Question Posted Wednesday November 24 2004, 9:46 pm
my friend ( i just found out ) hasnt eaten in 3 days....we think she is trying 2 become anerexic...even though she is really skinny....she said she cuts herself 2...me and my friend malerie dont no wat we can do 2 help her....i offer her food but she doesnt take it....and she always seems depressed
A-reynolds-C answered Wednesday December 8 2004, 12:34 am: Tell her that without food she maybe could die! And if she wants to lose weight do it the old fashion way.. excersing and eating right! My brothers girlfriend was anerexic.. and she said it is so addictive.. until you are in the hospital all the time and hearing that you might die soon! And about the cutting... I think you should tell her parents.. or yours! She might get mad but she will later on know that it was the best and that you could have saved her life! And always try to make her happy! Do things with her that yall used to do when she was happy!
I hope this helps!

KeLsEyS_PaGe answered Tuesday November 30 2004, 9:27 pm: don't abandon her. something is wrong that she just can't cope with. help her and pray for her. it seems she is headed down a dark rode, tell her that she means so much to you and express to her that what she is doing can really hurt her future, her family, her friends, and her relationships. don't lose faith in her [ KeLsEyS_PaGe's advice column | Ask KeLsEyS_PaGe A Question ]
qotsa369 answered Sunday November 28 2004, 6:38 pm: Shes probly just trying to get attention. If she really had a problem with cutting herself then she would be trying to hide it and not show everyone. Same with the anerexic. Just tell her shes being stupid. Unless she does have a problem then tell her parents. [ qotsa369's advice column | Ask qotsa369 A Question ]
dolceXeuore answered Thursday November 25 2004, 3:17 pm: .....well maybe u shud tell a guidance counselor or a trusted adult but maybe u shud find out what shes so depressed about, like maybe its a home probalem or a guy issue maybe one day u shud sit down with her and try and figure out how to help her.

Striker6909 answered Thursday November 25 2004, 1:14 pm: well.. first of all it's anorexic.. if you think it's getting bad enough tell her parents or try to confront her with a lot of your friends without making her think that you're gaining up on her...

aNgeLxfOrEvEr answered Thursday November 25 2004, 12:25 pm: You need to tell someone before this gets out of hand! She needs you to, even though she thinks she doesn't. See if there is anything she wants to talk about, such as a problem she is having, etc. Maybe that's the cause of this? Just tell an adult, before things get worse :/ [ aNgeLxfOrEvEr's advice column | Ask aNgeLxfOrEvEr A Question ]
gUrLyGiRl0381 answered Thursday November 25 2004, 2:25 am: Ithink that is terrible :( and i will pray 4 her even though i don't kno her name but ne-wayz i think u should tell her mom or ur mom so they can talk it out with ur friend bc thatis really bad bc if she decides 2 go in 4 rehab or w/e not only will it cost a lot(if u want 2 go sum place good)
there is not a 100 percent chance she will be totally normal and stuff. especially if it keeps going on and on like Mary-Kate Olsen's did.So talk 2 either her mom or ur mom then talk 2 ur doctor bc she can get u sum info. on how it'll kill her and stuff like that.
Hope i helped!God Bless :)

PleaseHelpMe answered Thursday November 25 2004, 1:14 am: Okay, you may not want to do this but you NEED to tell an adult right away. She could kill herself one day and she needs help, like a phycotrist asap! If she gets mad at she will be happy about it later. It better her getting mad than her dying. :( [ PleaseHelpMe's advice column | Ask PleaseHelpMe A Question ]
PerkyPeacock answered Thursday November 25 2004, 12:56 am: TALK TO YOUR SCHOOL COUNSELORS OR HER PARENTS ASAP! she needs help, you know that, she knows that, so now you just need to get her the help she truly needs. please, act soon. later could be too late.

theblondeone989 answered Thursday November 25 2004, 12:14 am: It sounds to me that your friend is crying for attention, being that she TOLD you she's a cutter. None the less, it's something to be concerned about. If you've already talked to your friend about it, and she isn't acknowledging your concerns, you need to go to an adult. Yeah, she'll probably be mad...but she'll get over it, and if not...too bad, you did the right thing. [ theblondeone989's advice column | Ask theblondeone989 A Question ]
snitches6945 answered Wednesday November 24 2004, 11:14 pm: you should tell an adult about it. thats serious stuff that you shouldnt keep from someone because she can end up really hurtng herself. maybe try and talk to your school counselor or and adult you are comfortable talking to. good luck i hope you friend gets better. ~*Alexis*~ [ snitches6945's advice column | Ask snitches6945 A Question ]
DearAshley answered Wednesday November 24 2004, 11:09 pm: this is very serious. i have had the same problem with a friend. she would eat but as soon as she ate she would run to the bathroom and throw it up. she tied ropes around her waist and denied it all. i tried to help her everyway i could. u can try to talking to her about it. you could also go to her parent(s) about it. when it is something as serious as this dont wait and dont be afraid to talk to an adult about it even if it means her being mad at you. she needs help and in the long run she'll thank you soooo much. because by going to a teacher or parent then you just saved her life. and if you dont fell confortable talking to her parents talk to your mom or dad and have them talk to her parents!
hope i helped because this is very serious and i know how you feel
Perroni_X3s_you answered Wednesday November 24 2004, 11:07 pm: Well..before getting any one else involved sit down and ask her why shes doing this to herself.. and try to talk to her(shes bound to listen to a friend before an adult) but if your talk does nothing you really have to get an adult. This is a serious situation you have here.Also heres a number she can call for help:1-800-784-2433
If you need anything else..just leave one in my inbox..Happy to help

Bragg92 answered Wednesday November 24 2004, 11:00 pm: Whoah! You really need to tell our friend that this is really dangerous! Tell your friend that she won't have any friends soon. Give her a few good reasons why she needs to eat! Like...she could end up in the hospital! Taht's all the advice I have, I hope it's enough! [ Bragg92's advice column | Ask Bragg92 A Question ]
MissLicious47 answered Wednesday November 24 2004, 11:00 pm: Well theres only one thing you can do, and thats pray. The Lord will help her, and just keep trying dont give up! Make sure you explain to her that you are there for her every minute and express to her your feelings and how you feel towards her not eating, if she finds out that shes hurting you and others hopefully she will stop and do the best thing. All we can do is pray and be there for her 100% I hope i helped you in away that wil save your friend. Beause i know so many have died from this!
