my one friend, told my other friend sam that her boyfriend called her like fat. and so shes always had a low self-esteem. and i have no idea why sam would even tellh er that. and its not even true about my friend, shes tottaly average. i have no idea why her boyfriend called her fat. probably because sam said that she didnt think he was cute. but yeah. so now, sam wont eat. she hasnt eaten hardly anything. and all she does is mope around. and her grades are dropping. and i feel really bad. and i hate my friend and her boyfriend for doing this to her. i want to say something to my friend and her boyfriend. and i also wanna help my friend. but i dont know what to do.

Ask what the fuck their problem is, why they did it & what they're going to do to fix it. Tell them to apologize. There's no reason to put someone down just because of something they say.
Talk to your friend Sam. Tell her not to listen to them & tell her that they don't know what the fuck they're talking about. Tell her that she's gorgeous [and of course, mean this or the effect is negative] & that she's not fat or ugly or whatever. Tell her a rude comment is no reason for her to stop eating or living her life.
Make sure she eats because if she keeps this up she'll develop an eating disorder which is very unhealthy. If they don't apologize, make sure she doesn't talk to either them until they do. And tell her to brush stuff like that all. She's the only person who can judge herself. [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]
ChristusFollowerus answered Tuesday October 16 2007, 2:45 am: Yeah, he needs to knock it off and leave her alone. The best thing to do in this case is to be a friend to her and send an email to him warning him that if he doesn't stop being mean to her, you'll go to his parents about it.
There is a second possibility: Sometimes when grades drop and moping occurs, it means that she was molested or raped. If she is completely withdrawing herself, then that is a HUGE sign that she was molested or is being molested. Have a heart to heart talk to her. Don't repeat anything she tells you to anyone else, keep it in complete confidence. If she is being abused, then get her to make a report to the police.
