Well, the best way to go not to mess up your teeth or loose hair is to excercise and eat right. Being bulimic will cause you a lot more damage than gain, and if done for long enough can cause permanent damage to your stomach and throat, since you're causing one of the most powerful acids on earth to rise up. Bulimia is not healthy, ESPECIALLY for someone so young. Excercise, find something you like to do like bike, swim, dance, do it for 28 days and it'll become a habit. Then you'll loose your weight in a healthy matter that won't scare your family and friends, and create healthy habits for life.

Purging and making yourself sick is both physically and mentally harmful. It's a dangerous cycle of abuse that creates shame and internal conflicts. Repeatedly getting sick can deplete your body of necessary electrolytes like sodium and potassium and in extreme cases can cause cardiac anomalies and even death.
Getting sick to lose weight can leave you dehydrated and if you go too long without food, your body goes into starvation mode and clings on to every calorie it gets. You might end up actually gaining more weight than you intended.

There are plenty of great tasting, affordable, and nutritional weight loss programs that feature replacing a meal with a drink or a shake that can help you lose weight faster than making yourself sick.
Ultimately, getting on a balanced weight loss routine will help you lose weight and keep it off instead of having to resort to getting thin quick schemes that cause more harm than good.
Whatever you decide to do to lose weight fast, making yourself sick should not be one of them. It's all about being balanced.
