One of my good guy friend of mine is extremely thin, he seldom ever eats and in the last year he's lost a lot of weight he's literally been reduced to skin and bones, he was of average weight before this not at all heavy. It's scary and I wanted to know might he be anorexic? And if so what should I do to help him?

Anorexia can effect any age any sex any race. If you are concerned seek advice from support services.

I'm a thin guy myself and I eat a lot but I'm not anorexic, is he worried about it himself because it doesn't sound like he is, but you are. Try and get him to have a check up at the doctors but don't force him to go just tell him everyone needs a check up just to make sure they're ok. That's what I would do!

It's possible. Talk to him. Talk to a teacher or someone else you trust about it. If he is anorexic, he will need help fast to recover!
Here are some resources on the web to check out.

If he's lost a lot of weight, then it sounds like he might be anorexic. Get him help quickly, because this could kill him. Talk to him first and tell him you're concerned, and then talk to his parents and teachers.

Tell him how you feel and see if he wants help, first.
