ok so my friend doesn't eat very much and she throws up and it's not like she's a size two, she's an alright size and she's beautiful and I can't seem to do anything to convince her to stop and that she's beautiful. I can't convince her, her boyfriend can't, none of her friends can and I'm lost and I really want her to stop because it hurts me to see her like this and unhappy with her appearance. please I need advice.
The only thing that you can do is tell her parents so they can get her the medical attention that she needs. You can't deal witih this alone it has to do with the way she thinks about her own self image. She's going to be mad that you did but in the long run she'll thank you for telling them because you'll be saving her life.
wow that is a tough situation that I actually experienced myself. I was anorexic and my friends and boyfriend could'nt convince me to eat. the only thing that helped me was seeing how miserable I was and how happy other people were, even if they were not a perfect size. I also saw this documentary on hbo called thin. google it. it shocked me so much and it made me realize that I'm not the only person being hurt. it is also more than being thin, it's a psychological illness that a lot of people suffer from. so keep trying for your friend, don't give up hope.
I think the only choice in this situation is to tell her parents. She may be mad at you for awhile but in the end she will appreciate it. I did an essay on bulimia last year and if people don't get help there is a good chance they could die. I say tell her parents or get her to go to a clinic somehow. Good luck, keep me posted.
Telling authority figures is the next step. Tell her parents. I know this sounds bad but it sounds as though she has bulimia and anorexia in the works. This is a dangerous disease. Usually it's not even about the weight. It's a feeling of control. Please tell her parents ASAP and gather as many friends as you can when you do it.
It is about the weight. she says once she loses it she will be happy and beautiful, I keep telling her that's not true and lots of her friends know too so it's not like it s a HUGE secret - 4 months ago

I would still tell her parents. Bulimia and anorexia are not healthy. Even if it is sheerly about the weight it can become an addiction. It can get out of hand. First, (if you don't want to tell her parents right away) sit her down and talk to her. If she's really upset and the weight she needs to do it in a healthy way. That means exercising and eating healthy. Exercising at least three days a week...at least. The way she is doing it will kick her body in panic mode and it will conserve her fat - 4 months ago

So not only will it be hard to lose weight but her body will also end up eating the muscle. Throwing up leads to bad teeth, messes with your nerves and you can end up being chronically sick (you as in generally speaking). - 4 months ago
