my friend has anorexia and i'm really REALLY worried ...i'm 14 and she'll be 15 at the end of the month we are both freshmen in high school...i try not to be to concerned but i can't help it...her mom says my friends hair is falling out and she has big scabs on her back from her spine rubbing her her skin...she weighs 81 lbs and i(have ALWAYS been a lot smaller)weigh 105lbs.PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I SHOULD DO TO HELP HER!!!!!????

The best thing you can do is just be her friend - be there for her, listen to her, let her talk, cry, etc. what ever she needs. You can talk to her about it but don't try to make her eat or pressure her. Make sure that you take care of yourself during all this and get some support also. Watching a friend go through this can be really hard. You could tell your friend about this message board and see if she is willing to post here as well as find other resources.
