Theres a girl at my school (not my friend but i talk to her) and her boyfriend recently broke up with her. She's heart broken and feels that she isn't good enough. Now she wont eat..shes refusing to eat and its scaring everyone. She is dropping pounds by the second and is always depressed. I really want to help her, but I don't know her family personally enough to tell them. Should I let her suffer? i would feel wrong not telling anyone.

Hope i helped! [ feverdancer03's advice column | Ask feverdancer03 A Question ]

gp4l answered Saturday April 2 2005, 6:16 pm: listen this is a serious problem that your friend is going through...i am so glad that you are trying to help her dont let her just suffer because no girl deserve to suffer like that over some stupid ass, selfish, uncaring, no good for nothing little ass boy..now sice you dont know her parents that we'll thats not a help but i dont think it would be a good idea to tell her parents anyway..you need to have a long talk with her matter of fact i care so much about this cause it hits close to home for me so email me at danumba1brat@msn.com and we can talk about it more cause it might not be enough for you to just tell her since she might think you dont understand cause trust me she might not listen to you... but all in all just talk to her about it and let her know that that your there for her..let her know she can do better...and let her know that even though shes hurting now and she might not think its gonna be ok tell her that it is..tell her that there is people that care about her and dont wanna see her going through this...i hope i helped [ gp4l's advice column | Ask gp4l A Question ]
Laura_Ashanti answered Saturday April 2 2005, 5:26 pm: I think you should tell a guidance counselor - but talk to her about it first. Obviously, if you know her well enough to know shes anorexic which is a pretty private thing, she needs your help! I would feel wrong not telling anyone, too if I was in your situation. Think of the consequences if you DONT tell anyone, but then think of how much you'll be helping her if you get her help and be there for her. You dont have to be the closest to someone to care about them enough to save them from a huge mistake. ♥ Laura [ Laura_Ashanti's advice column | Ask Laura_Ashanti A Question ]
ballerina04 answered Saturday April 2 2005, 5:23 pm: Do not, under any circumstances, let her suffer! Someone needs to be told. She could get seriously hurt herself by what she's doing. Tell a teacher at school, a guidance counselor, or an adult you know can do something. Even if you don't know her family personally, her parents need to be notified. Best wishes. ♥ Kristen [ ballerina04's advice column | Ask ballerina04 A Question ]
