i think my sister is anorexic or bulimic....idk what to do tho bc every time i ask her about it, she just denys it, but all of her friends tell me she is, what should i do?!
xOtWiXi answered Sunday April 10 2005, 1:34 pm: If your sister says no, and her friends say yes.. I'd believe your sister. Her friends might be jealous on her looks or if she's very skinny and doesn't eat alot. She might have a fast metabolism. Talk to your sister and observe her habits. If you see her not eating alot, throwing up, gagging herself, etc.. then tell someone like a parent, or try talking to her about her problem first, because it's not healthy and she could die from it. But before assuming, don't listen to her friends, find out the truth for yourself. If you need anything, just message me. Hope I've Helped ♥ [ xOtWiXi's advice column | Ask xOtWiXi A Question ]

But sometimes theses things happen when there is a problem!! Try figuring out from her friends if something has happened!! If they don't know or u do Try asking how she feels about it and stuff. Write me back on how things go...Hope I helped

Breanna_Marie answered Sunday April 10 2005, 9:11 am: First of all, can you tell that her wheight is going down? before you assume that she is anerexic, you should probably reaserch it online and see what are the kinds effects can happen to people when they do become like that. Also maybe you should tell your parents about it. tell them that you have been noticing some changes! and at dinner time, watch her eat, does she pick at it?, take a little bite and make up excuses like "i had a big lunch" or somthing like that!

sunshine1232 answered Sunday April 10 2005, 8:17 am: you should tell your sister that she could tell you anything even if it is bad and you should also tell her that you are always there when she does need to tell you something maybe that will make her tell you what is going on with her maybe she just needs somebody to talk to maybe she is anorexic or bulimic and maybe she doesn't want ot tell you because maybe she thinks you are going to get mad at her she will have to tell you evenually because she will feel guity and then she will just tell out of nowhere maybe get one of her friends to ask her again and if that doesn't work then get your parents involved or if that doesn't work then go to a counslor at your school and talk to him or her.

Also, you can talk to someone who specializes in that area to ask for advice. Once again, the internet can be used.. Maybe you can e-mail or contact someone or just find someone locally.
If your sister really doesn't open up, don't force her. By forcing her, you're just making her close up to you, no matter how weird it sounds.. ^__^;
Don't act like there's anything weird about it... Just act like you acted before.. Accept her for who she is.. Gradually compliment her.. But don't make it so obvious.. Just let her know that you're there if she needs you.. Let her know that she can lean on you..
Slowly, she will realize that you guys really care for her and desire only the best for her..

If she knows she can trust you to not tell your parents then she will let you help her out. Just try and get her to see that she doesnt have to be anorexic or bulimic to be skinny or accepted! Some times its because people get depressed about themselves that they start throwing up and not eating.
