Question: I'm worried about my friend's(16) health!.!.!.PLEASE HELP-don't know what to do!!?
Hey we're 16 in yr 10 at school!. She's the smartest person in our year and in my opinion the prettiest!. She's the best dancer and is popular, in short she has everything going for her!.
But recently she's been tied down with ppointments at the drs and hospitlas and no-one knows what its about not even her parents!.!.!.but i do know she's not prenant!.
Anyway she never sleeps, is never happy with her exam results (not even 97%), is losing weight, thinks she's ugly and hates people touching her!. She's never as happy as she was and when she is, its like she's faking, she doesnt enjoy dancing anymore and doesnt smile as much as she used to!. The worst thing is she is starting to go home from school early coz she feels "sicks" and she falls asleep in class-the teachers just let her sleep!.!.!.
What should I do!?!?!?!?!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
The best you can do in such a situation is to let her know that you are there for her!. Maybe she doesn't want to talk about whats going on, so be the one who she can forget about whatever is happening and have a good time wtih! Maybe she wants to talk about it but just needs time, so be the one to just stand by her, give her company and she'll know that she can trust you and tell you what's going on someday!. She just needs somebody to accept her right now - the way she is at the moment, not how she used to be!. Once she sees that you are not judging her, you are just there to be with her and help her if she aks for it, she'll be more comfortable and maybe let you in on whats going on!.

Be her friend!.
A lot of illnesses leave people feeling very drained and tired because their bodies are busy using up their energy, there isn't much left over to run around, and have fun with like there may have been before!.
She may just feel uncomfortable with how she feels about herself now that she is unhealthy or it could be that she is just too tired to exert a lot of energy being who she used to be!.
Just be her friend, and be there for her to confide in, if she needs to!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It sounds like anorexia!. Loss of sleep, low self-esteem, and constantly feeling inadequate are all signs of that!. My advice is to either tell your school counselor (if you're in school right now), tell your parents, or go directly to her parents!. You can't solve the problem by yourself, but with the help of trusted adults you can help her get the help she needs with whatever it is she'd going through!. Best of luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
How could your friend be going to the dr!.'s and hospital's without her parents knowledge!. She isn't old enough to sign for her own health care!. How would she pay the health care bills!? Since the teachers let her sleep and other such things she has going on, maybe she has cancer or some disease and is depressed about it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You cant help those who dont want help!.If she confides in you then you might be able to help if its not medical!.Theres all kinds of bullcrap in a 16 year olds life!.We all have been through it and most have lived!.Her family proubly knows about it and if thay wanted people to know thay would tell them!.Just let her know your there for her!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
It could be depression as all the symptoms you have described can be the result of depression!. I'd say leave her be though!. It's for her family and her doctor to sort out!. Just be her friend like you have always been and treat her like you always have!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

First of she is depressed and showing the beginning stages of suicide!.
Well if she has a boyfriend then that may be the problem he may be telling her stuff she needs to change and she just feels horrible!. Another reason could be that she wants a boyfriend and cant get one so she feels bad about herself and is trying to change!. Maybe someone died that she loved!. Or maybe it is her home life, are there problems at home like either beatings verbally or physically or being pushed to do good to much!.
I hope these will give you ideas of what is going on!. Once you find out the problem then you should talk to her if she says stay out of it or leave me alone then you do not stop you need to talk with a counselor about her and figure out exactly how you can help her without you knowing!.
I know this becasue someone at my school recently commited suicide and he showed some of the same signs!.
I hope everything works out for your friend!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I am not a doctor, but her situation sounds very common for people with eating disorders!. Dancers and gymnasts have a very high rate of eating disorders because weight is very important in those sports!.
But not eating can do bad things to your body and mind!. It can make you tired, it can make you feel ill, and it can make you depressed!.
People with eating disorders also tend to not like their bodies, thus not wanting anyone to touch them, or thinking they are unattractive!.
Try talking with her about it!. It may be painful for her, but no matter what the problem is, she needs to know someone loves her, and that you will help her if she wants it!. Talk to her parents as well, if you're close enough to them to do so!.
At the end of the day, I can't tell you what's wrong!. But if she is unhappy and unhealthy, it doesn't matter!. She needs support no matter what the issue!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

To be honest nothing!. A wise person once told me to fight my own battles!. I've tried helping similar friends and ended up getting burned in the end!. Trust me you are better off letting her/him work it out themselves!. You can't help someone unless they want to be helped!.
If your friend willingly accepts your help, them her/him will know to come back to you whenever they need something (money, car, drugs, etc!.)!. That's not always a good thing!.
You can try helping by asking your friend what is wrong and talk about it!. Then go from there, but you have been warned!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Sounds like the pressure of everything has finally taken its toll!.
My daughter who is now 20, also had everything going for her, was an over-acheiver, beautiful, enjoyed being busy and acomplishing many things!. Then suddenly it seemed to all catch up to her, it seemed to me that she was so wrapped up in being the best at whatever she did, that life became serious and uptight!. I finally had to tell her that taking life so seriously and not giving herself a chance to relax once in a while was causing her to be ill physically and mentally!.
Your 16 and are concerned for your friend, don't let yourself be taken down by what is going on with her, if you get too wrapped up in her issues it may rub off, so-to-speak!. Be her friend "Tell her you wish she were happier like she use to be, and be a good listener"!. Maybe suggest she find a mentor in the area of her interests, they may be able to help her deal with the pressures of what she hopes to accomplish, and they may be able to show her that she doesn't need to expect to be perfect at everything!. If you have opportunity to talk with her Mom or Dad, let them know of your concerns and let them do their job!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
