(I'm picky, doj't know if its a disorder Just 30 minutes ao, We were eating. I said I'd try it,the only thing she gave me Was the food they like, I've been sick for 1 week, and are feeling better. I havedn't ate as much since it. they suggest new food, I try it, MOSTLY like it, eat a couple of it, Start feeling an after taste, hate it. Then they make me sit there for 30 minutes till they give up. I here them laughing at the TV, and if I say anything they get all pissed and chew me out. This has happened for 2 years. They claim they've babied me since I was 2, and Im 11. What will I do, they call me a 2 year old, I've had 2 abusive fathers and she still yells at me.

My advice is to just talk to them. Tell them what foods you like, and make sure you tell them which veggies and fruits you like. Just because they appear mean on the surface, doesn't make them wrong. I hated my parents at 11, so what you are experiencing is normal. If having to eat a dinner you don't like and parents yelling are the worst of things, you still have it pretty good. Try to be more receptive to new foods. Don't go in assuming it will be gross. Sometimes, the foods we like best aren't great for us. Sometimes, you eat something you don't like, as a way of showing thanks to your family members who do like them.
My advice would be that you should at least try everything before saying you don't like it, and if you don't like it be polite about it, but say what, specifically, you don't like about it. Throwing a fit about food doesn't make anybody sympathetic to you.

Like Darkprimus, said, you cannot know what you like or don't like unless you try them. Does your 30 item things you can eat list include vegetables and fruits?
There are also actual differences between different peoples ability to taste in general::

Theres also normal tasters (most people) and non-tasters (people that have a lessened sense of taste). Not all picky eaters are supertasters but it might be something worth investigating.
Regardless, its worth trying things at least once or twice every couple of years as you get older.
If you just sit there and say "No!" then they are going to be more frustrated than if you try and work with them to fix your problem.
As people above have noted, as you get older your tastebuds change, so you can stand more bitter and strong tasting foods than you can as a child. As you enter your teenage years you may notice that things you previously found disgusting are not so bad any more. So don't put something permanently off the menu because it was disgusting when you were 8.
If you really can't fix it through trying, you can ask your parents to explain the problem to your doctor. There are therapists who specialize in picky eating. It is a surprisingly common issue.
