Changes (again)
Thanks but I'm just afraid of telling someone... who do I tell? and won't she get mad at me?

Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
She may get mad at you, but it's definitly worth it. I'd rather lose a friend to a fight then to death because I was too scared of telling someone.
I mean, of course you have to try and confront her about it, see if any of it's true. I'm not sure how good you are at telling if people are or aren't lying, but she may lie about it if she's afraid you'll blab her secret.
If she starts rapidly losing weight then she may be doing any of those things, drinking, smoking, or suffering from anorexia.
It's scary when you have to tell someone, but just think of what could happen if you don't.
Don't spread anything around about her either. Don't talk to people and say "I'm worried about so and so because of such and such" you don't want to start rumors, even if it isn't on purpose. I mean, you can ask friends what they would do in that situation without dropping any names (like say someone came to your advice column asking about it.. something along those lines)
But who to tell - well, school is out for summer right now so I guess I can't really suggest a trusted teacher, but I have one teacher I trust with everything. She knows a bunch of stuff about my personal life... but hey, I could just be weird, I don't know if any other students have teacher relationships like that. But umm, are you close enough with either of her parents to tell them that you're concerned about her? What about any of her aunts/uncles/older cousins/grandparents... any type of adult family member of hers (or even yours) that would know what to do in that situation. Are you close enough to your mom to tell her that you think your friend is injuring herself? Moms are good like that where they can call up your friends parent and tell them what's up.
Hope I helped.
