(?) below me.
she just waffled on about about her ex and the amount of exercise she does and stuff. i think i've just managed to convince her, but i don't know how seriously she's going to take me. .-.

If she doesn't seem to be taking you seriously, you'll need to do everything in your power to make sure you're taken seriously. I wouldn't accept an "I don't know", I would demand that she answer the question, because you are that serious.

Don't try to be someone else, fictional or not, I think that's a bad idea. Its better to be yourself because else you're putting a fake personality over yours for no good reason.

You make a lot of grammar mistakes but its readable still. Weird though.

You seriously need to sleep if you start seeing hallucinations.

Seeing how bad it is over there that would be better.

What the hell. Why would she do that, that's just wrong.

If you're starting to be schizophrenic you seriously need to see someone, this is bad.

Off topic nonetheless, but "girlfriend"? I doubt individuals our age can have "serious" relationships - most appear to date others simply because dating at a young age is some sort of new trend.
Anyways, I would go on to complain about school since I've only just hit the tip of the iceberg with that topic but I'd rather not annoy all of you with that previously mentioned shit. I'd rather complain about having to show my report card which contains an F and D. My parents - my mom specifically - are of the perfectionist variety and nothing I ever do will be good enough nor will I ever be complimented, rather my flaws will always be pointed. Yikes. I'd also like bitch about my lack of social skills and the failing friendship I have with the one I love.
We were close friends at first, always spoke to each other and sat by each other, and she even referred to me as her best friend. Then during the middle of last school year all Hell was unleashed, partly thanks to my stupidity and I only managed to slightly patch things up with her at the end of the school year and even now she mostly loathes me, claiming I annoy her, minus a few good moments here and there were we get along. Simply thinking about her causes me to go near tears and gives me the urge to crawl into a dark corner and rot silently.
That reminds me, my previous best friend who transferred to a different school over the summer before last school year has also been on my mind lately and thinking of them also gives me the urge to disintegrate. Every single person at school has at least one or more individuals at their side who they are close, yet I'm always walking alone. Even those put farther away on the sidelines, those noticed even less, have at least one best friend. I do have a group of friends but over all I remain mostly in the background. I could go on but I find that I've pumped out enough angst for one day.
