Yes. I am recovering from bulimia. I believe the first time I purged I was 13 years old and I am 19 now. Basically, after 6 years of bulimia, you will lose control of your gag reflux. This means that when I eat something that doesn't settle well in my stomach (even the slightest) that I will immediately throw up.
I had to have two teeth removed because they were infected.
I once had a thick healthy head of hair, only now to find it all falling out when I take a shower. 19 years old and I am losing my hair!
It all seemed so important to me at 13, and I knew about the risks -- I knew what would happen and I did it anyway. Believe me -- it is totally not worth it.

Yes. I girl that went to my school in high school died because her heart just gave way from being so weak. You can get osteoporosis, which means your bones are way more fragile than normal. You will start growing more hair, including your face. Your heart and other organs will weaken and will eventually shut down. You need to eat. If you did not need to eat, and it did not cause any problems, everyone would be bulimic. Get some help for yourself!

Yes, never go down the eating disorder path. Just stick to a healthy diet and include lots of exercise.

Yes. This ruins your metabolism permanently, so bad idea. Plus, it makes your cheeks swell up making you look fatter. The other comments were correct also.

It is extremely dangerous. It is life-threatening. You could damage your esophagous so much that it may bleed uncontollably, you could get esophogeal ulcers or cancer, throat cancer, lose your teeth, become anemic, have blackouts, etc, etc. It you are talking about yourself, please get help now. If it is a person you care about, talk to them or their parents. You may save a life.
