Q: Bulimic friend - skipped period - how can I help?

My friends bulimic, I know she had low self-esteem but i didn't think it was that low. i'm really scared for her because she has a really strong will power and will probably keep up with this until shes bone thin.
I know shes not the skinniest of people but i didn't think it botherd her. She also used to self harm & as i've found out from research bulimia can make people depressed so I think she might start again.
She claims she hasn't been doing it for that long, but a few weeks ago she said she'd skipped a period & because i know shes a virgin it cant be pregnancy.
I know shes going to end up hurting herself but she thinks shes fine & she thinks she doesn't need help.
What am i supposed to say Sad

Have you tried talking to her before? I think how you said it in your letter is perfect. "I'm really scared for you because I am worried you're going to go downhill and hurt yourself permanently with bulimia or self harm." Then just listen. Maybe a cool teacher or a school counselor could help?
