I'm really worried about my friends health
okay, so my close friend chelsey has had problems in the past with anorexia/eating disorders of some kind. she went to a treatment center and was fine for about a year, but for the past 4 months, i've noticed that she's been skipping lunch at school, and she told us that she's down to a size 00 and she's about 5'5" so its extremely tiny. her parents weigh her once in awhile just to keep track, but they tell her before they do it, so she goes and drinks tons of water to gain weight. my friend's and i have hinted and written letters to her, saying that we're worried, but we seriously canNOT get it across to her that she is on the verge of relapsing her eating disorder. do you have any advice as to how we could tell her that what she's doing is extrememly dangerous and that we care about her health? thanks

their are a few ways to deal with this. actually confront her. sit her down and tell her about it. tell her your scared for her and wish she would stop. if that dosent work, the next step is to tell a counsler or a adult you trust. then if that still dosent work go to her parents. all steps you wont WANT to take but if you want to help her you must.
here is is a helpful site that you can go to, dont worry i checked it out before i gave it to you. its good.

Many people have eating disorders because they have a low self esteem. Your friend may feel like she's not pretty and maybe that's why she's not eating as much. What you need to do is tell her how much you care about her, tell her that she is beautiful and that there is nothing wrong with her, and let her know that what she is doing can lead to death. Show her as much appreciation and love as possible and if she is a true friend, she will eventually listen to what you are saying.
