Just tell her how you feel.

Or just be like, we are not friends if you develop anorexia, because I just can not go threw with that.

    ok you need to bust her esteem tell her how pretty she is and what not and how perfect she is. make sure she knows that your there for her for anything. and tell her how you feel she might be defensive and deny stuff but get your message across. take this from someone who knows

    if you dont want her to be anorexic then light up, theres a good song about this.
    roll, roll, roll you joint, twist it at the end, light it up and take a puff and pass it to your friend.(like row your boat)

    get some munchies and she will eat. get some munchies and she will eat…. problem solved, also your bonding and having fun(also sticking it to the man)
    to not break the law go to amsterdam though, but dont break the law*wink*

    well if she is anorexic there is nothing you can really say to her to make her change her mind because its not that simple.

    Anorexia is a serious disease, and its a hard mental disease as much as it is physical. Just like someone about to committ suicide, there is no reasoning with them.

    You need to talk to a trusted adult about your friend, and it could be anyone, a teacher, your parents, her parents, a conselor, etc.

    She needs help, and she may tell you not to tell anyone but she is not in the right mental state to be thinking reasonably. Would you rather have her get mad at you for telling someone and getting her help and live, or go to her funeral?

    You can’t do much after getting her help, but you can support her, don’t be mad, try to empathize with her.

    This is a serious matter because anorexia can impact your friend for the rest of her life even if she stops in a little bit. Their are serious long term effects such as infertility (from losing your period during anorexia) osteoporosis, etc

    Don’t listen to that guy up there. The LAST thing you want to do is not be her firend anymore. Offer her your support, and let her know that you’re there for her no matter what.

    Talk to either hers or your parents. If you’re not comfortable talking to them, then try talking to a teacher or guidance counsellor. She needs all the help and support she can get.

    I had a friend who happened to be annorexic in high school. A number of us suspected it but no one did enough about it. Then, one day, in P.E. this person fell down and started coughing up blood. Said person had to go to the hospital and is still dealing with health issues as an adult. My point is, you need to educate your friend on the dangers of anorexia. You can support them by joining them in a HEALTHY diet program (i.e. excercise with him/her and make healthy food decisions together).

    This is a very dangerous matter and should be taken seriously. Some people take it too far and get very ill, for very long periods, or even die. If you educate, encourage, and support your friend but still suspect they are starving themselves I think you should get her/him some help by going to a social/guidance counselor, a teacher, parents, and so forth.

    Remind your friend that there is a lot of pressure to look a certain way, that is typically not normal. Most women will never be a size 3 or below. She should accept herself as she is and she needs some encouragement. Good luck.

    Eating disorders are serious things that must be handled. Do some reserch and find the cause, the effects, and what can be done to prevent it. If your friend is developing anorexia than your friends finds herself/himself fat when looking in the mirror, if they say that they think they’re fat next time when she/hes looking in the mirror, go to the parents and tell them that your worried! immediate red flag for parents and they’ll take it seriously. Help your friend be by his/her side through it all, its would be way worse for them to lose a friend in this time of need!

    Best of luck to you and your friend.

    Here is a link so you can do some reserch.

    One thing that will help you lose weight: a colon cleanse. I was one of those who did not believe in them until I tried it. And I tried a few until I found a great one that works (its all natural too! – it’s just pills, but you’ll detox, lose weight, and fell much, much better). You can go to
    http://get-diet-thin.us and order you free trial, also you only pay $ 4.95 shipping and handling. Good luck!
