Hello everyone, Op here First off, holy crap i didnt think this would get published, but when i got the email that it did, i HAD to look at the comments. Secondly, she doesnt live with me most of the time, she lives with her dad and visits me one day a week and every other weekend. I am there for her and we talk a lot and are very close. Thirdly, i have NO idea why she said this. I talked to her after her friend left and she told me that she is very confident in herself, but feels that she wants to be a size 0, not a size 2. She is very open with me and i can spot when she is not being truthful from a mile away. I explained to her how it was highly inappropriate and she seemed to understand. The friend that she had over is one friend that neither me nor her father likes. She has influenced my daughter in an unhealthy way. If my ex or myself notices any more behavior like this then we will take her to therapy. My daughter definitely meant leukemia because when i asked her about it, she told me that it was not anorexia or bulimia that she was talking about. She is very confident with her body and i actually have to tell her to cover up sometimes because of what she wears. Anyway, I spoke with her and she now understands how bad cancer is and what it does to people. I will definitely be keeping a closer eye on her now and her father will too. And to those of you who said i was eavesdropping, she was in the living room, and i was coming down the stairs.

People do know the severity of leukaemia, and assuming she knows how severe it is, she might be asking for help in an indirect way. Saying something that drastic shouldn't be overseen.

Yeah, and then she gets it and wishes she didn't have it and regrets ever wishing such a horrible thing.
Apparently you need to educate your daughter on what leukemia is ...
Yep, my dad has Leukemia and has suffered from hot flashes, throwing up, cold flashes, being too sick to eat some times, and having to get his blood drawn every few months to check it.

My cousin was diagnosed with leukemia as a toddler and the treatment caused mental development issues. Luckily she's been in recession most of her life, but when cancer is active it's terrible. A third of my family has died of one cancer or another, and I just lost a pet that had cancer of the kidneys.
Tell her to lose weight the healthy way: By starving, puking and taking diet pills. Gee teenagers these days, wanting to do everything the easy way /sarcasm Seriously though, do talk with your daughter, she might be developing anorexia or going through some self-image issues.
Forget **** your life **** this generation
Don't blame the generation. It has goods and bads, just like every other generation in the past.
Does she mean anemia... Either way she needs a serious talk....

I'm thinking she doesn't have a clue as to what she really said. I suggest she spend some time volunteering at a children's cancer center so she can have a reality check.
1.) Cancer generally does not cause you to shed pounds, for she is confused with hair loss associated with treatment. 2.) Even if it did, why would she want something as bad as cancer when she can simply just work out?
Because people are lazy and want to lose weight without having to do any of the work. A 16 yr old girl stopped coming to see her 13 yr old sister at the hospital I volunteer at because she was "so lucky to be skinny and be able to stay in bed all day so you should stop complaining."
Someone who's just lazy wouldn't wish for cancer. OP really should find out how her daughter is feeling. If she has body image issues (which are likely at 14), she could be well on her way to getting a severe illness herself if they're left unchecked.
46, I've read a lot of horrifying things on this site, but I think that one takes a trophy home. I'm speechless. I hope the 13 year old was okay in the end.
That's such a horrible thing to wish upon yourself or someone else. If she wants to lose weight, then I'm sure going to the gym will do good for anyone. Exercising is a great way to stay healthy.
Take her to visit kids with it. Make her spend time with them and force her to see how these kids just want to see their next birthday. SMH.

I'm not big on smacking kids often, but I hope you smacked the stupid out of her.
If you get the chance OP have your daughter read this. My best friend just lost her step brother a few weeks ago to lymphoma which is very similar to leukemia. She was visiting me from our home state when she got the call. I was the one who held her as she cried. He was only in his early 20's. He went through several bouts of bone marrow transplants, which are extremely painful for both the doner and the receiver. His immune system started to reject everything, he looked like a burn victim. His skin was so dry and cracking to the point it would bleed. Then it would scar. He lost all of his teeth in the last few months of his life and was forced on to a liquid diet. He went from being on his way to a college basketball scholarship to bed ridden and confined to a wheel chair. He spent sometime in remission only to relapse about a year ago. He spent six years fighting and just couldn't fight anymore just last month. His whole body just shut down and he said he wasn't ready to die. These are the kind of complications that when you look up lymphoma that you won't find. It's not a funny joke nor is it a cool way to lose weight. He lost weight, because he couldn't eat or move or really anything else. Oh and there's a little issue of your hair falling out. I also just lost my Uncle to bone cancer 2 days ago. It's not cute nor funny to see my father upset over his brother being gone. He was there when he passed and said he never wanted to do anything like that again. A lot of people on here I'm sure will call me out as being "fake" however, I am happy to send the obits and FB pages your way. Is this all worth it for a size 0 jean?
