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.

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)

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

try to talk to her + make sure she knows shes got you there
and you will listen to here.
issy14 Posted at 5:59 am on June 29, 2008
i would just try and talk to her and if thaat doesn't help i would go and talk to her parents.i no this my difficult and your friend might hate you for this but later on she will forgive you because you were only trying to help her and thats the best thing a friend could do

you should talk to her about it. Maybe an adult also
xspilledcanvasx Posted at 6:10 pm on June 25, 2008
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.

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.

thats the same with my sister... i find a like letter from her diary saying she has tried throwing up and stuff and i barely c her eat and if i do its unhealthy but yet shes super skinny... idk what to do either cuz i dont want her mad at me if i tell my parents
Aliboo Posted at 6:00 pm on June 25, 2008
You need to talk to her and tell her what shes doing isnt healthy
penguinsrule Posted at 5:56 pm on June 25, 2008
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...
