How do you cope with your parents who make your depression worse?

...See more I’ve really been struggling with my depression. My parents don’t notice or deny that I’m depressed. In fact, they’re harder on me when they notice how I am now. They’re pushing me past my limit and I’m not sure how to cope with it. Does anyone have advice?
How to help my little sister who has an eating disorder?

...See more My little sister is 11 years old and I believe she has an eating disorder. She has been eating less and less since August/September and has lost [weight edited by 24Help1] pounds in 4 months. She won't eat meat and will only eat salad for lunch/dinner and cereal for breakfast. She's very moody and aggressive when I try to talk to her and she isn't usually like this. She gets defensive and angry when I try to get her to eat more. My little sister used to eat so much and especially loved meat! Now she won't even touch meat and will push it to the side of her plate. She only eats a quarter of what she used to. She watches food ASMR to satisfy her hunger and every time she looks in the mirror, she lifts up her shirt to look at her stomach and says she is fat (when she is not). Whenever I change my clothes, she always looks at my body (she might be comparing?). A lot of her friends are really skinny so I think by being with them, she might've gotten the idea that she must be skinny like them. She is so pale and thin that it's scary and I am so terrified for her. I want to help her so badly but whenever I try to talk to her or show my support for her she pushes me away. I can't get through to her. How can I help my little sister? I want to help her so badly!!
