Question:
My friends are bulimic???
Lately three of my mates have been concernd about there weight. i mean, i hate all this stuff, its WRONG. anyway, they told us they have tried a couple of times to make them selves sick but it didnt work. i then said that they could choose between having an eating disorder or being my friend. they got upset and said sorry. so now i am their friends because i love them so much and i hate arguments. but what shall i do??? they are trying to controll them selves, they look at othre people and think ''i wish i was them'' i have tried and tried to change their minds but they need help. they dont jus need to get over dieting and stuff, they need to stop feeling like their not right. wat can i do to help them?

Answers:
Do these "diet conscious" friends of your have other friends that are aware of the bulimic problems.? It may be wise to get all of your circle of mutual friends together with the ones in question say at a sleep over, with pizza and munchies and all that good stuff...start the dialogue regarding diet, fitness, self image, etc etc. This may start the ball rolling with these girls...if you feel that the conversation went waaay over their heads...it may be time to get their parents involved. Remember...you are friends, and friends do not allow other friends to get in a mess. These is serious business with eating disorders, you could be saving a life here if you act now and get things stopped before they really get started.
