[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 19696, member: 1550"] Actually, I'm the one living in a small town. She lives in Illinois, a state away, in a big suburb. I don't want to scare anyone or get anyone in trouble. I just wonder if the girl needs medical help, since we have so many psychiatric issues in our family. She not only runs three miles every day, she runs after school and plays soccer. I don't know about her eating habits. My sister said she tries to eat "healthy" and there's nothing wrong with that. But my sister has mentioned to me that she's afraid she has "anorexia" but then says she was only kidding. If it's normal for runners not to get periods, maybe I should just leave it alone. She is a very energetic girl who gets straight A's, does sports, has friends and goes, goes, goes. I was skinny in high school--five feet tall and 93 lbs. It runs in our family. But I wasn't weight-obsessed or an over-exerciser, and I wasn't as skinny as her. I can't imagine a high school kid fitting into my daughter's size 12 jeans. They look so small! Anyways, keep the feedback coming. This won't be easy to decide because it CAN look revengeful. I've been worried about this child for a long time, but couldn't get my sister to take it seriously...in a way I just want to walk away because I know CPS ain't the greatest either. [/QUOTE]
