What can I do to help her?

[YoManGo!]

feed her high-calorie bars and tell her they're weight loss aides, like in mean girls.

Talk to her parents, as soon as you can. Bulimia kills many persons a day.
Don't let her that happen, theire parents will be greatfull with you all theire lifes for saving their daughter.

It's a life, not a joke.

Tell her parents, she obviously needs help,
she may not thank you now,
but when she's better
she'll realsie you did the right thing

i swear u posted this before!! cause last time i told u to empty out her slimfast, so erm...don't tell her parents!! make sure it's okay with her first, cause she may fall out with ya and it'll make her go worse and you wont be able to do anything....

You need to tell her that she needs help because even if she feels she's in control of it now she'll become worse and more ill then she is now and that isn't worth being skinny and having control over something when there is loads of things she could have control over in her life that won't hurt her or anyone around her.

Tell her that she needs to tell her parents or a counsellor or you'll tell them yourself, I know you promised her that you wouldn't but it's for the best at the end of the day.

Tell her parents?

I'm really confused as to why, if it's been like this for some time, her parents haven't noticed? Or any relative? Or teacher?

If you can't face up to her and tell her you're worried, and how it is, then you're not the friend you think you are. Imagine if you were them, wouldn't you want to be told what your friends are thinking? Then, if she doesn't listen, at least you know you've tried. (You could even try telling her that if she doesn't try to get help, you'll get it for her - give her an ultimatum and let her know you're just looking out for her.)

If she doesn't listen, let her parents know, or a teacher, a learning mentor, just anybody with a little more authority than you - then something will have to get done, because she will only end up becoming seriously ill.

Good luck!

I have told her I'm worried and how it is, she doesn't listen to me.

I had a talk with her today and she walked away from me, she said 'you're not my friend, you're against me'

And by the way, yes, I have posted about this subject before, but that's the other friend I'm on about, she was hospitalized due to extremely low weight and she was, and still is, anorexic.

It sounds like she has a severe case of Bulimia.
I'm no doctor, I could be wrong.
Keep up what you are doing, at this time she needs comfort.
Make sure she doesn't get put down, that could damage her confidence even more and result in her getting worse.
Offer to take her to her GP, and speak to some adults about it, getting it out in the open will make her feel so much better.

My best friend went through this, it is just as common for males. She didnt eat for 4 days then forced herself to be sick because her ex was calling her fat. Is your friend being pick on? Friends, school or siblings? This is most likely the main trigger. There is also a sense of controll when you do it, but if you allow her to do it for too long it will escalate into a compultion making it alot harder to "cure".
