I want to help her...

[Cormac]

Em... I don't know if this is allowed or not but I wanna help my friend. Basically she doesn't eat. Or rarely eats. When I got really serious about her once with this, she said she's "wannabe anorexic". This of course, scared the hell out of me and I'm now scared for what might become of her if she coninues this way. I want to help her but anytime I tell her to see a doctor or get some help, she just says she doesn't have a problem. How is this not a problem?! :(
Please help me...
Thanks

If she doesn't eat, she's no longer a 'wannabe' anorexic. Is she really not eating, or is she just saying this?

If you're worried about this, and you're pretty sure she's actually got a problem, you have to tell someone (like your folks or hers). Let her know you're worried and you wnat to help and the best way of getting that help is to bring this issue to the attention of her parents. Encourage her to tell them, offer to be there with her when she does. And if she won't, tell her you have to, and do it. It's not snitching, it's saving her.

I agree
You really have to tell someone, sometimes protecting friends from themselves hurts. Especially when you know you did the right thing and you know you helped them, and they are still mad.

Good Luck, Hopefully she will be thankful and not angry, because anorexia is serious and harmful
