Answer 1

BAD IDEA! this could lead to heart complications. you really should avoid taking them especially if you are that young. that is too much for such a young body. write a note to her mom and don't sign her name. your friend will be mad if she thinks you told on her, but you need to be a good friend and protect her from herself.
i know a 13 yr old that had a heart attack because of diet pills she was sneaking. she lived but it really messed her up.
Do the right thing! I know that you know deep down this is wrong!

Answer 2

if she is only taking one a day she will not die. However, this will greatly mess up her metabolism meaning that when she gets older her body will not burn fat the way it is supposed too leading to her having even more difficulities losing weight. THose pills are not healthy and should be avoided. If you want to be a good friend eat a healthy lunch with her, ask her is she wants to accompany you to the gym. Diet and exercise are the best ways to lose weight. The pills will definitely hurt her in the long run.

Answer 3

ok, well everyone else seems to be saying "No its bad yell at her" but shes your friend, and you still care about her. So, what I would do is to go to her house and ask to borrow some of the pills, but really take the whole bottle. So then just say that your mom found them and got really angry and threw them out. The smart thing about that is, she can't buy any more!!!

Answer 4

She wont die but it damages her body and here are the probabilities:

1) She might not be able to get pregnant
2) She might not be able to grow
3) Or she will have MANY problems and die from them

You should let your friend to stop! Because the Pill is defiantly NOT working

Answer 5

since there isnt any ephedra in it i dont think its really gonna hurt her. a diet a pill is equal to two cups of coffee. i would just try to explain to her that taking those diet pills arent going to help her. (unless shes dieting and exercising) i kno shes only 14 but i think the only reason why u have to be 18 is incase it hurts you and they got sue the company bc shes not an adult. i dont think they will hurt her because shes only taking 1 a day. no she wont die.

Answer 6

enjoy high calorie treats as the accent not the centerpiece

Answer 7

the consequences of taking the pill are hard to determine without knowing the specific pill, but it is def not good for her to do. express your thoughts to her if you can, or consult a trusted professional like a school nurse or counselor. they can help you talk to her and/or her mother. it is not healthy for her to take the pill-she's lucky to have you looking out for her!

Answer 8

She won't died at that dose. But they can certainly do something and I don't know what to her young body. Don't be stupid and take pills without parental or clinician supervision.

Answer 9

think ahead to how youll eat and exercise on the weekends its easy to get too relaxed on saturdays and sundays but healthy living is a 7 day a week endeavor

Answer 10

besides the wild mood swings, Daria and stomach tremors, no, the diet pills cause salts and amino acids to be flushed from her system, she probably wonders why shes so tired all the time ,,huh, well the best exercise is walking
