tell her how you feel about her tell her how much you love her and how much its hurting you tell her that wantching her hurt her self is not only hurting her but her llove ones have to watch her suffer and it hurts them it kills them insid ... she might do it for alot of reasons she might do it cause people say shes fat or her life at home she could just do it to feel better about her self and wants to have that perfect body but the truth is a perfect body is not being to skiny alot of guys dont like that they like a girl that has something to her if a girl is to skiny the guy might be like i dont want her i might break her i seen and heard it happen but she should really work on bettering herself for her

Really loving someone means that you want the very best for them. The very best thing for your friend is medical help.

Tell her parents. Tell a counselor at school. Tell anyone you can think of until she starts getting medical help.

I know that this may not feel like you are being helpful, an do.but this is the most loving thing you c

I am a great deal older than most of the advisers on this site, so my advice will be somewhat different from what you may have received and may continue to receive from others.

If you are a "true friend" you will tell her parents what is going on with her. Bulimia is a life threatening condition in that the electrolites our bodies need get so out of balance thet even with medical intervention there is a good chance she can die.

Bulimia is a medical condition that is going to require a doctors help in overcoming; not only the condition itself but any harm she has already done to herself.

You may and most likely will loose her as a friend for a short time for telling her parents about what she is doing. If you are a "true friend" you will do this so that when she is better and see's that what you did was out of love not hate you will again be friends and even better friends for you will have saved her life.

Don't wait, tell her parents, tell a teacher, the school nurse or call 911 for her but tell someone and save her life.

Additional information: If this is your friend telling you her parents know and don'tknow what to do don't trust her to tell you the truth. If you have spoken to her parents and they have told you this then talk to your parents and ask them to contact the local child protective service office. Do this for your friend, you will be saving her life.

I had a friend in the same position. You need to tell somebody. A teacher or councilor at your school maybe? If it's gotten that bad you definitely need to tell an adult before she gets really sick and admitted to hospital.

I'd also round up your friends and tell her that you love her, and will support her and that she's fine just the way she is. It might feel a bit awkward but she needs to hear you'll all be there for her. That's what we did, and she's good now :D

Hope that helped you!
