Question Posted Saturday September 3 2005, 4:43 pm

So this girl I'm not friends w/ anymore got REALLY SKINNY and she thinks she needs to lose a couple more pounds when she's really tall and is like 20 lbs under weight!!! Her friends (that I'm still friends w/) tell me that she hasn't been eating much anymore and I'm worried about her but I don't want to get involved in it bc technically it's none of my business since I ended the friendship (although the girl doesn't seem to realize this) And her friend told me that a bunch of people tried talking to the girl's mom about her not eating and her mom didn't do anything about it. We're all concered but aren't obsessing over it yet. What should my role in this be? Should I stay out of it or should I talk to her about it???

hum..well ive had the same problem..okay it was like 2 summers ago that i didnt eat like nething..not because i thought i was fat and i needed to loose wait it was some medical problem or sumthing like my body couldnt take that much food and i would get sick if i ate to much so i was afraid 2 and i lost like 20 lbs and it was NOT fun all my friends like forced me to eat and they asked me like if i could eat one thing what would it be and they would go get it for me and i would eat it...and my friend had a simalir prob i would tell her that she needs to eat its very unhealthy for you and if she didnt eat i would force it down her thought so she better eat it.. you deffinatly should talk to your friend about it and tell her you love her and you never want anything bad to happen to her and you are saying this to help her

Even if you ended your friendship with her it doesnt mean that you cant get involed. Try to talk to her. Sit her down and express how you feel about her situation. Dont tell her that she needs to stop amd start eating again because thats just going to get her angry. Just tell her that your really worried about her and you want the best for her. Tell her you'll be by her side and if she needs anybody to talk to your there for her. Just see why she is not eating . Give her compliments like "Your looking really nice" " You look amazing!" give her confidence.You never know. and if that doesnt help after a couple of weeks then you will have to talk to her mother about it if it gets even more serious.

Maybe you should talk to the school counselor. I'm not sure what you should do, considering I don't know the reason as to why you ended the friendship.

talk to her...cuz obviously if you are worried about her you still consider her your friend and you care about her..it was ur mistake for ending the frienship and you should step up to the plate and see whats wrong with her

Talk to her about it. Tell her that how you feel about the whole idea of her not eating. She's obviously sick, maybe not to the point of annerexia, but she's still sick if she's 20 pounds underweight, and still dropping pounds. It's VERY unhealthy. Something like this could cause her to be hospitalized at any given day. I think you should really talk to her. We have so many of these teenage girls now feeling so pressured to be as skinny as a model. They don't have to be, and neither does she. These girls are looking for attention, and then they don't know when enough is enough. You can talk to her and let her know how bad this is for her.You could be the one she listens to. You never know. So I say go ahead and talk to her.

You should stay out of it and have a friend of yours convince her that she doesn't need to lose more weight and that she looks fine the way she is.Your role is to just check up on her to see that she is not starving herself but you don't have to do anything else you have no obligation what so ever.

I would definitly talk to her about, and tell her the honest truth, be like " i know i ended our friendship but i am getting really worried about your weight" and just tell her whats on your mind, maybe after you can bring her to a restaurant and make her pig out =P hehe. But seriously dont just stay out if it, talk to her. Becuz my mom works for a doctor and she told me if you dont eat alot and you are that much underweight, there are alot of bad things that can happen. Tell her that its not good to just not eat, and make sure to tell her that by not eating you are getting fatter becuz your stomach with bloat with air, so rather than not eating, eat healthy. I hope this helped, and keep me posted after you talk to her ok =)..*I hope for the best*
