Maybe give some free advice about: Illnesses?
you should tell an adult. they will get her the help she needs. this is a scary situation because you're scared of losing a friend if you tell but you're also scared she may die. you should show your friends tapes about anerexia. if she's not eating her body won't get the proper nutrients and that will cause it to feed on the other things in her body. she would become weak and very sick. the red bull doesn't help either because that has way too much caffine. get her immediate help because she might not eat than she might work out like 7 hours straight and it would harm her so bad you would faint etc.

i will try to make it easier for you. tell somebody. an adult that can get her help. she needs it and she might actually want it even though she didnt stop when you asked her. you are definatley doing the right thing for your best friend even if she is not happy with you for a while. but youre her best friend so live up to that job and do what you can to bring her through this.(telling somebody)i wish you both the best of luck. and some strength too. you both could probally use that too.

You definately need to tell her parents, they need to know. She can REALLY hurt her body if she keeps not eating. She needs help. Once you tell her parents hopefully they'll bring her to the doctor's and she can get the right treatment. She'll probably need to go to a nutritionist, and maybe a counselor too.
Hope I helped!

Dear concerned,
You sound like a great friend. And very brave to boot. What you have described is an eating disorder.
- she only eats in front of groups.
- she is not eating at other times
- she is drinking energy drinks
- she is always tired.
- she desperately wants to lose weight.
Unfortunately for her, what she is doing is starving her body. When you starve your body, what your body does is rebel. It begins to hold onto every single ounce of nutrition it can get. She will not lose weight in this way, nor will she get the energy her body is fighting to get. That is why most healthy diets urge people to eat a lot of small meals during the day.
You are right to be concerned, even afraid, for your friend. She needs help....today. I would tell your mom and perhaps your mom can discuss it with your friend's mom. But please, do as your conscience is urging you to do. Tell an adult. She has a true friend in you.
Good luck to you and to your friend.

I would tell a parent or somebody else older that could take care of the situation! But make sure that adult or whoever doesn't come off too strong or else it might make her rebel even more and continue to starve herself! Make sure that person comes off more as friendly rather than a parent!
♥ Always,

Yes tell an adult, this might sound weird but if you watch lizzie mcguire, there is an episode like this about maranda, she thinks shes fat and yada yada yada, well she ends up so weak she cant even walk. lol. So please tell an adult or else your friend might end up like this. If you do this, it will reflect on how much you care for your friend. I hope everything will be alright! xoxo BLONDE911

Yesss tell someone before she kills herself..This could lead to like anorexia or something...

You definetly need to tell her mom.She needs help with an eating disorder and she probably won't listen to you anyway.She may be mad at first, but once she gets help she will see that you were only helping.Telling is the best thing to do.

Mk, it's obvious your friend is pretty set on her decision. Talk to a guidance counselor, or one of her parents, or yours and they can talk to her parents, either way tell somebody. I was the same way a while back I refused to eat and I exercised alot. I had gained like 2 pounds, and I saw them..nobody else did, but I did, and it freaked me out. If she doesn't stop, she can really hurt herself. Just be sure to talk to some type of authority figure...She's lucky to have a friend that cares as much as you do! I hope she realizes that...Much Love!!
