Please Read: My friend ANOREXIA
I have a friend that's been struggling on and off with anorexia. She only tells me AFTER. She never tells me during the times when she's not eating. I don't notice because she does this over breaks. I'm scared. I'm leaving for a few weeks this summer and I feel like I need to be here for her. I talked to her on the phone, but didn't see her last week, when she was struggling with it, but she didn't tell me until today. I don't know what to do. I swore to secrecy, but if the keeps up I may have to tell someone. I have a really close friend in another grade who had anorexia. Maybe she could help, but I don't know if I should tell her. I'm the only one who knows about it. She said she wouldn't do it again, but that's what she said last time. I told her she could trust me, but she's still not going to anyone with this. She doesn't eat for days and her mom doesn't notice. Also she's already underweight. I feel like I should tell someone, but then I might lose her trust and friendship. I'm leaving for 2 weeks in a few days with limited cell phone service. I won't know if it gets bad. Please I need advice.
