] Dear Abby: I am 13 years old, and I suffer from a
] condition where a person has a strong, persistent desire
] to have one or more limbs amputated. This happens every
] day, and I don't understand it, but I want to have my leg
] amputated.
]
]
] I have researched prosthetics on the Internet and have
] found that life as an amputee is not that different. But
] I'm afraid if I tell my parents they will think I'm
] crazy.
]
]
] What should I do? Please answer this. It is ripping me
] apart.
