Q: So.. my friend, whom we'll call stacy, and her boyfriend, whom we'll call sean is what this is about i think. Not so much with sean..but i could be wrong. Stacy for the past 2 months, i just found out has been throwing up her food , and lately she can't hold it down..its a natural thing now, and because she does this, she cuts herself, and cutting herself makes her eat..its a vicious cycle. She wants to tell her mom, but her pregnant sister ran away and her mom is under a LOT of stress, so she doesn't want to put that load on top of it. She knows she has a problem, and i want to help her. But i know i can't do it by myself, she's stubborn. Would it be okay to talk to our schools couselor about this? thanx for any thing you can help w/. Oh, and where sean comes in, i think she's throwing up because of him, she thinks she's too fat? or something maybe? i hope not because he isnt like that. but plz help me. I'm the only one she's told about the cutting

First of all, she obviously trusts you to have told you these things. And it's the first step for her to realize that it is a problem. Stuff like this is impossible to give an answer that will work for every situation, but in this case, talking to your school counselor is a WONDERFUL idea! And you're right, you can't do this by yourself, and neither can she. So the most important thing is to be there for her, and support her in trying to overcome this. You are obviously VERY mature, that is clear by the way you are trying to handle this situation. But stay in there! You might want to read up on other cases like your friend's on the internet or in health magazines for more advice.I must say this, however, THIS WILL NOT BE EASY! But I promise that it will be worth it. Her revealing this to you is a way of her asking for help. Turning away would be the worst thing to do, but you already know that...otherwise you wouldn't have asked.
Just don't give up, and don't let her give up either. Best of Luck!

I'm a very openminded person who loves to have fun and figure things out. I guess you could say I am a "deep thinker" because I actually enjoy thinking about the kind of things that no one else will mention because they're afraid of offending someone. I hope to one day, for at least a while, be an Advice Columnest for a large Newspaper or Magazine. And I figure, what could be a better way to learn how, and be truly comfortable with it then doing it?
I'm not here to judge you, I don't care if what you believe in isn't exactly the most widely accepted, or what your sexual preference is or anything like that. The only reason I'm here is to give advice.So ask me any kind of question, I am not specific on any particular topic, and then I'll tell you what I think.
Or, if you would prefer, you can e-mail me at Bekhales@yahoo.com
