i think my best friend is either bulemic or anorexic. she weighs about 119 pounds, wears a size 0 jeans and she constantly goes on about how shes fat. SHE IS NOT AT ALL. she graphs her weight on a chart (i saw it) and it's REALLY starting to scare me. what should i do? talk to somebody about it, talk to her...? please help!!
You have to seek advice from somebody else. People who suffer from diseases like anorexia probably will not take you seriously and will continue to think that they need to lose weight, are fat, etc. First what you need to do is contact a helpline (these can be found in the phone book or teen magazines in the help sections). They will be able to give you better advice on what to do and how to handle the problem.
I would also advise you to either tell your parents and then get them to talk to your friends parents as this will make them take the problem more seriously if it is coming from another adult. Or, if you know them well enough, you could tell her parents yourself. Either way, her family must be notified of their daughters condition so that they can take steps to prevent it from getting further out of hand.
If you really want, you can try to talk to your friend about it, but I honestly don't think you will get through to her.
Good luck honey
