Take her to your school guidance counselor.

Why do you need to make her understand that she's beautiful? If she doesn't want to believe you, then isn't that her decision?
It's possible that she does believe you, but if she agrees will come across as vain, and then everyone will tell her that she's up herself! It could be that she's just modest.
As far as how skinny she is - does she look sick, or is that just the way she is? Some people can't put weight on. You say that she's a VERY good friend. If that's so, then support her, and try and find out some facts first.

ok i have friends like this and my brother also dated a girl like this. Girls like this want the attention..but also...they have a problem..you need to address your friend in front of other friends and family and maybe a counsler...
Your friend needs help...also try all going out and getting a make-over and go EAT a HUGE lunch. My brother's ex gf has a condition that she has to take pills for and she is 14 and weighs 96lbs. Her mom the other day told her she had to eat or no new clothes..and she really wanted to go shopping..so the girl ate a burger..which is more then what ate all day.
I would suggest talking to ur friend and then addressing her family and friends...
Good Luck!

Personally she sounds insecure about herself. Is she anorexic? All I can say is continually build her up, compliment her and help her gain some self esteem. If she is having the weight issue though, she probably will need to seek professional help because that is very serious. She is that way for a reason that only she will be able to discover. Stick by her side though..

Buy her lunch, take it upon yourselves to make sure she eats. It sounds like she is insecure about how she looks, and that will go away hopefully with the support of her friends, and a guy to sweep her off her feet, but beware, one crummy guy could ruin the efforts to boost her self-esteem, but it could also boost it. Best advice, just be there for her.

firts of all she has some serious self esteem and confidence issues! she lacks confidence and esteem and that is why she does not believe you and everyone that she is beautiful! i am the same way until i learned to love and accept myself and now i have ton of confidence, self esteem am happy and glowing! second i wasl like your friend trying to be a certain weight at one point in HS but now i love my body-im in college- and take better care of myself! she does not like the way she looks and probably when she looks in the mirror she sees someone who is 15 pounds heavier therefore she thinks she is that! talk to her, talk to her mom and if that does not work you and your friends take her to see and advisor or counselor and explain your situationand why you are worried about your friend and so forth. maybe only then will she realize that she is in denial and that if she does not start taking care of herself no one else will!

you need to tell her that you are concerned because she is your friend. and if she doesn't want to listen then tell her that she could die (if she's anorexic) and that she needs help. and always be in her side because she needs you, she just doesn't show that because she may be afraid of your reaction towards it. and if you just want to let her realize that she is beautiful then tell her that she is, if she does not believe it leave the matter alone. she'll eventually realize it.

She acts like she doesn't cause she probably like the attention and everyone telling her that! Maybe I know people who are like that.
