Well I am rather artistic. I like drama,dance and literature. I'm working on a novel right now nd have several other ideas. I also like stuff like readng and sports. Soccer is my favorite. Though what I love to do is give out advice. I'm good at it too and anyone can come to me for advice about anything. My favorite sections are listed for giving out advice, but I enjoy answering any type of question.

a friend of mine has an eating disorder. its not anorexia or bulimia or anything like that. she eats, but very little. and when she gets stressed out it makes her stomach hurt. and then she makes herself throw up. i have yelled at her about it and stuff because shes lost over 20 pounds since christmas and its totally unhealthy. she claimes she is just fine, but i know thats total bullshit. i really respect our friendship, and i dont want to ruin it by telling someone who could help her. i know it could help her and would really pay off, but i've been in her position. not with eating, but i was cutting and told my so-called friend, and she told her parents and her parents called me parents and it was a mess. and i hated her for it. but i dont want my friend to keep up this bad habbit! shes not ok! its out of control! and she wont listen to me! but if i tell someone, i might lose her! what do i do?

Well it's between losing a friendship or losing a friend, which is worse in your opinion?

I have to say that having a friend die is worse than losing a friendship. Don't you agree?

You are going to have to tell someone. Presumably her parents or your parents. Just as your friend did about your cutting. Which is probably just as bad as an eating disoder and hopefully you have stopped. Once somebody knows they will get her some help. What she's doing is dangerous and could easily kill her. They will get her medical help and even though she will very likely be totally pissed with you, she will one day thank you, I promise.

So go with the chances of losing a friendship, not a friend.

Yes, this answer was short, but there's nothing else to say. It's short yet helpful and promising. Tell someone as soon as you can.
