You must "tell on her"!. You need to talk to a teacher/parent/adult that you trust!. If you want to, you can tell the adult anonymously!. If you don't do something to help her and then something bad happens to your friend, you will feel terrible!. PLEASE do something to save her!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You need to talk to a counselor from school or even your parents this is a disease she will not be able to quit this with out some kind of counseling or treatment if you are her good friend you will do the right thing ,and if she gets mad then she gets mad , but later will understand you were looking out for her!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
