Question by lindsay: How can I get emancipated to avoid medical treatment for bulimia?!?
I’m 17 and my parents/ doctor are trying to put me in this recovery center for bulimia in a different state for months. How do I get emancipated so I can avoid going to this? Is this possible?!

i’ve been doing this for only two years, i’m 5’6″ 110lbs (not underweight), and I can stop at any time so I don’t need treatment.
