So this girl I'm not friends w/ anymore got REALLY SKINNY and she thinks she needs to lose a couple more pounds when she's really tall and is like 20 lbs under weight!!! Her friends (that I'm still friends w/) tell me that she hasn't been eating much anymore and I'm worried about her but I don't want to get involved in it bc technically it's none of my business since I ended the friendship (although the girl doesn't seem to realize this) And her friend told me that a bunch of people tried talking to the girl's mom about her not eating and her mom didn't do anything about it. We're all concered but aren't obsessing over it yet. What should my role in this be? Should I stay out of it or should I talk to her about it???

Talk to her about it. Tell her that how you feel about the whole idea of her not eating. She's obviously sick, maybe not to the point of annerexia, but she's still sick if she's 20 pounds underweight, and still dropping pounds. It's VERY unhealthy. Something like this could cause her to be hospitalized at any given day. I think you should really talk to her. We have so many of these teenage girls now feeling so pressured to be as skinny as a model. They don't have to be, and neither does she. These girls are looking for attention, and then they don't know when enough is enough. You can talk to her and let her know how bad this is for her.You could be the one she listens to. You never know. So I say go ahead and talk to her.
