Prunes are your friend. They are as strong of a laxative as you should ever need.

Never take any kind of medicine unless you know exactly what you're taking. Laxatives come in various forms and various containers. They are always clearly labelled as to what they are. Ask your parents if there are any laxatives in the house. Don't be embarrassed about this. Everyone, even your parents, get constipated from time to time.
Some other things that might help:
1. Walking.
2. Eat 3 or 4 prunes and drink a glass of water before going to bed.
3. Get yourself on some kind of regular schedule for bowel movements.

You do not want to take laxatives without telling someone. Laxatives can be very harsh on your system and you could end up spending the night on the toilet. Tell your mom you are consitpated and she will know what to do.

DO NOT take a pill based on what anyone says they look like or you could seriously hurt yourself. Just ask your parents...it's human to not be able to poo sometimes.
Good luck

BAD idea! Don't take an medicines without knowing what you are taking.
Prunes are good, but so are apples. Any dried fruit will help, even raisins.
And it really is okay to ask your parents. This is the kind of thing they can help with.

Look for 'source of fiber' on the label. Eat fruits and vegies to get fiber which bonds with liquids in the intestines to pass impurities through easily.

If you legitimately need them, ask your parents.
If you want to use them to diet, you should rethink it. They aren't healthy to use for that.
Laxatives can cause cramping, intestinal blockage, or diarrhea. You could also end up being dependent on them, which is very bad.

You have an eating disorder. Stay away from the laxatives and celebrity pics, sister!
