I think my friend has an eating disorder. What should i do? |
My best friend keeps loesing weight. She exercises 24/7 and wont eat anything except "diet food". She has gone from a size 7 to a size 4 in a cvery short time. I am worried about her because she is very thin and shouldnt be starving herself! Also, she WONT talk about it! She tells me She is "just getting into shape", although she already is one of our school's best athletes. If she is on a team, ask her coach if they have noticed anything different about her. If she is mal-nourished, her performance will have suffered. Tell the school guidance counselor. The Counselor can't reveal who spoke with her, and the counselor can make an appointment with your friend to sort through things (the counselor will probably say it is for career planning or something to get her to come in). If the counselor thinks your hunch is right, she will contact your friends parents. You never know why she eats the way she does. Maybe her family teases her about weight, maybe her coach said something once, maybe another friend, or boyfriend made her feel fat. Who knows. I wouldn't wait too long before mentioning this to someone, your parents, her parents, a teacher, have an intervention with a bunch of friends. Do something. If she really is sick and you don't say anything, you will end up feeling really badly for not helping her sooner. most people will say she needs help and quick. that prolly what is the right thing to do about this. but, me i would say it IS her body and she CAN do what she wants with it. tell an adult. ur friend will get mad, but she will thank u later. this is serious, and life-threatening. GET HELP NOW! How long has this been going on? If it's just something that goes on for a month or two it's probably just a temporary phase. If it goes on for longer she is probably developing an eating disorder. You can find more information here http://www.geocities.com/helpprob... How old is she? If she is still a minor and at home it might be time to talk with her mom or dad.... tell her that guys dispise her type. and that is so true ma'am. anorexia is a disorder and she needs to see a doctor. woman need fat to survive and u need fat for breasts no joke. She is just skirting around the real issue. Talk to some counselors to see what they say may an intervention is necessary. |
