does anemia cause leukemia?
i have anemia, i am only 14, and i dont wanna tell my parents because they are too old and i am afraid that they will suffer, i have been getting really tired during class and all times, also have been getting neck pain that makes me not be able to move my neck from 10 up to 30 seconds. i have gotten so far 5 bruises in the past 2 weeks but then again i never kno or remember when i bruise myself. I also get back pain, i am very pail and barely eat anything... my friend told me that it might be a sign of leukemia because her cousin had anemia and then started having all the same symptoms i have, and they found out that she had leukemia, so please if anyone knows of me possibly having it

No. It doesn't.
- neither.
Leukemia is also Anemia, there is lots of types of Anemia. I have Advanced Anemia, and i think you have too because i have those things. It's not really something important to effect your life, just watch yourself.
By the way, how do you know you are Anemia? Did you went to doctor? If no, you better go because it may be an another bad disease.

I have Anemia and leukemia, you could just have anemia that makes you very tired, you need to talk with your parents, since you are 14 years old, I bet your parents are between 45 and 50and you think that is old? it isn't believe me.Tell your parents that you need to see a Doctor.

Anemia is a red blood cell deficiency, while leukemia is a blood cancer mainly involving white blood cells. Chances are your friends cousins two conditions were unrelated as far as causing the other goes. Also, start taking daily iron supplements for your anemia.
Even so, you should be going for yearly physical exams and blood tests to ensure you don't develop anything else. My mom missed her doctors appointment one year, and the year after when she went in, she found out her cancer cells had changed. Just make sure you're going reguarily and tell your doctor about any concerns you may have.

Anemia does not cause leukemia. Being easily bruised and being tired and pale are all symptoms of anemia. You should go to the doctor and get on iron supplements. The fact that you "barely eat anything" sounds like you might also be struggling with an eating disorder?
Odds are extremely low that you have cancer. Leukemia can cause anemia, but a simple blood test would show if you have too many white blood cells (the main symptom of leukemia).
