Ok, are these signs of something serious?

Don't go back to the counseler. they should be already sorting them issue out. Just give him moral support.

Well a second opinion on the matter wouldn't be a bad idea. Is there more than one counselor? If so maybe talk to them as well about it see what else they say. Or talk to your mother about it, she might have ideas on how to handle him at the very least.

After that I believe stepping back and letting the rest handle itself is how it should be.

well, it sort of depends, I am sort of confused. I am really skinny, as in, I can fit all of my fingers around my wrist and still have room leftover, even with my pinkie! But I am healthy, because I eat, and Don't throw up my food, and alot of guys like me. I am skinny because I am not finished growing yet, so I am growing "up" faster than "out"

no i don't think so anorexia is when you starve yourself because you think your fat and your not! lol

First, maybe you should ask him if he knows what he's doing to himself and ask him why and things like that. Then tell your mother, guidance councelor, or anyone you trust. He could have some sort of "problem" with this, and it could ruin his life.

If you do the right thing, he may be mad at you, but it could save your life.

Also, Kid's Help Phone is a pretty could site and a good number to call, try that too.

Anorexia is about control aswel. When I was watching a programme on children as young as 9 being anorexic they said that it was being able to control what they were doing like, only having so many calories and loosing as much weight as they could.

UPDATE: Ok, so I went to the counselor when, last monday?

Well, I'm guessing that the counselor talked to him today because he asked if anyone [well, the two girls on my bus plus me] if we had talked to the counselor.

I lied and said 'no' and tried to change the topic to the bus that was parked half on the curb. xD

I don't really think he's anorexic now- he says he's not and tells the counselor this but she seems not to believe him.

He told me he was saving up his lunch money to pay a guy to wear spandex. o.0

But, 'dareing' himself not to eat was something to be worried about and he olnly has to deal with it for what- 3 more weeks of school?

I am glad I went because you never know. ;]

Yeah although there's a limited time left, he is now being watched and dealt with, which is good. Eating disorder or not, I agree he's gambling with his health not eating, and it could be another mental issue altogether. Least he now has help. Good stuff!

Not to bump an old topic but please tell the principal if anything like that occured again i think you should tell them now while he still has hope - prays for him - did you offer him anything like a piece of sandwhich or something like that tell him he has to eat right i have high metabolism too
