I think my friend is bulimic?!
Question: So for privacy lets call her "Sally"
Sally is a little chubby, but she's already lost a good amount of weight and honestly I think she looks good the way she is.
So a couple of months ago she sort of stopped eating and my friends and I were so worried we told the guidence counselor and she said that we should just watch her and if she continues to tell her again.
She totally got over it and was completely back to her normal self.
On thursday, we were sitting at lunch and she looked down at her arms and said "OMG! look how huge my arms are. I have to stop eating." I was like hahah w/e ur jk.
Later at lunch we both had to go to the bathroom and i noticed from under the stall that she was standing facing the toilet the whole time yet she flushed. I sorta questioned her about wtf she was doing ( i didnt say anything like ruthrowinup?) but she got all defensive saying it was nothing.
The next day i secretly followed her into the bathroom and she spent about 30 sec in ther

You are right and a good friend to be concerned. Its a very delicate situation as if you are wrong you will probably drive your friend away, but if you are right then she urgently needs help. When she goes to the bathroom and you've followed her are you able to hear what happens? If theres gagging or heaving noises then its a pretty clear case. Maybe a glance under the stall door, or over the top if you can do so without being seen would help confirm one way or the other. Also talk to your other friends and see if any of them have similar fears or experiences.
You should probably talk to the conselor again to get some expert advice on what steps to take, and obviously if correct you'll need to get her family notified asap.
Well one thing if she did throw up wouldnt you hear it? Another thing is if you really are worried take her alone not with a whole group just with you and explain to her that you are a bit worried and you want to know what is going on. If she replies with a "I dont know what you are talking about" then ask her straight out if she is throwing up but if she says no just dont pressure her into it anymore and try spending more time with her and get closer and she might trust you more to tell you.
How old are you? the way you are going about trying to help her is not helping it is embarassing her. You need to talk to her in private and not around a bunch of people. This is serious. Bulimia can be addicting. I know I have dealt with it. It could take her years to get better. She may need professional help. You just need to show her you care and you are there to support her and help her.
ok well you didnt hear anything so she probally wasnt puking but another thing is theres a chance that she could be pregnant
did you hear her throw up? did you smell a certain smell comming from her mouth or fingers? that could tell you she is making herself puking. her reaction is indeed a bit weird but don't jump into conclusions right away (or at least don't let her know what you suspect). besides I think 30 secs might be a bit short to throw everything out again. just keep an eye on her and if you don't trust it, go to the guidence councelor again.
