Ok my friends a girl but shes just a friend and she says that she is really fat but shes really not like shes really skinny. And she says shes on diets and stuff like that, how can i make sure that she wont like hurt herself or anythin bad?
Seeing as I don't know the girl in question, I can't really say whether this is a serious situation, or the mere case of some compliment hunting, but if even you're not sure, I'd simply talk to her about it.
If at some point you find out that she is doing something to hurt herself, and has an eating disorder, or is using a bogus diet that lacks nutrition, I'd consult someone older about this. She might get mad at you, but if something of concern is happening, it's always the best idea to tell someone like a school counseler or a parent, and let them deal with the situation as it needs be.

If she doesn't listen, talk to her parents or yours. You shouldn't have to take full responsability. Let an adult handle it. I don't know how old you are so this advice could be useless to you....but I hope I helped!!

xomegaroni answered Thursday August 11 2005, 5:01 pm: the best thing to do is talk to her about it and tell her your concerned. theres alot of stuff she can do to watch her weight, but its not totally a diet either. you can actually help her by telling her better ways to lose weight, the healthy way. she needs to sleep at least 9-10 hrs every night, make sure she eats breakfast, and all 3 meals w/ 3 snacks inbetween, healthy 1s. that may seem like alot but if you eat every so often, it helps your metabolism. she also needs to exersize. maybe if she thinks she really DOES need to lose this weight, at least you're telling her the healthy way to do it. if you don't want her dieting at all, tell her how you feel.
