Hi there!
If she's lost that much weight I'm sure her family would notice. If hey haven't then I'm sure they will find out sooner or later.
Just let her be. If yuou get in the way She will probably start to hate you & if youdo you could make her worse. Just let her do what she wans to do & just encourage her to see a psychologist & maybe her doc too.

Oh sorry I just realised left something out! I think you should learn as much as you can about the illness & let her know what she is doing to herself. She might not be aware of the danger she is in.
I hope I could help you!

try to help her by being her friend. if you are truly worried about her then you need to tell some one who is an adult that you trust. if she gets mad at you oh well she will still be alive. please contact lea she is a nice girl and will help you and your friend

She Dusnt Want To Tell Her Mum And Her Dad Lives In Like England Or Sumthing.
The Problem Is She Is Really Really Tall And Shes Size Zero.
She Knows She IS Underweight Though Because She Was The One Who Told Me.
She Told One Of Our Close Friends As Well But She Doesnt Really Know What To Do.
She Recently Told Her Boyfriend And He Said He Will Also Try And Help.
I Am Trying To Help And Get As Much info As I Can.
I Am Just Really Really Worried About Her Because She Is Only In First Year And I That Is Really Young For Something Like This Isnt It ?

you relly need to talk to an adult at school or her mom. she needs help so that she can stay healthy.

i agree with kamala entirely; do your best in supporting her (not her ed), encourage her to see a psychologist (is she already seeing one?), be there for her when she's emotionally overwhelmed, and again like kamala said, learn as MUCH as you can about the illness; understand it's not just a weight obsession, and try to get through and study the underlying emotions beneath the superficial behavior. but whatever you do, DO NOT go and blab her problem to the world. like you said she told you because she TRUSTS you, to betray that trust---she would not be mad, the emotion she'd feel would not even come close, my friend; she would feel (this also depends on the person) complete and utter helplessness, that the one person she thought she could talk to did not keep her word. hell, if i were her, i would act as though i'd never met you, it would sicken me to look in your direction (just being honest, as harsh as it sounds). also theres the depression to think about, which most likely, even if not noticeable by you, is there. The severity of it is critical; telling someone could be absolutely devastating and possibly cause a complete meltdown. mine is so bad, that, if my friend were to tell, no joke i would go home and drown myself in my bath tub.

just let things happen in their natural course: sooner or later she will (with encouragement from you) make the decision on her own to seek help when the mental burden's become too much to bare, or when she loses a great deal of weight, her parents will take notice and take care of it from there. but please PLEEEASE for the love of God, do not betray her trust, for it is the most important thing rite now, the thing keeping her alive(figuratively)..

do, and you will destroy her

i wish you the best of luck, and send her my wishes
