How do I help an anorexic friend?

Ok so, I have a friend she isn’t eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner. She thinks shes fat, me and a lot my friends are trying and trying to help her and we are telling her to eat healthy foods. She said she wants a body like mine, and it makes me sad everytime she looks in the mirror she says that she hates herself. This all happened because some guests came over to her house and said that shes been gaining weight! Any help?!

try to stop here and feed her

Tell her parents right away! Anorexica is a very stressful disorder & can cause stress to her heart which can cost her her life.

Tell someone before its to late

Tell a trusted adult. If you’re not comfortable talking to her parents, try a school counsler. Don’t just ignore this!!! You’re friend is going through something serious.

Answer #5

THANKYOU guys so much. She is doing better, once she vomitted 4 times at school teachers found out and stuff, she was upset that they told her parents but she is eating now! and healthy!

Answer #6

her parents NEED to know right away!!! She needs to get into counceling or some type of intervention before this turns into an eating disorder, if it already hasnt!
