2 Months ago you were age 13 and not going to live longer than a week because of a disease. Hmmm, you need to find more contructive things to do than scam people into feeling sorry for you.
Your questions:
My docter says that I am going to die in a week, I'm thirteen, what have I not done to fulfill my life?

Just because you loose a leg you do not expect to die. I would imagine someone who is actually in this situation would not like you making light of it. Shame on you.

If he is right, it will set your mind at ease if you get a second opinion to confirm this, because at least you will know and can make a plan. If he is wrong, then the second opinion will help you move ahead with your life.
I agree with the others that nothing you have said here gives any indication that you are in a terminal condition, and if you were, like if you had gangrene, you might not have that long!
Although you are very young, you are getting a taste of one of the truths of life, that it is fragile and finite. Live every single day to the fullest. Tell the people around you that you love them, and take the love you are given.
But for now, I would find another doctor to talk with. Please write back and tell this community what you find out. I would like to know how you are doing.

SOME not all but SOME doctors are bull **** artists. A doctor told my family that my grandmothers cancer was so bad that she will have only 1 month left, IF SHES LUCKY. Guess what?? That was exactly 11 months ago and she is doing GREAT living her life to the fullest. Dont let anyone tell you that you have a certain amount of time to live. Everyone has A death date, NOBODY knows when your times up. With that being said, relax, talk to your parents and family and take it easy. Live everyday like its your last, because NOBODY is promised tomorrow. Dont stress out with worries, that will hurt you more then anything. :) You will be fine, and get A new doctor, he sounds like a quack.

LOL! Two months' ago, you said the doctor told you that you have a week to live! So, I guess you're either full of BS, or you need a new doctor. Really, dude, why are you so full of despair? You have every reason to live a long, full life. Find something to do with your time, other than being on the computer.

what i am about to tell you is a true story,i will just list the important parts for you to think about .
when i was 17 years old i was in the army , i had a bad accident where i was struck by a man on a motorcycle the foot peg on the bike hit me 6 inches above my left ankle and shattered the leg bones and ankle bones giving me a very serious compound fracture.i spent the next three nonths on my back with an open cast in a military hospital i had over 900 stitches on my left side lower part of leg. i got gangreene and had to spend a lot more time in the hospital and every day my dr. would come into my room ps they put me in a room where i was by myself because my leg smelt so bad that nobody could stand it or me screaming all the time ,and every day the dr. told me he was going to amputate my leg , i threw every thing in my room at him till finally there was nothing left to throw .then one day they brought in this very old veteren to my room this old gent came up to my bed in his wheel chair and lifted the cover off of the hoop i had covering my legs as the pain was very bad and i was screaming at him because the pain just from moving the blanket off was very bad he made a comment to me that i remembered to this day i have seen this before tell your nurse to put a heat lamp on your leg , it took some persistence but she finally got permission from the dr to try it by the way the old jent passed away that same night, after about a week of the heat lamp the leg started to heal and in another two months they tried a skin graft , first on didnt take after a couple of months they tried another graft and a little piece of the graft took and started to growthis to this point was about 8 or nine months in the hospital by then
needless to say a total of about 18 months had passed first a wheel chair ,then crutches ,then i walked with a cain for about 6 years, i stayed in the army and passed all there physical exams retired after 21 years with a regulr pension all because i told the dr. no you are not
God and you will not tell me your going to do anything to my body unless I say you can i became a licsenced mechanic ,and his lic says he can practice medicine well sorry not on me he cant he does noy have the right to tell you when your going to die unless you want to die when he says you will just tell him no and set your mind on healing just like i did hope this helps you a little bit ps i will be 60 this november

This doesn't sound realistic. You need to provide more information. Many people live with amputations. What is causing your doctor to say that you are dying? In any case spend your days doing what you enjoy and spending time with those that you love and life will be full. Good Luck.

I do not know where you live or what your financial situation is but I would recommend you find another doctor. What do your parents say about all this and what are they doing to help?
Apart from traditional medicine you and your family could try energy therapy such as EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) as it helps with healing from an emotional perspective as well as from a physical one. It is drug-free and easy to learn for yourself.
You can find out more from these sites below.
Good luck with your healing.

I don't quite understand why having an amputated leg at fourteen means you won't live much longer. I think you need to speak with your parents.
If it is correct, then I suggest spending time with those you love.

What does your ambutation and car accident have to do with you not living past Halloween. You aren't providing more detail. Based on what you have so far, it doesn't sound terminal to me.

I think you should find a new doctor. The one you have is giving you bad information.
I just wonder what exactly he expects you to die from.
You sound pretty ok to me.
