I think one of my friends is anorexic. She is all skin and bones, doesnt eat AT ALL and she says that she wants to be 30 kgs. How can I make her realise that she needs help???? she weighs 41kgs now.

well she probably won't listen anyway, but you can always talk to her family-however  chances are she will feel betrayed and never trust you again...

It would be pretty hard for her to realize because, she knows no one can control her, second of all, anorexic is hard a habit to break which most people prefer to do the easy way while they know they should do it the hard way... And What penguinsrule was saying... is quite true that the chances are she will go against you for talking into her about it.

I'm back... not sure for how long though!

Talk to her about it first.
Dont go running off right away to get help.
You will never get her back.
Just talk to her and try to comfort her and understand her reasons.
Dont fight her.
She needs to admit she needs help.
If she doesnt, tell her you will help her get help and if she cant do it, you are going to have to tell someone..
Just ease into the situation.
Dont act on your impluse.
Good luckk.

Insult her. That's the only way. Make it so that she associates skinny with ugly.

she needs an intervention
parents or teachers would be a good start
and if you dont want her to know it was you who told, tell them that and hopefully they will respect that

NOOOOOO
that is not at all the way to go about it....at least not at first
talk to her, at length, about your suspicion.  after that talk, decide what to do....always talk to your friends about these kinds of things BEFORE you go and do a thing like that!!!!

and quite alot of people with EDs will lie about it and do anything to stop questions about it. You will never get complete honesty from a person with an ED unless they want to get better (and there aint many of them)
