anorexic friend


Question Posted Tuesday November 20 2007, 7:07 pm

I think my guy friend might be anorexic.
He's told me that he used to not eat, but that ended. But now, he's not really eating again. I don't know if he just doesn't eat in front of me, or if he's not eating at all. But I think it could be a serious problem.

What should I do?

I'm sorry, but I don't agree with any of the other people. If this guy is anything like my guy friends when it comes to confrontation about serious issues, they don't want to talk about it unless you're really good friends.
But maybe that's jsut how my friends are.
You could try bringing it up with him, and see how he reacts. Either way, that's not the only action you should take.


I would tell an adult, like one of his parents or somebody else you trust, because this could be a really serious thing and you shouldn't try to take it on alone.

hay you should try talking to him about this and let him know that your not judging him, your there for him no matter what and that he can confide in you if he need to talk.
people who are anorexic deny it at first so be patient he'll talk when he's ready. it could turn into a serious problem and if it does dont think your the bad guy if you need to tell someone and get help for him, you should even if he tell you not to cos anorexia can get really bad.
hope i helped xoxoxo

YOU should confront your friend and tell him u think he has a serious problem and that he should do something about it.For some extra edge,make him choose u or not eating.
P.S. Be there by him and give support.

Try talking to him, ask him if everything is okay. Of course, if he is anorexic he's probably going to say that everything's fine. But the best thing to do is talk to an adult that you really trust.
