Concerned about a friend, eating disorder?


I'm really worried about one of my best friends, she hardly ever eats and if she does eat its always something super healthy. She was already thin before, but now she's even thinner. I figured out her BMI on the internet and it came back as 17.4 , is that really bad? She's 19 and I just dont know what to do. Are there any signs i should be looking out for? What should i do!!!??

Your BMI should be at least 18 and that's the lowest. She needs to see a therapist.

you need to talk to her about it! The only way to find out for syure is to talk to her...if you are super concerned, then talk to her parents.

Best of luck!
