I like fairies (thus why I am wearing fairy wings in the picture). Good grammar rocks, too. It doesn't have to be perfect but I get frustrated when people completely disregard it. I like every color except pink. I hate the wind. Sometimes, I carry around a little teddy bear I found at an antique store. His name is Robert. I dress very eccentrically. It's not unusual for me to wear a prairie dress one day and a Mod dress (think Austin powers) the next. I don't dye my hair, or wear much make-up. I think it's sad that no one puts any emphasis on natural beauty anymore. I think it's a good thing to be open and educated about sex and other issues that are considered taboo. I have a hard time seeing where homophobics are coming from.
Basically, I'm just some weird teenager in Arizona. If I haven't scared you off already, feel free to drop me a line. -Danielle

Ok so i have this really close friend she is probably my best friend. And she is like alittle pudgie but in a cute way (not fat at all!) And we try new wacky diets all the time just for fun; like eat something every three hrs. we never stick with it but its just fun. anyway so her parent kept on saying that she's not eating enough and she's throwing it up or whatever, more as like a joke not serious and she would joke it off too. but yesterday she told me that she really was throwing it up, but she siad she did research and found out you can die and whatnot she she claims to have stopped (for 3 days) and she made me promise not to tell anyone. but im so scared for her and i have no clue what to do, and the scaring part is all the signs people say to look for if someone does have an eating disortor arent there. what should i do? and i know people say you should tell someone, but it isnt as easy as it looks (link)

I know it's not easy, but you really should tell her parents. She might hate you for it, but it's in her best interests. You're not being cruel by telling them, you're just trying to help a friend. Bulimia is a serious problem and can be harder to shake off than anorexia because the human body becomes adjusted to not digesting food and then it becomes really hard to stop throwing it all up. The body, consequentially, gets no nutrients and the person's health leaves them, and their teeth start to decay from the constant immersion of stomach acid. Do you want this to happen to her? I wouldn't think so. The only way she will get help for sure is if her parents know. Tell them as soon as possible, or have your parents tell hers if you really can't handle the pressure. Either way, they need to know.
