@princessdisney26 I think they need to pay more attention to eating disorders. when I tried getting help for my anorexia, the people in my high school just made fun of me for it. The schools need to learn how to try to make people with mental health issues feel better in school and not kick us out. they should learn the triggers for anorexics/bulimics/cutters/ect­. cuz right now it seems like they only add stress

@wander099

please understand that my comment was stemmed from reality. never did i say to deny people w/ eating disorders and education...i agree it will add more stress! but i was kicked out of school due to my eating disorder...and i tried to fight it but they refused and made it extremely hard for me to return..even more so i was threatened 4 times to be sent home...so don't call me a moron. i have an eating disorder for 7 years so before u call someone anyone a moron get ur facts straight.

@princessdisney26, yeah, lets give them more stress, take them away from potential help resources, and possibly damage their future by denying them an education. Sure, that's the answer, throw them out /sarcasm Moron.

yeah the can't force them but they can kick them out of school.
