Answers:
Just talk to her and tell her that you don't think its healthy to be doing what she is!.!.!. she won't get upset at you for caring about her!.!.!.

and you can develop anorexia by doing stuff like that!.!. but i think you have to do to such an extent!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

She may have body dysmorphia, and not neccessarily an eating disorder,which is a mental health issue!. If she truly has an eating disorder there probably isn't a way you will convince her either!.

In either case, it doesn't hurt to try!.

Sit her down and ask her what is going on!. Maybe she will be forthright with you!.

If that doesn't work, keep an eye on her behavior!.

If things get worse, try an intervention so she can possibly get some help (i!.e!., She should see a therapist who can try to find what might be causing the behavior)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If she doesn't listen to what you say even if you smack her and tell her that she's a skinny girl it might be best to tell the counselor (you can make it anonymous) or maybe call her mother because sometimes situations can be out of your control!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

tell her to look in a mirror!. if shes obviously one of the skinniest girls you've seen tell her!. tell her you r worried and she needs to stop this nonsense!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

she could have an eating disorder!. if she does, she needs u now more than ever, even if she says she dosent!. u need to stick by her!. if ur really worried, ask her, or go to your parents, just GET HER HELP! ppl can die from eating disorders!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Its either a cry for reassurance, or she has body image issues and needs to see a counselor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

yes she is anorectic and try telling her she isnt fat and get everyone doing the same thing and maybe if she hears everyone saying that then she wont think shes so fat!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
