What should I do?

[It's Tina!]

My friend, Kayla, is not eating at lunch time. I'm worried about her. I ask her why isn't she eating she says I don't want to. And then I asked did you have breakfast? Kayla said no. I offered her some food but she said no. I told her that I cared about her health why won't you eat anything? She says I don't care! This has been happening since Wednesday... I'm worried about her what should I do? She says she is on a so called "DIET".

Anorexia. Yup I know what it is.

If she excersises ALOT, then be concerned. Right now she might just be fasting or something

She's not fasting because she isn't muslim. I'm scared about her health. I think she is overdoing it...

P.S. She's been only drinking milk at lunch time.

Not just Muslim people fast. It could be anorexia. Do you know if she eats dinner or snacks?

It could be anything, I usually don't eat breakfast because I don't have time & when I'm in college I don't have dinner because I don't really like eating in front of people that much and I don't feel hungry.

Leave her for another week or so and if she's still doing it confront her. Don't keep nagging at her now though because you'll get her angry when it could just be a phase.

Oo, I had an issue like this.

She calls it a diet? Yes, she needs some help.

I had to go to a counselor for my friend and I'm glad I did because I just didn't know and if I didn't say anything, who would?

Go to a counselor first; it's totaly confidential so unless you tell her she will never know for sure if it was you.

You could be saving her from alot of pain. If this really is serious than y'all can't do it alone, you need some help and a school nurse and/or counselor can help.

EDIT: HERE's my topic. It wasn't the same scenario, but skim through the advice people gave me. I did go to the counselor and I do not regret my desicion at all.

well, my mom fasted only once because the doctor had to do a test, and that was it. At least she is drinking something good! but it's good that you are concerned
