Though really, starving to death sounds pretty terrible

Believe it or not, at that age it isn't a terrible way. Stomach will not hurt after too long, since your body will stop producing acid and shunt blood away from your digestive system and once you really start getting into muscle catabolism you're already frail enough that it'll kill your heart fast.
