i never see her eat any more.
i havnt for like the past two weeks.
not at school, lunch time anything.
and if she ever has food she always gives it away.

and shes always says shes fat.
we got our school photos today,
and all she did was complain about how fat she was.

should i be worried at all?

You probably should be a little worried, but don't freak out until you have proof of somethin.My friends don't eat much either and they're fine.

Hmm, sounds like she may have a problem then. If you see her at all losing weight, start interrogating her, and try to get her help. It is likely she has a problem.

Well not exactly often times eating can relate to sleep loss, irratibility and stress so I would encourage her to eat just a little bit. A maybe take her to the gym (no offense) and work out together

I'd be slightly worried, but without being obvious or over-protective, keep an eye on her. Loads of people say they are fat, and don't eat much in public. One of my friends was an anorexic, but was VERY subtle about her tactics. Another of my friends, never eats around me, and i've heard him moan about his weight loads. But he doesn't have a problem. Just loves the attention, although he does think he is a bit overweight. He's not. But he's fine. Just try and keep an eye on her, if things get worse, then take some action. Just be there for her. In the long run that's all you can do.

I'd advise against interrogation. If she seems in good health, it's possible that she's just not eating in public... which is a quirk, but not really a problem.

If she starts looking unwell, then you're certainly entitled to ask if she's feeling okay.

You probably shouldn't push her to eat - eating disorders are rarely actually about food, and if she feels like you're pressuring her, she may close herself off. Watch out for if she seems to be having any emotional problems - and then just be there for her no matter what.
