I have a friend who's almost 19 and nearly 6 ft tall. She think's she's fat and is about 160 lbs. She keeps coming to me and asking for advice. I'm a little worried she might have a body image problem. I don't think she's fat, but I can guess being that tall and a girl would probably have it's own set of problems. She's great at things like volleyball and sports, but she keeps telling me how she never feels good enough. Whenever I ask her things like, "good enough for who?" She just shurgs..... I don't know how to respond to that: maybe she doesn't want me to?
She picked the worst person to come to when she asked me. I'm horrible with this type of stuff. At the same time, I don't want anyone to unjustly suffer. I don't know much about the topic, but I understand that body image stuff can lead to eating disorders, which are bad news.....
Question #1
Is she fat at 5'11 ish and about 160lbs?
Question #2, 3
If she is, then what can I do to help?
If she isn't, then what can I do to help?

IF U DONT THINK SHE'S FAT SHE ISNT
PEOPLE OF ALL SHAPES & SIZES LOOK GOOD; I THINK ANNA NICOLE WAS GORGEOS & HOW BIG WAS SHE!
JUST TELL HER TO EAT HEALTHY & GET SOME KIND OF EXCERCISE
YOU'RE A GOOD FRIEND FOR BEING SO CONCERNED :)

She's just about the right weight for her height-just ignore her comments for your peace of mind. Deep down you know she's wrong anyway. Change the topic when it comes to her weight.
