Should I confront my 15 yr old daughter about finding a diet supplement tucked in leg warmers in her drawer?

She's already very thin and gets picked on for it. I got this stuff for my dad originally to lose weight since he's heavy, called Auyerslim. He didn't like it so he have it back to me and I've had it in my med cabinet for a while thinking I may want to try it it I feel I need to sometime before the exp date. Idk what to think.

    I'm a 15 year old myself. I would want my mom to confront me about it if this ever happened to me, although I wouldn't say that to her face. Just take a couple of the diet supplement things and confront her about them, but take it easy don't get mad at her. Ask her why she was taking them, tell her she is beautiful just the way she is. Why she would be wanting losing more weight when she is already bullied for being skinny is beyond me. High school is just four years of a persons lifetime. It will be over before she knows it and she most likely won't talk to anyone again.

    I think you should confront her, if she is already very thin and is trying to become even more thin she may have an eating disorder. I would get her help before it is too late. I had depression, and I kept making excuses for it and before long it was too late and I began cutting, finally I got help but it caused a lot of problems. Help her now, rather than later.

    I know some may think I should and am already getting her help but she flys off the handle if I ask her anything that's going on. She has 1-2 more years left thankfully. We are working on getting her graduated early here in my area

    If she has been taking them you need to confront her immediately. Do it in a calm fashion. Sit her down and ask her why she's been taking them and what makes her think she needs them. You need to let her know they are extremely dangerous, especially since she is under weight and so young. She needs to know that she needs to live a healthy lifestyle and not one filled with dangerous pills.

    I wish someone had done this for me early on.

    Is this even a real question? My mother would have been all over my @ss, and rightly so BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT MOTHERS ARE SUPPOSED TO DO!!!! For pete's sake!

    Edit: You let your child be in charge because she "flys off the handle"? She has trained you well.

    You obviously have to confront her but don't threaten her so she doesn't feel like she has to hide anything from you , be understanding but also do your job as a mother
