I need help with my friend.


Question Posted Wednesday October 5 2005, 7:07 pm

One of my best friends thinks she fat when she's really not and she says she on a diet. When I asked her though if she was on a starvation diet, she said "Next subject please." That tells me she needs help. I don't know what I should do though. I'm really worried about her. Should I tell someone even though she made me promise not to?

Thanks! I rate high! =]

Love, Brittany

You could try talking to her about it first. Starvation diets do not work! The next meal you eat you'll gain the weight back. So tell her she should eat all 3 meals a day but try not to snack on things and not to drink pop and just the basics. Hope this helps!!! ♥

watch her eating habits
if everytime she eats she goes to the bathroom or has to take some kind of pills, do tell someone.
she could be really hurting herself and in the end, she'll love you more than ever.
but make sure that you are always there for her. make sure she knows that she can talk to you no matter what.and that she is most important.

Don't tell anyone until you are completely sure of your suspicions. Do some research before you accuse her of this, because it probably will make her mad.

personally i think you should tell someone. maybe not another friend but the school counsellor. they will know what to do! you dont have to mention names, but you could just say i have a friend who...and tell them the story and ask what you should do. if you're really worried you could get them to talk to your friend, but that can result in your friend getting mad at you! (it's happened to me!)
anyways, another idea is to ring up one of those help lines and ask for their advice, they are trained counsellors on the other end of the line!
hope it helps

It sounds to me like she just wants a lot of attention and she likes it when popele say, "nono, your not fat, your skinny!" You should just stop bothering her about it and she will realize its not a good way to get attention.

If shes still not eating right after a week, its important for her to get help. Tell an adult your comfortable with. Also tell her what shes doing is scaring you because she needs to understand that doing this affects everyone.

Even if she hates you because you broke a promise, you know that you were a true friend and you were really helping her:-)

You should definitely tell someone even if she gets mad at you. Its better to tell someone if you really care about her because thats what a friend should do for another friend. After you tell someone, you should talk to her about it. Tell her your worried about her and that it scares you the way she's acting. You really do need to tell someone because anorexia and bulimia are very serious problems that shouldn't go unnoticed. Hope I helped and if you need anything else feel free to send me a message. <3 Vanna
