print it out.
go to your counselor.


your friend needs serious help.
if you don't help her, she may very well do this and seriously, permanently injure herself.

 

[lpe_bratz]

she always says shes fat. i think its because all of our "popular" girls are all under 100 pounds.

i don't care.

if shes thinking about hurting herself to be thinner, you need to be her friend, and right now being her friend means protecting her. even if you're protecting her from herself.

ok thanks shelby

 

[Brotta]

it doesnt work
for wrestling my sophmore year i would lose 15 - 20 pounds twice a week to make weight. at the end of the season i put 35 pounds on in a week and a half of weeks because it screws up yor metabolism so bad.
tell her to just keep eating healthy and excersing your not going to see changes in a day or a week but you will lose the weight slowly and healthy. the human body can lose 1 - 2.5 pounds a week of fat anymore and its muscle and unhealthy.

 

[StitchfansJr]

I don't think that 125 pounds is a lot. I'm only 96 pounds myself. I wish I could gain weight. I'm not a stick, tyvm, but I do see where she can be coming from. I agree with Shelby.

 

[K-Shong99]

Aww.
That's sad.
Tell your friend that she is beautiful the way she is.
I am really skinny, but that's just the way I am.
And it's not a good thing.
I have been told I'm "to skinny and ugly" many times.
I would much rather be a bigger girl.
My friend is about 160 pounds and is one of the most beautiful girls I know.
Please tell her to not make herself sick.
I once had another friend that was anorexic and would just pass out in random places from lack of food.
It's really sad.
I know it will be hard to say something to her about it, or anyone else for that matter, but it will be well worth it.

 

[lpe_bratz]

thank you so much guys!

Well if your friend thinks she's fat than I must be fat too because I'm basically the same size as her. I agree with Shelby. Print it out and show someone pronto. If she gets mad, don't worry she'll get over it.

And for the record, when I went to my physical over the summer the doctor told me I was the perfect weight for my height and body type. You're friend is not fat. She needs to talk to someone.

She may think its only for a week, but it could get worse. Oh and in health class last year they told us that throwing up doesn't actually help you loose weight. Just an F.Y.I Not to mention, if you don't eat, you can't loose weight through exercise because you're body needs calories to burn.

I'm not freaking out at you, don't worry I'm just saying in general.

 

[lpe_bratz]

Yah earlier in health this year (we have it in sets of 3..i had it the 2nd set) we learned that if you make yourself throw up, you actually GAIN weight.

we don't really have a counsler. we have one...but like he replaced our counseler last year after she had her baby and she didnt come back..hes not registered or anything. he basically just deals with people's schedules and stuff.

 

[lpe_bratz]

what i think is weird, is she has health now..and this week and last week theyve been talking about eating disorders and how they affect people...so why would she think of it??

 

[Lizbon]

She probably thinks she knows when to stop. In other words, they tell you how bad it can get and she probably thinks she can stop herself before it gets that bad. Since you don't have a proper counselor at the moment, I would say either shown you're parents or hers.

 

[Tinkerbell424]

You NEED to talk to her about this and convince her not too. If she doesn't let her parent or a guidance counselor know. Bulimia and Anorexia is a very serious disease and even if she does do it for 4 weeks, she can damage the inside of her body and be addicted to it by then.


Best of luck.

 

[STOPxmickeytime]

I'm going to disagree with everyone and say at first, just try talking to her and watch her VERY closely for a week or so.
Not that I'm saying she's lying, but it's one thing for people to propose doing something as drastic as that and quite another for them to actually do it.

If after a week or less though she's still exhibiting signs of interest or talking about it, talk to your parents.

 

[jbcheerchick93]

i agree with two people.

shelby, you were right to sugest that, but so were you, mickeytime, to watch her.

it is possible that she just needs attention, but if you can tell she is acting differently when she eats, then you should print it out and show it to her parents, your parents, and the principal. even if you dont have a real guidance counselor, anyone can help. at my school the lunch ladies walk by your table just to make sure that every single person has something to eat. good luck wiht heloing her!!

 

[lpe_bratz]

thanks so much everybody! i plan on talking to her soon! i talked to her a little bit on the phone tonight but she got mad if i mentioned it..

she's most likely staying the night at my house friday from 3:30 til saturday at 6pm. so i'm hoping we'll talk then. we can't really talk in private at school because of all of our friends around.

so until friday, i'm thinking of the right things to say.

 

[BabyPiglet]

You need to tell someone. Her parents. A counselor. Teacher. Someone.

 

[lpe_bratz]

I think I'm going to talk to one of her brothers. Either Brecken (17) or her sister's boyfriend which is like her brother Braydon (15).

I'm going to talk to her about it first on Friday though.

Well first of all having an eating disorder is not a diet. You can't just have one for 4 weeks, it doesn't work like that. Eating disorders affect mental health and can be life threatening.
I can see where your friend is coming though, i weigh 98 pounds but i'm far too short to carry weight. The popular girls who must be 4-5 inches taller than me all way either less or the same as me. I know i'm not fat but they manage to make me feel it.
I don't really know what you can do, just be there for her, try to talk to her and try to get her to talk to someone. My one friend is convinced she's fat. The funny thing is she loves her best friends figure and well her best friend is bigger than her.
