i have known her for years and she has never had any self confidence issues in the past. recently she has lost a lot of weight she has gone frome a size 14 to a size 6 in a matter of months. she still thinks she is fat and all she eats is cellery, lettice, half a tin of soup, toast and for breakfast she has porrage with water cause milk is too fatty. she refuses to believe she has a problem. all of our friends have notaced and even her parents have tried to explain that she needs to start eating right again but she is just obsessed with loosing weight... she never comes out anymore and spends most of her time exersizing and she has bruises and sores on her arms and legs that wont go away and whenever we try to say she has a problem she laughs it off she doesnt realise we are seriouse at all. today me and another friend went online to look up the signs of anorexia as we think she has this and found out she has 11 of the 12 signs so we all decided to tell a teacher who used to be a nurse and she is gonna tell a seniour member of staff but we are worried our friend will take it the wrong way and hate us.
we are so worried about her and i really need advice tbh we have tried everything to shock her into the fact she has a problem, we even wrote her a letter saying how we felt and how she is way to skinny now, she really looks pail and ill and we are affraid she is going to become seriously ill if this carries on. she is having sleep problems to and her periods have stopped and she wont acnoloedge the fact that it is because of the crazy diet that she is on. we have told her that she is only 16 and you shouldnt go on such an extream diet that young and it has been said every year in high skl to us never to go on a diet untill we are over 18 as it can cause harm in the future. she has done one of those BMA things and she knows she is underweight but still carries on to eat cellery at break and dinner, her tea is eaither one slice of toast with no butter or half a tin of soup and her breakfast is porrage with water, that must be horrible. i am really worried about her and we have tried everything we can think of to get her to realise her problem and i guess i am making this thread to get support or ideas that we can use in order to help her become the person she was.
