Eating Disorder
Theres a girl at my school i think may have an eating disorder of some kind. Within the last few days she seems to have lost A LOT of weight. She used to be fairly skinny, but now shes like tiny. And this may sound a little odd, but she did have some, i guess you'd say definition, to her body, and now its all like flat. I'm not friends with her, actually, I don't really talk to her, but it concerns me a little. It could be something else, i know, but i was wondering if i should say something to someone about it, or just mind my own business and let her take care of herself.

Just in case, it'd be better to tell one of the teachers at your school. Make sure you trust them, and that you know them very well. Talk to the girl, become friends with her, and see if you can get her to open up to you. Does this girl have anyfriends? You could ask them, to see if they know anything.
--I hope everything works out with her--

if i were you i would stay out of it because you have so little information. it's very likely that she has a eating disorder, but it could be a variety of other causes. Somebody who is closer to her will probably pick up on it if it is anything bad.

I would stay completely out of it, personally. If it truly is an eating disorder then her struggle needs to be her own. Sure, someone is bound to interfere at some point in time, and when that happens she'll probably grow bitter and hateful. Eating disorders are a very personal problem, and she needs to correct them for herself, not for any order she's given to follow. That's just my opinion, anyhow. Playing with an eating disorder is like playing a fire - just keep out. =/ And if you're not even close to this girl and have noticed, I'm sure her family will be catching on pretty quickly.

Dancincutie is right to a certain extent. It could be an illness or a medication side-effect.
I think I would bring it to the attention of the school nurse or guidance counselor though. It couldn't hurt for someone to keep an eye on her. :)
