her mum knows and has offerd her to join weight watchers, but shes turned it down because she reckons she starving herself is the better option, and no matter what i say wont change her mind, even if i write some massive essay on why its wrong and how it can affect her.
she tells me every day how many times she vomits etc, and she has no idea how it afffects me. i would do anything to help her, but shes stubborn and doesnt open her eyes.

please tell me how i can help her and what you would do in this situation!

Your friend has an eating disorder. Both bulimia and anorexia. Eating disorders are becoming more and more common due to the media pressuring young girls to try to be perfect. You need to have a long talk with your friend about this. Therapy and group therapy can help. Your friend is in serious danger and needs someone to stand by her and tell her she is perfect the way she is. You need to get her help by any means possible. It might damage your friendship but it could save her life. Eating disorders can lead to starvation, and are often connected with self harm and suicide.

No. No............no, no, no, no, no. You have to get her to a doctor by any means necessary. I can almost guarantee she's not fat. She has a full fledged case of bulimia nervosa, as well as anorexia symptoms. If that means calling 911, then go do it. You are the only one with the power to do this, so take *immediate* action.
