Well you can't control someone else, but if this continues talk to the school counselor and make an anonymous report. The fact that you told her crush was kind of mean though, why would you do that to a friend if you are worried about her? Doesn't seem right. At any rate just b/c she's not eating doesn't mean she's anorexic. People can fast for days and days to detox their bodies, teenagers appetites can change, there are lots of other reasons she might not be eating. Also, sometimes people need to experiment with different "dieting" techniques (I put that in quotes since its not really healthy dieting) just to see what happens and what works best for them. If she starts losing a noticible amount of weight, or you think she migh be throwing up, then I would say try to find her some help. I think most of all, if you do have to confront her again about this, do it with her privately first instead of telling her crush, that's not being a very supportive or sympathetic friend.

You should tell her parents or a school guidance counsler about her not eating. Don't make a big deal out of her not eating yourself for this will just worsen the problem. When I was dealing with weight issues from lossing a lot of weight due to my appendix bursting people used to make a huge deal out of me gaining the weight back and always telling me to eat it made it seem like it was such a chore and it made me depressed which was not good. Just tell her that you are sorry that you informed her crush that she likes him but you just figured that there are certain chances in life you get and if you don't take the risk you will always end up wondering what will happen.

You need to tell her parents cause she could die if she does not eat. Let her be mad in the end she will thank you for helping her out. You are trying to save her life. I am so sorry you are going through something like this with your best friend. I hate this for you and her.

explain to her why your so worried. Tell her that she'll end up sick. Is there a reason why shes not eating? Find out what it is and work on the problem. She'll get over being mad when she cools off and realizes that you just care what happens to her.

She'll get over it. Calm down and don't make a big deal about it and neither should she.
Tell her you did what you had to do and if she had been in YOUR place she would have done the same. Because you love her. ( like a sister, of course )

Tell the guidance counselor at school (if you go to school). otherwise, tell an adult NOW. Your friend needs professional help. Of course she's going to be mad at you, but when she gets the treatment she needs, she'll realize you babbled because you cared about her. Don't hesitate--TELL SOMEONE before she does something awful!

Ok, I'm not a girl, but it sounds like this is either her first or maby there might be something wrong with her mentally. Basically society says that you gotta be a twig if you wanna be sexy. I know a lot of guys that would like to pick a fight with society because of it. Tell her that he likes her for who she already is- NOT for what she's trying to become.
