You should seek medical attention immediately. They will help you figure out why you are not eating and hopefully make you better. If you do have an eating disorder, its all about your mental health. Talk to you parents and act mature about the situation. They wont shove food in your mouth, tell them that you think that you should see a doctor and they will understand

It is possible. You could also have an intestinal parasite or another digestive disorder. Do you feel happy with your body? If not then it most likely is an eating dissorder. See your doctor first and get some tests done. If it is just a matter of no appetite then check out a natural product called Bio-strath. You can google it. Good luck

Do not self diagnose...
That is the worst thing you could do right now...
The best thing to do is go see your doctor or a nutritionist. It doesn't matter if you are a vegetarian or not....
Also, tell your parents. They may go crazy but you need all the support you can get right now.
Figure out what is happening to you by going to see someone professional...
Other than that, good luck :)

could it instead just be problems with your appetite?? Eating disorders are usually accompanied by an unhealthy body image (such as feeling you are 'fat' despite your actual weight?). are you repulsed by food or is it more a feeling of not being hungry?
One possibility I'm thinking...since you're a vegetarian, your diet is most likely very high in fiber - which has the side effect of making you feel very full and occasionally bloated...and therefore affects your appetite.
you don't necessarily need to talk to your parents about it, but I would talk to your Dr...most likely you are not getting the nutrition you need because of it.

If you have a good relationship with your parents then you should sit them down and really talk to them. They may freak out at first but if you explain everything to them and be up front they should be there for you and take you to talk to someone about why you may feel like you have an eating disorder. If not comfortable with talking to parents then talk to a trusted teacher.

Yes, I am afraid you are showing early signs. Please get help from somebody -- a councilor at school, a pastor, or a close friend. Do this before it does become a serious problem. You may also have a health problem that a doctor should know about.
Good luck dear.

Admitting that you are scared and may have a problem is a HUGE first step.... tell your Mom you need help and want her support. Ask her to make you a Dr appt and a counselor appt

Talk to a counselor.
Eat small bites & then stop.
Eat what you like to eat, frequently.
