My friend is turning anorexic!! Help!!

My friend has never been fat, she's always been a normal, healthy weight but bullies on AskFM convinced her she was fat. It all started at the start of year 8 (she is now starting year 9) I noticed she never had any lunch, I offered her some of mine but she just shook her head and pushed it away. A couple of months later I noticed a massive drop in her weight. I didn't want to say anything so I kept my mouth shut. The hate messages continued on AskFm they said stuff like ''Wow you are so fat'' ''Go loose some weight fatty'' ''you look pregnant'' and ''your so ugly'' 1 day in PE I noticed she had carved ''FAT'' into her thigh. I knew she had self harmed before but this was going too far!! I tried talking to her, I kept telling her how beautiful she is but she replied saying ''No I'm not, I'm fat'' I remember one time, quite recently actually, just before Summer, we were walking down the corridor together, and she said to me ''I don't feel too good'' she passed out and luckily I caught her. This was after she had told me she had not eaten in 2 days. About 10 minutes ago she posted a picture on facebook and I was so shocked!! The last time I saw her was in July and she has lost so much weight!! She is so so so thin!! When I saw the picture I couldn't help but to cry, how could I let her become so skinny!!?? She looks so ill, I am so worried about her, she is slowly destroying her self. She needs help!! I'm just so scared I'm gonna lose her. Please someone suggest a way I could help her
Thanks. x

You have to tell somebody you trust. Did she talk with her parents or somebody close to her about this? She needs help,before she gets way too thin. First thing you should do is convince her to not read any of those messages,tell her to get off of AskFM. Second,you have to encourage her to eat. Tell her that after you both eat you guys can go running to lose weight. Just try and help her. Tell her to eat healthy food and exercise. Tell her that starving herself won't do anything but harm her. You have to tell a somebody. Call a hotline or something that deals with this and tell them what is going on. They just might help.

Honestly,people like those bullies make me sick.

People can be so cruel. It's not like they look any better. Anyways, it sucks that your friend is going through this. I know girls who went through this too. Now they're taking needles because of it. So, if she doesn't start eating properly she will get much worse, deathly worse. I suggest telling her that she needs help. She has to realize that this could make her really sick and could possibly kill her. Not trying to scare you but it's true, passing out like that is just the beginning. Making herself sick isn't going to help her any. I suggest talking to her parents and telling them that she needs to talk to someone who could help her. I hope your friend gets the help she needs. Good luck.

i only knew one anorexic guy in person... he's dead now though... i think he committed suicide...

you know what you should do? that site that you say she's getting bullied on, get a bunch of people who are good and stuff (from anywhere) to come there and defend her... most anorexic people need majority support... if this whole thing started on the internet than it can end on the internet... also, be sure that you mention your concerns to her... sometimes people need to know just how serious things are getting... ALWAYS BE SUPPORTIVE! also try and help her regain her confidence... the more confidence she has... the less anorexic she will be...

if you want more advice try looking it up or just ask me and via message for a clearer picture on what ya need to do...

hope i helped a little or maybe gave you some ideas...

You need to talk to someone - her parents, your parents, a teacher or the school nurse - and report the bullies on that website. They can't get away with bullying.

well, you need to alert the site's mods. Those guys probably can block the bullies

Oh, no, she shouldn't have listened to those people... The Internet can be evil sometimes. Cyber bullying is awful.
Well, I suggest you talk to your parents about this, or even your teachers! If you tell your teachers, they might tell your friend's parents. And just keep trying to convince your friend she is NOT fat, even though she doesn't listen, keep trying.
Well, I'm not very good at giving advice, so that's all I can say... I hope your friend gets better.
