lol Take her to the store and pick out things with heavily scented perfumes and say, i use this, you should try it. It works great and smells so good. But leave out the part where you're just doing it because she smells and you can't stand it.

Make sure you tell her you deserve an explanation for her distance. This is important. You have the right to know why she no longer wishes to be a part of your life. Just pull her to the side nicely or if you can catch her alone even better and just be like, "Hey, I've noticed you've been distant lately, is there anything wrong...did I do something to upset you?" Then if she doesn't wanna talk or explain herself, tell her "I deserve an explanation and I'll only try this once if your gonna give me the cold shoulder. I care about you enough to address the situation, but if you don't wanna be my friend anymore, at least have the decency to inform me like a woman". After this. just do what's in your heart. Go your separate ways and look into other options in friends. Someone is out there in the same boat as you and you'll find a new BFF soon. Good Luck!

If she's your "BFF" you NEED to tell someone so she can get some help.  She may be mad at first, but I think she'll come to understand that as a friend you are almost obligated to help her.  In fact, the fact that she told you that she is anorexic could be a cry for help, in her own little way, without actually asking for it.  \n\nThe fact of the matter is that anorexia is a BIG problem...a life threatening one, at that.  You may save her life.  Would you be able to live with yourself if something awful happened, knowing that you could have potentially saved her life if only you told someone...\n\nIf you love her, tell someone...she'll thank you one day...

Don't be too afraid about that.  If he/she is your best friend, you won't be able to say almost anything to offend him/her.

Dealing with a depressed friend is never easy.  I know all about it.  My best friend in the whole world has suffered with deep depression since her car accident last August.  It is difficult sometimes to find the right words to say to her.  I keep telling her to look at her positives and don't focus so much on her negatives, perhaps this will help your friend.  \n\nYou may want to approach him to do some investigative work to pinpoint for his ownself what person(s) or thing(s) make him feel depressed about.  Then after he does this, ask him if there is anything he could change to correct the problems.  If he says "no there isn't" then ask him to make a list of all of his good points and acknowledge all his accomplishments in life.  See if you can focus on the good and positive things in his life as opposed to his negative things.\n\nAlways encourage your friend as best as you can.  Be willing to listen to him and be as positive as you can not only with him but with yourself.\n\nLet him know that you care very deeply for him and let him know that you will support him with all of his decisions.\n\nEvery once in awhile, mention to him about therapy and seeing a doctor about his depression.  Medications and therapy go hand in hand.\n\nGood luck to you and your friend!  I hope he feels better soon!

Whatever you say make sure u mean it..... Just let your friend know if he or she needs any help ...such as help around house yard w/kids running errands u r willing  and ready. That way your friend can concentrate more on getting well.  If your friends wants to talk  about their illness  truly listen.   Most importantly by all means, do not treat your friend any different than you have in past.

Short of committing her to a mental facility where they can hose her down you are unfortunately stuck between a rock and a hard place. If you telling her isn't working maybe you could try an intervention with close family and friends, the embarrassment may do her good in the long run.\n\nGood luck!!

dang, dont sound much like a best friend to me. tell her that you dont like that she lies to you and you cant be best friends with someone you can't trust. tell her that that has been bothering you for a long while and wish you could have that special best friend trust with her or it just isn't going to work out, because if she lies so much to you now, its only going to get worse. you might want to mention to her about her breath too.. haha jk!

i would tell her....you having these feelings and holding it in is already changing your friendship more than you realize, but be carefull how you go about it coz sometimes nothing good can come out friendships evolving into more espeacialy if she doesnt feel the same.\n\nid suggest a strait forward conversation with your friend.    \n                                goodluck!

be honest. If she knows she is bipolar then tell her how you feel. If you just think she is, then ease her into what you want her to know. Let her feel like she is a special person, but for someone else. Let her know you will be there for her to talk and be friends. Unless you are friends and you don't want to be, then you might need a mediator, if she is as violent as you say, then you need a mediator either way. Just keep it friendly and safe, possibly away from brakable stuff. Just be honest in the best possible way. another thing, doing it over the phone or on line is being a coward. Also, if she is bi polar and you get harsh with her, she will take it as a personal attack which will only make things worse.

That's one of life's awkward moments.\n\nBut she should be told,,\nshe may not be aware of how offensive her breath is.\n\nBe considerate and polite,,and talk with her in PRIVATE.\n\nNotice I said,,'Talk with her"\nand not "TELL HER"\n\nThat's an important difference in how you tell people about sensitive matters. \n\nStart by explaining to her that You ARE her friend,,\nand You are NOT criticizing her.\n\nLet her know that the subject is embarrasing both of you.\n\nBut you are telling her because You think she needs to know.\n\nIf it was YOU,,,You would want to know,Right?\n\nYou would feel bad if nobody Told You,,\nthen you heard somebody talking about it behind your back.\n\nBad breath can be caused by many things besides just not brushing teeth..\nSome things are pretty  serious medical conditions.\n\nShe could have a bad tooth,gum infection,,a sinus infection,,lots of things.\n\nIt WILL be awkward for You to start talking about it,,,\nbut soon you will relax and she WILL appreciate that \nYOU cared enough about her\n to put yourself on the spot to HELP her.\n\nIt's never Fun or Easy to do something like that.\n\nIf YOU can smell it,so can everybody else.\n\nAnd if she dont Know,,somebody will eventually hurt her feelings or embarrass her real bad.\n\njust Be Kind,,and You'll be Fine:)\n\nGood Luck,,to You & your friend

The best way to tell her is to take her aside and tell her the situations that you've witnessed. Be on her side and support her. Tell her that you understand that she can't help who she likes but you hope that she'll get over this guy because he's so rude about he behind her back and she deserves more than that. It would probably hurt her more to think that this guy genuinely likes her and find out that you didn't tell her. Tell her alone and be ready with the cookie dough and tissues. I hope you are able to tell her and support her!
