right now she needs a friend and someone to help her get a positive attitude ]
Aww that sucks. Give her positive feedback about herself. Tell her she isn't fat and deff. tell her that she won't die. It was proven in a survey statistically that people that have cancer that think they will live, have a better chance of fighting the cancer! So her being negative, won't help. Cheer her up and try not to bring up her brother or negative things in her life unless she does and when she does, try saying positive things to her! Sorry and good luck.

She does seem like she's got it pretty hard. I don't blame her. Keep trying to make her happy and support her. Having a good, caring friend at your side at hard times always helps. She'll forget about her life for a while while she's with you. Suggest therapy and maybe you could go with her to the sessions if she wanted you to.

she looks at the glass half empty instead of half full. maybe try joining a new sport or starting a new hobbie together to keep her mid off things ]
well if she is fat try to get her motivated to try a diet. If you really want to make her happy give her a really good makeover so she can see the good things about her and how pretty she is. Release her inner beauty and help her with her outer beauty. Give her nothing but confidence. Try to say good things to her and give her alot of compliments. Go to someone you know will help at school, like some of your other friends and ask them to say to Ashleigh " i love your shirt, where did you get it?". Stuff like that will help. Tell your counselor and teacher to give her confidence and boost her self esteem!
Hope i helped

Hi Meli:
As soon as I read your question I knew I had to help so heres my advice... you should really try to think what if your Asheleigh and think if you were assuming you were fat and you were going to die what would you do? Its bad enough she has a brother that is in jail and her father has cancer an all but promise me that you will try your best to cheer Asheleigh up because it's better to have a friend arround to comfort her and know that she can come to you anytime. Let me know if this is help full.

Your friend is almost definitely suffering from either depression or an eating disorder, or possibly both. She feels that everything in her life is out of control, and the only thing she can control is how much she eats, or what she feels on the inside. I think for your friend's own need you need to tell a responsible teacher or the guidance councilor at your school, or if you want larger help I would ask your parents to contact someone who can truly help Ashleigh through this. Good luck, and I really hope "Ashleigh" feels a lot better. ]
