i think you sould tell her that you don't want her to end up dieing and tell her you mean a lot to her then tell her if she doesn't start to eat that you will tell an adult. or you could also try and get her 2 tell an older family member or friend
hope all turns out well :)

I would just be like,"____, you're my friend and I care about you alot. I mean I know your body, your privacy butbeing anorexic is not the way to solve anything. Have you seen how Mary-kate Olsen and Lindsay Lohan looked in the magazines? All boney and stuff? And I don't want you to look like that.. and it's very bad for you! You're starving you're body! And I'd seriously suggest telling an adult.. because if you won't ; I will. If you're not going to do it for yourself.. please..do it for me, and everyone else that cares about you and your health." Or something like that. And then I'd suggest listing her some places where she can go and get help!! I hope everything works out for you and especially your friend =) Hope I helped!!
Love,

tell her that if she doesnt do it soon, she could die from lack of nutrients. and if you really care about her, you should tell an adult yourself.

U tell an adult right away and tell her she is hurtin herself you know she can die from that im really sorry to say what she is doing is stupid if you don't act now she will get soooo skinny her bones will show and they will have to insert a feeding tube so she can live i know you don't want that to happen and i know you don't want her to go in to an early grave don't wait until she tells tell someone now so they can get her better ok:-) Good uck hope i helped send me feed back Bye Good luck again:-)

well this is probably a very sensitive subject but i am thinking that you should talk to her and say "you know i am your friend and friends care about each other and if caring means to solve your anorexia problem you should do that if you dont it could end up in something really bad like death. so i always want to have you around so please tell someone it doesnt have to be a parent or a teacher but just someone that can help." i hope i helped, *Kelley*

You love and care about your friend, let her know that. It's supportive to give her advice, but only if she asks for it. First, help her recognize that she has an eating disorder and tell her that she need help. Be assertive, but not aggressive. Research further on anorexia and tell her the truth, even if it's harsh and cold, she needs to hear it. Tell her what exactly she's doing to her body and what could happen, God forbid, if she continues to abuse her body. It's going to be difficult, but eventually, it'll be for the better. You're saving her life AND yourself. If she clearly emphasizes about not telling someone about this, let her know that you can't handle standing by and doing nothing about it. Again, be assertive, but not aggressive. As for telling an adult, find someone who you can trust and will be understanding. Perhaps your parents, her parents, or a counselor. They'll know what to do if you cooperate with them. As for your friend, you should be by her side every step of the way so that her recovery will be much easier. I'm sorry if I couldn't help you, but I'm a firm believer that you can't truly understand something unless you've experienced it yourself. Talking to someone who's been in your situation will help. Good luck and stay strong.

"You need to tell someone, before I do, because this is hurting you, even if you can't see it, and I care about you." Or something like.

I had a friend, we were best friends back then, that was anorexic and she never told me or her other best friend. She instead told people that she was not AS close too. The fact that your friend told you means that she wants help. Why would she tell you if she did not want help? First, sit down and talk with her. Tell her being anorexic will mess up her body and could possibly kill her. My friend has a very messed up stomach and digestive system because she was anorexic and has to see the doctor a lot now. It is your responsibility now to get your friend help. If you are scared and do not think you can just remember that her life is in your hands. Be careful because if she gets angry and she really does not want you to tell then she might lie to you and say she is not anorexic anymore. Once a person is anorexic it is very hard for them to go back. Anorexia is a disease. Please, talk to her immediately and get her help as soon as you can. The sooner she can get help...the sooner she can get over it. Also remember, no matter what you tell her she will not think she is skinny enough. Do a little research like the one advice columnist suggested and tell her what you find. If she still refuses, take matters into your own hands. It is definitely better for her to be mad at you but have help...than to be friends but be in danger. Goodluck, you might be saving a life.

I suggest you do some research on anorexia. I think you'll find lots of horrible truths about it. Be sure to tell everything you learned to your friend. If you can make her at least realize that anorexia is bad and she needs help, the rest will be a breeze.
If she still can't realize the truth, tell her you're going to tell an adult no matter what she says only because you love and care about her. So what I'm saying is, if she doesn't tell an adult, you should tell one. Don't be afraid if your friend will be angry at you. What's better? Having a friend hate you and be safe? Or having a friend love you and be at risk? Since she is your friend, I'm sure she won't "hate" you, but I only said that to make a point. Her safety and health is important.
Good luck with your friend.

Tell her that you are worried about her, and you want her to get some help. Also let her know that if she doesn't seek help, you will tell an adult yourself. Give her a week, if you don't see an improvement, talk to your parents about the problem and have them go with you to talk to her parents.
