when she is just laying there tanning you can see some of her ribs and her hip bones. I just don't want her to hospitalized. and I'm sorry she's 5'2.5

Answer 1

Tell her she's not fat, make sure she knows that you think she looks good, healthy, pretty, that you don't like it when girls are too skinnny and unhealthy looking. If you suspect a serious problem, anorexia or bulemia, please seek professional help with her. Good luck!

Answer 2

Good for you! Please help her by understanding this first...

At 14, ouridentity is very much based on what people say about us - friends, family and the messages we get from magazines. Our need to "fit in" is ok but it should never compromise our ability to think independently.

This is not really a weight issue. It's a confidence issue.

GF is trying to look beauitful (I'm sure she is=0) by gaining some control over her body, so that she can gain some measure of approval and praise from the people whom she respects. They could be her friends, her family, *you*

Unfortunately, her friends are not doing her any good. True friends don't cut one another down.

Help her to realise that she is uniquely beautiful. Give her healthier role-models on TVs and magazines. Give her poor role models on TVs and magazines too, so that she can judge for herself what "healthy beauty" looks like.

You can also gently reveal to her how her "friends" are letting her down and she deserves better and have the courage to leave the clique to find better friends.

Answer 3

People who call other people names deserve to ge thte **** kicked out of them. Its very rude and cause many serious deaths of suicide.

People who Make fun of other people normally feel sad inside, and need alot of help. Likewise as to bullys.

Under 100Lbs at 14? Thats almost normal for models...For a normal weight for a girl at 14 i would say 110-1120, thats a perfect size, IMO.

Answer 4

it depends on how tall she is, age really doesnt have much to do with it. But honestly i doubt she is fat, unless she is like 3ft nothing, then she could be, but i doubt that you would be asking this question if that were true, as for her friends you need to make them realize what they are really doing to her, and if they are REAL friends then they will stop what they are doing.

Answer 5

well if her frends say shes fat then they arent verry good frends... and do u think she is? it depends on how she feels about it... but if she looks like she would be in trouble [skinny wise] then just take her out to mcdonalds or something

Answer 6

She might have an eating disorder. You may have to get professional help! Maybe if you suggested she get professional help, she would take your concerns more seriously.:)

Answer 7

It doesn't matter how old she is.
HOW TALL IS SHE?

Even if she's underweight, it doesn't mean she's anorexic.
Some people are just naturally skinny.

But use this to see if she's TOO skinny...
