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.

I'm having a party tonight and i dont know what games we should play. Does anyone have any suggetions. Please no dirty suggestions b/c my parents will be home!!!

There's this one game, and you play it with a ball, or an orange, or anything that can fit under your chin. You get everyone to sit in a huge circle and try to pass the ball to each other using your necks. Its hard, but fun. The person who drops the ball first looses and sits out, eventually it'll become only two people passing it to each other and the first one to drop the ball then loses, and the last one sitting wins.

Hope your party's a blast.

my best friend marissa moved to germany.i really miss her.i've known her since pre-k.we did everything together.she was like a sis to me.but what really sucks...is that before she moved we had a fight.well actually she was mad at me for somethin real stupid.i can't call her b/c i don't have her#.and i don't know if she still has her comp.but i want to apologize.please help me.what should i do?

It's tough losing someone your so close to. My friends g/f just moved to Germany, too. And he's been having a super hard time dealing with it. I know your depressed, and we all know thats never fun. So think of the good things (even though there's few, there's always something good that can happen) Most likely she'll have her computer with her and you can talk to her there. And when you do, you can get her address to send letters to her. There is a six hour time difference from America to Germany, so it would be much easier to send her a letter than try to catch her online. That way she can get it any time.

I don't have any super excellent advise on this one, but I really hope this works out for you!
