friends help: Help me, I’m deeply concerned about my friend! - Help.com

Well, she obviously trusts you as she told you, so first things first, make sure you are there for her when she needs you. You are obviously a great friend as you have taken the trouble to ask us what to do and are concerned for her.

If I were you I would do some research into bulimia and watch her over the next week or two, and make sure you are always there to talk to her. Suss out how bad the situation is. I would try and convince her to talk to her parents or her family. And I would try to help her to stop. But it is a lot for you to handle, and maybe she does need to talk to an expert. If she won’t, and you think she needs to, maybe you could talk to a counselor in your school? In the end, she would thank you for it, but for a while she might be upset and feel you have broken her trust. But you need to decide if the outcome in the end will be worth you ‘breaking her trust’.

I know I have done some stupid things, and my friends kept trying to convince me to tell my parents, and I said no, that I was over them, and I genuinely was, and they kept threatening to tell them for me, and it made it worse and I felt worse. I genuinely had changed, and I wanted them to know that. So maybe ask your friend how she plans to stop, and how you can help. If she doesn’t plan to stop, then you definitely need to get help.

If you need any advice or anything new happens, feel free to shout me. I am hardly an expert, and don’t know much, but I am good at listening!! :o)
