friend & anorexia
Well, there's this girl. Me and her used to be best friends a couple years ago but now we're just okay. We talk once in a while but I still care about her, as a friend of course. Anyways, lately she has been talking SO much about her weight and how she's fat but that thing is, she's not! She's at least 130 and she's pretty tall.
On her xanga she puts how much she eats and how much she will exercise and it's scaring me. I want to tell my mom because her mom is friends with mine but I'm afraid it's going to be my fault for telling her.
There is NO way that I can talk her into not doing it. Many of us have tried to tell her the bad things that can happen, that she can gain more weight that way but she doesn't care. She barely eats..and I don't know what else to do.
Adivce?

I would tell your mother because she can seriously hurt herself. Or you can tell her how much people will miss her. If she does start to eat make sure she doesn't gain to much weight at one time other wise it will create stress on her heart and she could possibly go into cardiac arrest ( heart acttack ). Hope for the best!

This is the same thing that happened to my friend. She's very stressed and she suffers from insomnia but she doesn't want to do anything about it. She doesn't eat, she eats junk food and drinks pop and I told her that I'm very worried about her and I don't want anything to happen to her, but she doesn't listen. You can't really do anything because you can't force her to start eating again, or to get therapy. What she decides is her own business. Its hard, because you care about the person even though you guys kinda drifted apart, but theres nothing you can do about it, its her life.
Good luck.

Well your definetly doing right by not telling her parents. I mean yeah it would be good if you did, but techniqually its not your place to! I know its scary but all you can do is keep giving her advice about it. And tell her how beautiful she is the way she was meant to be an she doesn't need to just not eat. Or even ask her to go on a date an like yall do something like instead of you picking what you want let her pick an instead of her picking out something then you pick it for her so like your kinda trading positions I guess if this makes sence!! Dont worry it will get better, just go search some sites on google an im sure their some kinda answer for help even if that means not telling her parents!
