Look, there's no reason for you to hate yourself over that. Here, in my country, it's a pretty common illness, so i'm always hearing doctors talking about it.
Their firts advice it to eat more milk-based products, which have calcium, and also things with vitamin d (calcium needs vitamin d to be absorbed) - tuna, cod fish, saumon, oysters, some cereals, milk-based products (cheese, butter, margarine, enriched milk, etc). To make vitamin d work, you have to catch sun, because it helps it fix your bones.

I hope this helps! :) *

Thanks for the advice but just to think that I have to live from age 14 to whenever with osteoporosis and as you grow older it gets worst im scared of what i'll turn out to be when im older. Thamks for the help though I didnt know you had to catch some sun for it to do some good thanks ill keep it in mind
