Hey It is very hard to get somone with an eating disorder to relize they are under weight. I think the best the to do would be to tell an adult. Good luck hun! -Jenny

I had the exact same problem with my best friend. Everyone knew he was gay but he just wasn't ready to tell. He eventually came out,and gained alot more respect for it. However, don't rush him into confessing anything, he'll do it eventually if he IS gay, it's not an easy thing for someone to come out and say. The best thing you can do is continue to be his friend, stick up for him when someoen calls him gay (EVEN IF YOU AGREE) and eventually he'll come out, when HE'S ready. We forced my friend too, and it's something I regret a whole bunch looking back on. Just don't hassle him about it...like I said, he'll come out some day, that is, if he's gay...he could just be feminine?

Yeah, most people with eating disorders deny it. You should try to talk to her about it again, though, before she does some permanant damage [[ if she hasn't already ]]. Make sure you're there for her when she needs you, and try not to get angry with her. If she won't get help // tell someone, you should tell an adult that you can trust .. her parents, a school counselor, etc. Hopefully she'll get some help soon. Good luck! :o)

well i think that its right that u care for her enuff to share ur feelings.. but wen u tell her trii to scare her a lil bit.. because sumtimes its best to scare the crap out of ppl to make them relize what there doing is rong. wen u confront her jus sit down wit her and tell her that she needs to get help 4 her problem and whats shes doing is rong.. and at first she mite not admitt it but tell her that urs and hers frend ship is soo strong that u wood never want to loose her over a horbile deisase that she gave herself. i hope i helped and remember its never rong to confrumt any one to help them out with thier problems!

She might be suffering from anorexia...YOU NEED to talk to anyone that can help her! I suggest you ask your mom to talk to her mom about it! The sooner, the better! I've had many friends, who suffered from anorexia, and they've been treated! BTW, people who have eating disorders often deny that they do. Hope I helped! Please rate me!

You can't really make "her" realize it because she won't see that she has a problem. What you need to do is contact her parents or her guardians and they will help her. Or you could get some information on it and see what you could do.

tell her that she really means a lot to you as a friend and youd be really sad if you ever lost her or felt like you could risk losing her.. maybe you and her other friends could all sit her down and tell her how you really feel about it and offer to take her somewhere where she could get help and go with her.. hope it works out

i think u should tell her that u guys need to talk, and then tell her that there are all sorts of other ways to lose weight besides threwing up ur food, tell her that there are all sorts of healthy ways of going on a diet, and that u think it would be good if she got help before it gets worse, and u really care about her and u wouldn't be doing this for her if u didn't care.

well, if things get any worse, you need to tell an adult. preferably her parents or your mom or something because this needs to stop. she could be in real danger right now. this is not your fault if your thinking that, but i think you should really tell a adult or someone close to her like an older sister or a older friend of hers. maybe you could talk her out of it. confront her even if you have to pin her to the ground.. you need to tell her how you feel. suggest a near advice cousiler or something to atleast try to get her to talk! hope this works!
love,

show her what a regular sized girl should look like. Then tell her that a normal weight is more attractive then a thin gaunt weight. The reason behing eating disorders is never food. It is usually some emotional problem or low self esteem, if she seems to be very low self confident, you can bet she has an eating disorder. Tell her a little white lie like you went to a counsoler and it was just great to talk to someone, make her want to talk to someone too.

Show her that she has a eating disorder becuase most of the time ppl like that try and hide it and say they dont and if she dosent listen tell your parents ( they will know what to do ) or just tell a doctor or something
she will forgive you for this later
Love Ashley , plz rate me

TO: i think my friend has a eating disorder.
if you think she has a problem...go talk to someone about it who could talk to her for her... you could definitely help her by letting her parents noe..thah way they can take her for a check up and see how she it..ya noe?

okay..i had the same problem..only i was the one with the eating disorder..friends tried to help..but i only denied it..i didnt like how my body looked..i hated it..but now, i regret that all..just becuz of how your body looks doesnt mean you need to hurt your body..im thinking you should tell someone older..or at least sit down and talk to her..tell her that you care..and so does alot of other people..and she doesnt need to do that, i hope this helps=)
]
show her things that can happen read books on bulimia and stuff tell her the possibilities of what can happen and maybe she'll stop

heh its funny because i do the same thing.. =/ it myte just hurt her feelings if u tell a cousler behind her back..

you really should definitly let her know that you care for her and her health and that if she goes for help she can get better, and let her know youll be there with her if she needs that, she wont wanna do it alone shell probably deny it for a while eventually she will give in because shes gonna get really sick if she doesnt get help and being anorexic is a serious disease and I hope that she gets the help and gets better, let her know that she is putting herself in danger by doing this she isnt only affecting you and others but shes fdefinitly affecting herself
