Answers:
I do worry where this sort of thing is going, you are so young you can't even spell ANOREXIC or use a spell checker!

Here is is sobering thought, theoretically these are the maximum times you can survive without the essentials of life:-

3 minutes without air
3 days without water
3 weeks without food!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Keep saying no and try to talk her out of it!. Anorexia just like obesity can kill people!. If she's planning on starving herself for the whole summer she'll end up in hospital or worse in a graveyard!. Search anorexia on the internet and show her what it can really do to her, if she is positive about doing it she must not know what it can truly do!. Many people think it's just a matter of not eating and getting thin quick, you MUST show her that, that's not the case!. She could seriously damage her body, not just physically but also mentally!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Of course not eating for any length of time WILL kill you!. You can do without food longer than you can do without water, but only a couple of weeks or so!. Your body reacts by storing what components you have left in it until they have been rationed out and then your body reacts by starting to eat itself from the inside out!. Not Literally but almost!. once all the nourishment is gone then the things in your body that keep you fit and healthy by digesting food etc start digesting muscle fat and leaving you with no strength or immunities to help fight off any little illnesses!. I don't mean to scare you but you asked and although I am no doctor all you have to do is ask a doctor or read a medical book about the subject!. Your friend should not ever think of starving herself it is way too dangerous and sometimes the damage is irreversible!.

She is highly unlikely to listen to you!. If you had a child in a similar situation as her's, wouldn't you want to know about it, so you could do something, before serious harm resulted!? Of course you would!

So it now becomes a matter of how to inform her parents: one suggestion is through asking one of your other friends, or relatives, to do it for you; another is to ask the school counselor to say that there was unconfirmed, but reliable information available suggesting that she may be developing anorexia, and that they would be well advised to address the matter early!. See section 44, at http://www!.ezy-build!.net!.nz/~shaneris on anorexiaWww@Answer-Health@Com

Possibly, depending on how long you mean!. 90 days!? Yes, most likely!.

You can collapse - faint, have seizures, and become anaemic through loss of vitamins/minerals (several types of anaemia)!. You can also become (more) mentally unwell!.

She may be sectioned and have intensive care nurses restrain her and feed her through a nasogastric tube up her nose if the worst comes to the worst!.

Perhaps you could take her to doctor or encourage her to speak to a teacher!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

not only can she die but it can ruin her life!. anorexia robs your body of everything!. it is unattractive!.!.

you loose muscle mass, hair, teeth!. also it puts so much stress on your body that you can have a heart attack!. a lot of anorexics can not have children!. when you rob your body it finds ways to shut down!. your period will stop and can put a girl into menopause!.

you 2 should find activities to do this summer!. swimming is a great way to get/stay in shape

have her talk to someone if she is worried about her weight then have her see a nutritionist!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Er! You no eat you die, but slowly!. Your organs will wither and pack in!. Then your heart can`t take the strain and it will check out!. So, yes you will be skeletal and dead!. If your friend won`t listen to you, best go out and buy some black clothes for her funeral!. She wants a clip around the ea role!!!, and dump her!. Inform her parents what she intends to do!. There is something sinister about a friend who wants you to join her in this dangerous act!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

One famous example of a sufferer is Karen Carpenter!. Anorexia put a uniquely talented person to waste there!. I honestly don't know how long it takes to die from Anorexia but perhaps using shock tactics will make her think!. I've found a few websites which may help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

a whole summer without eating!.!.!.!? You cant even go half a month without food! Go to your friends parents and tell them what your friend is doing!.!.!.after that it isnt your problem anymore and they will be able to help her and do for her what she needs!. Congratulations on being strong and saying no!
and good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com

duh it would kill you!. why would she want to disrespect herself like that!. thats just dumb when girls do that!.!.!.!.and mostly the ones who do it are pretty and skinny already!. Theres probably nothing you can say that will persuade her not to!. once she has it set in her mind!.!. shes probably already started it!.!.!. tell her parents, get her help!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

You will starve to death!. Even if you go anerexia you cant eat and you litraly cant eat!. some people with anerexia cant even sit down because their skin is so sore!. its a disease and you should not start it on purpose!. why does she want to!. its horrible how skinny they get because of the lack of fat on your body!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hi, you say your friend wants to starve!. If she is your friend don't you think you should be having a word with her folks!. Even if you loose her friendship through it you can console yourself with the fact that you may have saved her life!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Didn't know anorexia was a the "it trend!.!.!.don't recall seeing it on "sex and the city"

Anyhow, if your friend makes it through the week, let alone the summer, then do let us know!. She could break some kind of world record!Www@Answer-Health@Com

yes! first it will cause you to become all weak and sick feeling then it will start eating all your fat which is kinda the point, but after that it starts eating all your muscle until you die!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
