Question: What can I do to help my friend with bulimia?

Some secrets aren't good ones to keep. Eating disorders are like an addiction, and the longer it goes on the harder it is to stop. I know it's really hard, and she may be really mad at you for a long time, but the best thing you can do for her is tell someone. If she has a good home life tell her parents, if not try a school counselor. In time she will see that you acted in her best interest. She's lucky to have a friend like you. Hope your friend gets better soon!
I would offer her guidance and talk to her about seeing a therapist who can work with her and support her too. Therapy can definitely help out a lot, especially if you find a group therapy session in your local neighborhood where you can gain knowledge and support from others who might be going through the same thing. I hope this helps you a lot and I will definitely keep you in my thoughts! :-)
Only she can make the choice the change. I know it sounds wrong but all you can really do is be there for her. Watch her to make sure it doesnt get to out of control. If it does take her to a hospital. Keep being that positive influence in her life.
What captain said. Support her even if you don't agree with it. The only thing she needs now is hope. The more you try to change her the more she is gonna want to push away from you and then it's only going to get worse.
First of all, take your friend to Ethiopia. It seems expensive, but when someone ignores their own problem, it is worth them not getting worse. This worked for my daughter agnes, she saw how important food was and she was 9.
Second of all, I would convince them that pooping is more efficient. This may seem gross, but will do 2 good things for them. Most people I trick think they have to gag their anus. After a while they start enjoying this. Soon they realize they like more junk in the trunk so they finally eat regularly again. Two birds with one stone...killiashiad.
