Wow you just have one problem after another w/ this girl. First her parents don't "respect" you, and now your GF is going through the "i have to look good" phase. Sucks to be you!

Yes I am, and damnit I hate it but I actually care about her... Can't just leave her hanging 🙁
 
This girl is bulemic and it is very very dangerous. She can do tremendous damage to her body. She needs help for sure and considering she is 16 you have to go to her parents. You will most likely lose her as a friend trying to help her, at least for a period.

She's really acting her age, isn't she?

At 16, yes.

I thought you said she's your GF, and in your "Girl's Mom" thread, you say your GF is 17. Which is it?

16, typo'd there and didn't catch it until later, already to many reply's and it didn't much matter.

I see...well, hope you are able to help her.
 
I've told all her friends, and we have all discussed it... We all talked to her about it, and everyone's going to work together to make sure she starts gaining weight, and she agrees with us...

And we also agreed if it does not get better, we'll drag her to the doc.
 
I'm afraid its too late for that. People with this disorder are more cunning than a drug addict in the ways they can hide their behavior. You and you friends mean well, but she needs PROFESSIONAL help NOW!!

I understand she may feel betrayed and it will affect your relationship in the short term. But if you care for this girl at all, talk to her parents tomorrow. You have to period
 
We weighed her today, 117... Thought you guys should know.

And yeah, we've all just watched her close, made her eat when we knew she needed to but wouldn't... We're going to get her back to 120, and then just sit back and watch, she starts dropping, we'll go to pro's...
 
apparently she had some stuff with her to make her weigh more on the scale, shoulda checked her pockets, 113, I told her mom, she dumped me, her mom called a private treatment center, and she hasn't talked to me since.

her words were "She hates me for ruining her life and hopes I burn in hell." Hope she one day realizes it's cuz I care.
 
if her goal is to look like this she might as well just shoot herself now, because the death would be less agonizing

but i feel i should put something in thats constructive

(from the few posts i've read) good job on watching her and careing for her

i still don't get why women feel they need to be stick skinny, its discusting

*PIC MAY NOT BE SAFE FOR WORK*

Must have been tough🙁 , but absolutely the right thing to do!

And hang in there, I'm pretty sure she will realize one day soon that you are her best friend🙂.

girls think too much about their weight and I really don't know why. I have a friend who is 4' 11" and she was 100. Really skinny. The minimum weight for her height, according to her, is 95. She finally got to that weight. I'm almost willing to bet she didn't lose much fat, but just muscle. I don't get why people dont' understand that weight doesn't mean fatness.

Oh, and sorry, I have no real advice for you.

She's too skinny now. She could gain 10 pounds and be ok.

Reminder her the no one finds super skinny people like Nicole Ritchie and Lindsay Lohan attractive. Tell her that ribs aren't sexy.
 
News FLASH: All girls obsess over their weight, when she brings it up tell her she looks great and change the subject
