Sorry, folks, we try so hard to keep her on a leash.  She just keeps getting loose.  This happens every time she gets near a computer.  Her doctor told us to keep a close eye on her but it is hard to do 24 hours a day.  Hey grannywinkie!!!

I think she might appreciate knowing that she has bugs mating and crawling around in her head. Just start playing with her hair and say "hey, there's something in your hair." If you want to be kind of subtle about it.

She has a problem that needs to be addressed with a lot of sensitivity and caring.  As much as it bothers you to see her with a yucky mouth and wiffy breath, it will just hurt her if you attack her for it.  I don't know about her past but I know for myself, I grew up in a family that neglected to teach me the proper routine of hygene.  And a lifetime of problem can not be fixed overnight.  She needs to relearn an entire new daily routine which could take months and months of dedication and effort which she has to want to do.  So unless she is willing to change and has the (non condeming) daily support of a friend who loves her, she may not change.  Please just love her as she is, and give her the time she needs.

Get her to the doctor! You need to get to the root of the problem rather than putting a band-aid on it, so to speak.

You can't. She has to want to stop herself. You can talk to her, support her, try to find help for her, love her, encourage her. But you cannot make her stop.

Just boost up her confidence.. Tell her she is beautiful and that she doesn't need to do what she does.. Also explain to her that you are worried about her health.. Doing things like that can make you really sick.. I know a girl that's bulimic, she's been for 2 years and now  her hair is falling out.. Explain to her she will look worse in the long run by doing whats she's doing.. Maybe mention to her that she should seek counseling.. Or tell her parents, that's what I had to do...

She could be dehydrated. You should ask your Dr. also re. symptoms of Diabetes, such as a fruity smell to the breath, increased urination , can't recall the rest. Are there control issues at your house? I only ask because an environment where things are either out of control or one or more people are tending to over-control, that is a perfect set-up for eating disorders. Food & it's consumption ( or lack thereof) becomes the one thing the child can have some control over. You'd better seriously lookinto this with someone with expertise in this field, be safe.

Could be a sign of liver problems from all the fast food.  Probably she's not getting enough fiber too.  Take her in for a checkup and lay off the fast food!

Have another serious talk with her saying "Hey I notice you havent been eating much, is everything ok??"  Don't accuse her of neccessarily having anerexia, as that woould put her on the defense...  Now you're coming across as a good concerned friend...  Maybe it has nothing to do with being aneroxic at all, maybe its a sign of depression...  Did she just recently lose someone close to her??  Or maybe a bad breakup??  Or heck maybe she just hasn't been feeling well the last few days...  See what she says...  If it's only been a few days or so since this pattern started and it's pretty sudden, it could be one of the above, just be there for her for the next few days till she slowly gains back her appetite...  IF however this has been an ongoing issue, whether or not she admits it (she'll probably be in denial even with herself) I would then say "well, you might say it's no big deal, but I am truly concerned for you..  I have noticed that all you ate today was a tic-tac and an apple, or whatever, and then tell her this is not healthy...  Mention again what you said about the running and healthy foods, which should be part of any healthy lifestlye, even if your not on a "diet", tell her you want her to help yourelf, but she's gotta do it when she's ready, and in the meanwhile if she ever needs anything to call you day or night to talk (even if it has nothing to do with food, like i said earlier there could be an underlying emotion helping cause this, the best thing you can do is just be there as a friend)...  From there back off for a few days or so, unless you see herself in an immediate life threatning situation, such as she's talking about suicide and stuff...  See if she takes your advice and starts to get help oh her own...  If she doesn't look like she's going to take responsibility for her own actions and seek help on her own, then you might have to...  Maybe go to her again and say "You know I noticed this situation hasn't getting any better (and possibly even worse) You leave me no choice but to go to the authority (whether it be a councelor, school nurse, trusted teacher) myself, that's my duty as a friend...  If you'd like we can go together to talk to them, and I'll be there every step of the way with you, but if you don't come with me, I'm still going to tell them..." She might be mad at you, but in time will thank youo....  Aneroxia is a very seriouos conditioon and needs to be adressed, don't let the possibility of having a friend mad at you, stop you..  I'd rather have a mad friend than no friend, and aneroxia is indeed fatal in the long-term...  Thing is it's one of those slow deaths where your body will just weaken to nothing, but your not going to die from starving yourself one day, many people fast for religious purposes, etc. for a 24-hour period...  Your body has enough fat and nutrients stored that you can survive, but over time, it WILL kill...  PLease talk to her today, don't procastinate...  Good luck to both of you

Take her to the pediatrician ASAP. This could indicate a serious endochrine problem.

Please remember she is sick, she suffers from a disease in the center of her mind. Drinking is but a symptom of her disease, it is just the tip of the iceburg. There is a imbalance in her. There is hope! Take her to a detox center, let her take a week to get over the effects of th alcohol in her system, she needs to stabalize, then to recognize her condition. If she can understand that she is powerless over alcohol, she can start a life long journey, one day at a time, to permenent sobriety. A A is the only way she is going to learn the tools she needs to do this. You need to get help as well, Alonon is were you need to be, to learn your tools to recovery. A A was wrote by two people in 1939, since then over two million people have recovered thru this program. 120 different self help groups have been formed using A A principles. A A is in over 100 countries, and has published millions of books, they are very cheap to buy. These numbers are growing every day, it must be doing something right. What do you have to lose? Try it. Remember she is sick, and you would not pinch the I.V. line keeping her alive at the hospital, right?

You can't force her to gain weight. All you can do is encourage her to eat right and excercise and be happy with who she is on the inside.
