They've lost a lot of weight, and now you can see their bones sticking out of their chest, they're really weak and really grumpy from never eating. You think that they may be anorexic, do you confront them and try to persuade them to get help? I was discussing this today with my friends. I told them if that they ever loose so much weight that they start to become weak and you can see their bones sticking out, I would talk to them. But my friends disagreed, and told me that they wouldn't confront the person, because they'd be too scared of how the person would react. Your views? Would you try and help your friend, or keep quiet?

Leah Louise Posted at 10:00 am on Sep. 3, 2008 i wouldnt cos i have anorexia and i know if they confronted me i would say ther going loopy or sumthin! lmao littlewonderxo Posted at 9:53 am on Sep. 3, 2008 ive had the situatioin happen to me. I walked up to them and said "whats your motherfuckin problem?" and it worked out well for me. I actually got them out of it Anonamouse Posted at 9:51 am on Sep. 3, 2008 I'd try to confront, but be really carefull about what your saying. I know some one tht talked to their friend, what made them realise was getting a photo of ou anorexic friend and edditing the face and backround =|. Be really gentle with your words though. sisof2cnc Posted at 9:51 am on Sep. 3, 2008 confront! LadyAlice18 Posted at 9:50 am on Sep. 3, 2008 well seeing as you have put the sitution on my friend, I wouldn't be so immidate about my actions - seeing as it isn't my business... however, if over a period of time I felt she wasn't doing herself any favours, I may suggest a few things to her. MsCaesi Posted at 9:49 am on Sep. 3, 2008 I would try to calmly talk to my friend one on one about her eating habits. If she became upset I would probably try to talk to her parent or guardian because if her bones are sticking out then there is a major issue going on. Missipop Posted at 9:49 am on Sep. 3, 2008 most of my friends are and i cant say anythingbecause a girl wh tryed to help no one likes any more except i couldnt become it because i like food to much =] Lulu Nobody Posted at 9:48 am on Sep. 3, 2008 If it was obvious that there was an eating issue/disorder going on, I might pull them aside and ask them if anything is wrong, but I certainly wouldn't confront them head on about it. If something is wrong, it would be better to coax it out of them than to force it out of them. Let them know that I am there if they really need it. kupal vibes Posted at 9:47 am on Sep. 3, 2008 i'd observe first before doing anything joz 12345 Posted at 9:46 am on Sep. 3, 2008 i would try to help but u have to be careful with things like that Most recent 15 of 15 previous replies displayed.
