Answer #3

tell her parents. sometimes you need to not just do it for the friend, in the long run, she will thank you for helping her.

Answer #4

if you tell her to phone hotlines or talk to teachers etc she will ignore the advice.my advice s for you to help her. tke her somewhere she really likes or do something together that she really enjoys and carefully bring up the subject, dont lecture her about it and if she loks upset or angry dont give up just support her and tell her she can trust you. if nothing works talk to her parents but make sure she doesnt know about it because she will resent you for it. she needs to know how dangerous her condition is and that she could die from it, obviously dont say she will die but mke her realise if she doesnt turn herself around that is the path she is taking.

Answer #5

As a friend it is your duty to help her - TELL !! - get her help and don’t stand on the sidelines - intervention or whatever it takes…I wish you and your friend the best !!
