Best friend was getting really thin
14 year old female
I rang Kids Helpline because I was worried about my best friend who was getting really thin. She'd stopped eating lunch at school and it had been that way for months. We'd learnt about anorexia in Phys Ed and I was worried she might have it. I tried to talk to her about it, but she just laughed and said she was fine. I didn't believe her, but I had no idea how to help her.
The counsellor at Kids Helpline said it was good that I cared about my friend. She said there might be other worries in her life that were making her stop eating.
So I decided to ask if she wanted to talk about anything. I also suggested she call Kids Helpline too. I'm really glad I had Kids Helpline to help me help my best friend.
