Okay, well, i promised my friend i wouldn't tell anyone, but considering you guys don't know us, i figured it was okay, plus i couldn't hold this in. Well, my bestie, Alexis, has been starving herself for 2 days know and today the counselor put her hand on Alexis's back and told her how skinny she was (as a compliment) and Alexis broke down in tears. So today after school she told me she was starving her self and i kind of flipped out! all the way home i was trying to rationalize with her (i walked home with her) but she insist that she not tell me the reason she's doing it, but its not because she thinks shes fat. all she told me was that if her boyfriend said she shouldn't do it then she would think about eating. when we got to her house i made her eat and then right after she went into the bathroom, i dont know what she did but i'm hoping it wasnt make herself throw up. then she texted her boyfriend and asked him if she should continue and he said no but then i asked her if she would continue and she said maybe. then i tried to scare her by telling her that she was going to die from it (which is possibly true) but it didnt work. so i dont know what to do. ~annA

she says she can stop anytime, but i dont believe her so i'm really worried she'll start then never be able to stop! cuz today she said she was going to stop at lunch so i asked her why she didnt and she didnt answer so i'm really scared!

Yay! I got her to start eating again! I just told her either stop starving herself, or stop being my friend!

Honey, you should be flattered that she came to you for help. She could have come to anybody in the world, but she came to you. She is your best friend, and her telling you is her reaching out to you to help her. She's crying out for help. I do believe that she does want to stop. But that is HER call. SHE needs to stop this and all you can do right now is PRAY, PRAY, PRAY! Pray with all your heart. Prayer is so important, sister. I cannot tell you how important prayer is. And right now what she needs is not you telling her she could die, but you praying for her. The second shortest verse in the bible is 1 Thessalonians 5:17: . . . pray continually . . . You must pray for your friend! She needs to stop this herself, but you need to PRAY. God bless you, my sister.

Wow, I'm so happy for you, althought I don't approve of the way you scared her into it.
