Answer #1

Thats a type of eating disorder. And if her boyfriend is the reason why she is doing it then thats probably bc her tells her shes fat and puts her down, which is so wrong! 120 is a fine weight .. And she is good just the way she is. God doesnt make bones to be bare, everyone needs some meat(: Just talk to her about it, thats all I can really say, I know thats corny advice :/

Answer #2

Your friend sounds like she has a very bad eating disorder. This should be taken very seriously if she is very underweight and is determinded not to eat. You need to tell a parent or gaurdian of hers if they do not know this already. She needs a lot of help and I hope you will be able to help her through it. She needs help and needs it fast before this destroys her body. Tell someone. Hope it turns out okay.
