Nothing will change until s/he admits s/he has a problem and accepts help. At first s/he will deny there is a problem. S/he will fear weight gain and resist it mightily. S/he will be ashamed and not want to admit what s/he is doing. S/he has used the eating disorder to protect, hide, comfort, and empower her/himself. In the beginning, at least, s/he will not want to give it up. S/he sees asking for help as some kind of shameful admission of inadequacy and entering treatment as loss of control. Arriving at a new and healthier perspective is her/his first challenge on the road to recovery

Tell a trusted adult -- parent, teacher, coach, pastor, school nurse, school counselor, etc. -- about your concern. If you don't, you may unwittingly help your friend avoid the treatment s/he needs to get better.

Consider telling your friend's parents, even though it would be hard, why you are concerned. S/he may be hiding unhealthy behaviors from them, and they deserve to know so they can arrange help and treatment. If you cannot bear to do this yourself, ask your parents or perhaps the school nurse for help.
