tell her parents that you’re worried about her and encourage them to get her professional help. if you’re worried about her being mad at you for that, ask them not to tell her that you said anything, they can just tell her that they noticed her changing on their own.

You can’t do anything your friend is gonna do what she chooses. Its nice that your trying to stop her by doing the right thing. If she doesn’t want to stop then shes going have to learn the hardway. All bad things that we do to each other or ourselves always has a price.

I wouldnt go about telling her its an awful thing to do but perhaps try asking her why she does it or offer her support through it. Lots of the time peopel are anorexic due to psychological problems and need the help and support through it. Perhaps find a website that trys to help and support anorexics and give her the address that way she can go and look at it in her own time and you arent putting more pressure on her. x
