I just met a girl named Lindsay this year we're not very close but we still talk. We went to the consession stand and she just bought a water. I told her she needs to eat..but she says she doesn't eat lunch. She told me that she hasn't eaten lunch or breakfast since the 6th grade and we're in the 9th now. She also told me that she takes diet and energy pills over the counter..which is really bad. She wants to be 100lbs and she's like 120 right now and she's about 5'3 or something..which is healthy I guess. She also told me her parents don't notice or care..but I don't beleive that. I'm afraid this might lead to anorexia or some other serious disorder..but she said she wouldn't..again I don't beleive that. I don't know what to do..every time I tell her to change she's like "What are you my mom!?". What should I do?

Sherry answered Monday November 15 2004, 4:49 pm: Say no I'm not your mom but you need to eat because I care for you! Explain to you that you care and love her (as a friend I guess) and that you dont want her to get sick. Tell her shes perfect the way she is. And ask her to eat. if she doesnt I'd tell an adult. Its really bad just to eat one meal a day. [ Sherry's advice column | Ask Sherry A Question ]
