The first exchange student we had come live with us this year (Sinthu from Norway) is being sent home tomorrow. She went to live with another family after Thanksgiving. We still aren't sure why other than she wanted to.
Her new host family found out that she was throwing up a lot. She told them several different stories but what it has all come down to is that she has a problem that she isn't admitting to and EF Foundation isn't willing to be responsible for her health to that extent. I have no proof but we are pretty sure she has bulimia. It didn't start after she got here, it's been going on for quite some time. It's sad that she is sick in that way and it is ending up getting her sent home. She really needs to get help and the only way to get that is to send her home. She is upset and angry (understandably). I just hope her parents will get her the help she needs.

Sorry to hear that she is not doing well. Hopefully she can get some good help. Eating disorders are really hard to overcome.
