heyy guys, well my one friend is really short and skinny but thinks shes "fat" (of course thats not the big problem because everyone has insecurities) but anyway she barely eats and obsesses over her weight (but she also has OCD) she takes medicine for her disorder but she wont eat her lunch at school. Well i have 4 or my closest friends and she is one of them. Right now my other close friend let it slip that the other was barely eating and her mom came to our school, and basically embarressed her by making her eat her whole lunch. Well afterward i was walking down the hall and my friends went into the bathroom to put their makeup on and found the other friend sticking her finger down her throat trying to make herself "throw up" We told my homeroom teacher who tries to fix things but doesnt. I am sooo bothered by it and I've told my friend, and we've tried everything and being patient. Its not to the point where my friend needs counceling but im afraid it will reach that point becuse she has been dropping a lot of weight and shes not even 100 pounds.(she wasn't to start with either) im sorry this is kinda long but i just dont know what to do. really any advice would pretty much help (the nice kind) and ways to help me relax would be appreciated! thanks soo much guys if you even get to this part and ill deff. rate HIGH!
xoxoxo

Sounds like your friend is starting an eating disorder. Encourage her to see a doctor and just be there for her.
Stuff like this tends to come from insecurities, so do your best to make her feel comfortable around you.
There's probably not much else you can do, in my opinion.

lets just say im in a VERY similar situation... no matter the size people come down with anarexia with is an ACTUAL desiese, not just bein "self concious" no matter the size. instead of pestering her about it, talking to her *calmly* about her eatin habits, and what she wants you guys to do, i promise it will help!
hope i helped =)

You need to inform the school nurse or consular. You need to tell them that her parents know, but she is not getting the proper help.
Friends don't let friends do that to themselves.
I have OCD, and her OCD wouldn't have anything to do with her eating disorder.
I also have a friend who had an eating disorder. She got down to 45 pounds and was hospitalized. She sat up in bed one time and her heart stopped. When you don't eat, your body eats away at your muscles and organs (including your heart).
You just need to keep telling adults until someone gets her help.
She might think it's ridiculous at first, but once she gets better she'll be happy and grateful. You have to think about what's best for HER.
Once again, make sure they know that her parents already know and have not gotten her professional treatment.
Hope this helped,
