Hi, we think you should try not to get hung up about whether you have an eating disorder or not.  It is important to try to eat breakfast, and if you don't think you have time to eat at home before school either get up earlier (!that's a mean one, isnt it?) or maybe have a cereal bar on the way to school.  It's quite common to be anxious about eating in front of people and to avoid doing it, but it does often man that you don't get enough nutrition in the day.  Our suggestions are, try to eat breakfast, have snacks at break times, and have a good snack when you get home from school, and then have your tea/dinner later on with your family.  We hope that helps.
