Friend with a possible eating disorder
First off sorry if this question is in the worng category
Ok so I think my friend has some type of eating disorder. And i'm really worried. Like a year ago my friends and I noticed that she was too thin and that her clothes weren't fitting her and stuff so we confronted her and she's like yeah i know i have a problem i'm seeing someone about it. And she started getting better.
A few months ago, her father died of cancer. And even before then she started getting skinnier again. She's thinner then sghe was before. she looks like skin and bones. And i know for a fact that her mom is too preoccupied trying to take care of her and her brother by herself to see anything.
What do I do? I don't want her to get mad... all I want is for her to be better again

I think your problem fits this catagory fine!
But back to your problem. I feel bad for you and your friend! For 1. eatind disorders can be deathly seriouse, plus it can cause friction on your friendship. I thinnk you should confront this friend of yours, tell her You love her (as a friend) and that you wouldn't be telling her this if you didn't, but your worried about her weight, ask her if she wants to talk about it, tell her that if she can't confide in you then to atleast tell someone else. Ask her if something is bothering her causeing her to act this way, be there for her. Maybey try talking to a guidence counselor about this they can take actions into there own hands, and save her life. your friendship

It sounds like you really care about your friend. If your friend has an eating disorder she is going to need help cause she will continue to get more sick. Eating disorders aren't something to mess with. If you really care about your friend you will talk to her about it and tell her mom even if her mom is busy. I know you are worried about your friend getting mad at you but you are helping her and that's a good thing. That's what a friends do.
