How to help my bulimic best friend?

I’m 13, and my best friend is 14 . We are both in the 8th grade . I’m about 104 pounds . depending on if im on my period (then im around 108-110) I personally think im fat, but I donnt think I need to loose weight . my friend and I are the same hieght , she might be a half inch taller. and she will never tell me her weight . im guessing around 120-125 pounds, I don’t know thats just a guestamite. And she is the PRETTIEST girl , byu far in our class .

She thinks she is fat, and she is bulimic . I tell her everyday how beautiful she is , and that I love her. and when she says she is fat, I try to reasure her that she isnt, but she denies it.

She is in therapy, but she wont tell the lady anything , because she thinks the lady will tell her mom . And the lady already swore that everything was confidential .

We have bible everyday after lunch , and she either goes to the bathroom and throws up , or she goes to the trash can and throws up and says its her acid reflex . bull .

anyways , her and this guy when out for 16 months , and she didnt tell me till after they broke up that he told her she was fat, and that she had a belly on her , and called her jelly belly . I fuckin hate this guy , he ruined her life , and now she cant stop , cause after you do it about 10 times it comes fluentley .

and her mom thinks its a joke, and that she’s just trying to get a attention .

she really needs help . and this throwing up , is NOT sheding any weight .

I just really need to help her . fast .

its ruining her body .

Answer #3

Tell her about the bad consequences of bulima, like rotting teeth, bad breath, stomach ulcers, death, and what not. Tell her that it’s not helping her lose weight. Tell her you love her lots and don’t want to see her go more downhill than she’s going now. Tell her that if she wants to lose weight (even though she doesn’t need to) to do it by eating less and maybe you two can join a gym or something. Try spending a lot of time with her and since her mom doesn’t believe her, maybe a good friend’s mom might and help her get the help she needs (or a counselor) as well as the support. I wish you guys the best of luck!!

I do , and she gets pissed .

Answer #5

This is really a serious problem, I have actually had thoughts of an eating disorder. try searching some pictures of what bulimia does to you, then sit her down and ask her if she would like to feel unhealthy like that. Let her know you really love her and you can’t let her hurt herself…if this doesn’t help, try telling your guidance counselor or someone at your school, or a trusted adult. Hope this helped.
