you cant get angry about something like that. after all she/he is a child and is obviously getting them from someone else. if your truly angry, keep it hidden from the child because that will do them no good. direct your anger in the right direction and put it to good use! find out WHY the child is taking these pills and what is behind it. they obviously need help, not an angry parent yelling at them. have a serious talk with your child and make them realize how dangerous diet pills can be.

I would be very angry with myself because there was not an open communication tween her I. If my daughter were to take ANY pills, I would much rather she ask me before acting on her own.
Now look in the mirror and you see where the error is. Then go talk to her with the same respect and concern that you expect her to show and get some something positive accomplished .

I would not be angry but not happy. It is puberty. Now if she was taking them by forging your signiture, I would be mad at her because it would be techniquely illegal drugs.

I would be very angry. If you think you are overweight then you need to eat a bit healthier and exersise more.
Nothing else will be healthy or give you effective results.

I would be angry, and ask her how she got them considering you need to be 18 to buy them, I would talk to her about why she's taking them, then telling her there are more effective ways to loose weight and teach her how to diet and exercise.

I really don't believe that would happen in my household.
As far as anger is concerned, that would be the last emotion I visited on my daughter.
When looking at this from an outsider's, (a position you put all of us in when you posed this question to all of us who are not members of the family you portray), view, I'd have to say that my first feelings would be "concern.." and "sadness," both of these because she resorted to such an act.
The mother or father in your scenario should look deeply into the emotional health of their daughter.
(Why does she feel she needs to use diet pills? Is she insecure about her body image? Is she using them as a recreational drug? Where did she get them? Did she steal them from someone or was she freely supplied these pills? Are these pills easily accessible in her house, and freely and openly used by one or both of her parents? Are they used by one of her siblings? What made this 13 year old think that her actions were OK?)
There are a slew of additional questions to ask, questions for the adults of the household to ask, questions to ask their daughter but, most importantly, questions to ask themselves.
Those adults need to take responsibility for their daughter's drug use, without a doubt! The responsibility for their 13 year old's actions remains with them.
Had your question been worded less ambiguously, I'd know whether or not you were this girl's parent, and where you wished to direct your anger.
Baring that relevant information, I'd say, if you find yourself feeling "anger," direct it at yourself. It's the only appropriate direction for your anger. (Oh, and "how angry," you should be very angry!

Well 1st I'd want to know where she got them.
Then I would NOT GET ANGRY...I would sit her down and have a really good talk about the danger of what she is doing and show her other ways to loose weight safely.
Go on a sensible eating plan with her ...exercise together etc.
Getting angry won't help anyone.

I'd be VERY angry, but after getting past the anger, I'd sit her down and explain why I'm so angry (because I love her more than life itself and want good health for her). She needs to understand that no pill is a "quick fix," and that many are actually detrimental to her health (including diet pills, depending on what she's taking). If they are prescription drugs or some other high potency drug that someone else got for her (not over-the-counter), I'd REALLY lay into her about taking such pills without a doctor's prescription or supervision, and the dangers involved. But talk to her about why she feels she needs them. Is it peer pressure? Low self-esteem? A legitimate weight problem? Then deal with the issue at hand, giving her your understanding and support. Help her work through the problem by finding an alternate solution and sticking with her in seeing it through.
My daughter is 14, and hubby and I have always had VERY open communications with her, and she knows she can talk with us about anything -- and does! Hubby hides a smirk of amusement when she shares details with us about her menstrual cycle and such things that most girls would be mortified to discuss in front of their father. To her, it's the most natural thing in the world!

The natural way to loose weight (with correct diet and exercise) is always the right way. diet pills are for the LAZY A*SES who cant get their butts off the cough and away from mcdonalds!!!!!

i would just as angry if my 2 year old grabbed something off the shelf that she wasn't supposed to.
How did she get it? Were they yours? Maybe you should have been more careful where you put it.
Did she have money and buy it at the drug store? In your presence? They probably wouldn't have let her buy it.
Did it come from her friends? I would speak to the parents of that friend.
Does she have a negative self image? Maybe she is too think already and has body image problems. She needs therapy.
Or is she really heavy and this was her last resort? does she rebound her weight loss quickly? MAybe she needs a dietician and you and her can go to the gym so you two can bond.

I would talk to her about it? obviously she is having insecurity and thinks shes fat. I would not get angry over something like that. Shes 13 and is probably bullied. Kids can be cruel, keep that in mind. It's stupid to be mad at her just because she is insecure. And besides, she probably didn't know it was not allowed.

I'd be more worried than angry. Why is she taking them in the first place? At the very least there may be some self-esteem issues that need to be dealt with.
And where is she getting them from? Most diet pills are not FDA approved and some of them can cause serious harm, especially some of the totally unregulated ones found online.
Take her to the doctor and get her checked out. Then try and be understanding and figure out what's going on with her that she's taking them. Good luck.

Not angry, just very concerned for her health and self-esteem. A 13 year old is no where near done growing and it is very unhealthy for her to be taking diet pills. She could be doing her body serious harm.

The point is to NOT to be angry but, in order to get to the root of the problem, you will need to be patient and understanding in order to determine why she was taking diet pills.
