Stop Dealing This Deadly Drug.

[socialinnocence]

  pro-ana. sound familar? There are thousands of pro-anorexia sites and forums all over the internet. Victims of the ED(Eating Disorder) come together to talk about their "progress" and how to do ana the "healthy way" One of my friends who suffers from the ED once said to me, "Ana is like a drug. It feels so good." Have they all forgotten that

Brooke,

From the bottom of my heart, I give you my best advice. Get help for your friend. Obviously this eating disorder for her has gotten way out of control and she doesn't realize it, or is in the denial stage which is pretty bad. (I'm studying to be a doctor/psychologist, so I've been reading up on some things.) I know when she hears you told a trusted adult, she'll get pissed off, but there will come a point when she'll realize that you helped save her life. And there's nothing better than to help someone live, and show them that they are slowly killing themselves.

I don't know exactly what you can tell the nurse/guidance counselor, but just express to them what you expressed to us. Hopefully, this action will help your friend.

Good luck and I'm here for whenever you need me. Best wishes always...

~Paula

I was gonna say the exact same thing Paula here said. She'll be pissed, but its for the best. Hopefully, she'll realize you cared about her enough to do this <3333

all i can tell you .. is that if you do tell someone, be prepared for her to get mad at you.
i was 13 when i had an eating disorder too .. and it does go a lot deeper than you think
it all started when my boyfriend at the time was joking around and called the the "notorious p.i.g.". it struck a cord and that was it .. i fell into it. and it's hard to get out of once you get into it.
it's more of a control issue than anything ..
then we went on an overnight trip with school for a few days & i couldn't avoid it .. and one of my friends told a teacher that i didn't eat .. so she sat down with me and watched as i ate every last bit of food. needless to say i was pissed.
if you feel that she's really in danger then definitely tell someone .. but just be prepared for the backlash. she's gonna be mad but later on she'll realize that what you did was only to help.
good luck<3

Oh man brooke those pictures are pretty bad. I've been reading your live journal lately and you have been talking about this friend of yours, first off, really shes way to young to be doing that to herself, does she realize how dangerous it is? You need to talk to her, and if that doesnt work she needs to see someone really..Or you need to definitly tell someone about this, she probably will get a little angry with you, but your only trying to help a friend, goodluck with everything and I hope your friend is ok.

Yeah, I've talked to her a bajillion times but she doesn't listen to me. So I'm definitely going to be telling someone this week.

i think you'd be doing her a good thing by getting help, although she might not realize it now and probablly not want to talk to you any more, later on she will be thankfull for it..
go for it not matter if she'd get mad or not..
:) your doing a good thing here..
