-- Posted by sarah is hot at 5:55 pm on June 25, 2008 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. -- Posted by penguinsrule 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... -- Posted by Aliboo at 6:00 pm on June 25, 2008 You need to talk to her and tell her what shes doing isnt healthy -- Posted by Sportygirl9308 at 6:00 pm on June 25, 2008 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 -- Posted by Squee77 at 6:01 pm on June 25, 2008 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. -- Posted by xspilledcanvasx 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. -- Posted by T3r354113 at 6:16 pm on June 25, 2008 you should talk to her about it. Maybe an adult also -- Posted by issy14 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 -- Posted by drunkenmess at 7:31 am on June 29, 2008 try to talk to her + make sure she knows shes got you there and you will listen to here. -- Posted by Moridin at 7:49 am on June 29, 2008 Insult her. That's the only way. Make it so that she associates skinny with ugly. -- Posted by W o n d e r l a n d at 7:40 pm on June 29, 2008 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 -- Posted by Anonymous at 9:29 pm on June 29, 2008 Quote: from xsolox at 7:40 pm on June 29, 2008 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!!!! -- Posted by W o n d e r l a n d at 7:57 pm on July 4, 2008 Quote: from Anonymous at 2:29 pm on June 30, 2008 Quote: from xsolox at 7:40 pm on June 29, 2008 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)
