How Addiction Happens

Question by Rachel Mathers: If i do this What will happen?
I don’t plan on doing it for very long or even more than twice but I want to try and throw up what I have eaten. Please don’t tell me I am being stupid it will only make it worse. I am asking for help. Will it become an addiction easily? Does it hurt? How fast does it work? I want to be skinnier so much. I am almost 14. About 5 foot 1. Sort of muscular build. B cup. I don’t think I am fat but I am so unhappy with my body.
