I dont want her to get hurt please helo me

Answer #1

First of all talk to her. Tell her that you are worried about her. If you feel comfortable then tell her all the effects of eating disorders… After this try and get her to talk to someone. Someone who she can trust, a family member, a teacher maybe even a doctor. She can get help.

Good luck

Answer #2

she could be just trying to look for compliments from you and stuff by telling her “you’re not fat!” and stuff, you know? but she could also have a serious problem. the comment by stella should help. :]

Answer #3

Attention.

Answer #4

Your friend may be covering up other feelings. She may feel upset about something, but doesn’t want anyone to know. Maybe the overweight issue is covering up bigger emotions. But, I could be wrong :]

                    Your friend might see pictures in magazines about skinny models and celebrities, but try to tell her its not important. being who you are is what's important in life. Tell her that she has awesome friends and a good life, so why does it matter if she's overweight? (even if she really isn't!!) Try to tell her about moments in her life when she was the most happy ... then ask her if being "overweight" affected any of it. It probably didn't :]

»Hope I helped?
