katyasha - The problem about telling someone is that I wouldn't know who to tell. Her parents (she's only fifteen, I think) have joint custody, or something worked out. I don't know her mother and have no way to contact her. The soonest I'd be able to contact her father wouldn't be for a number of months (after this "fasting period" of hers) as I've moved. I could tell some mutual friends, but I'm not sure they really care what choice she makes.

Fey - Thank you! I'll be sure to let her know.

Kiddiss - I told her that the children in Africa won't care that she's starving herself and that it would be sort of like a slap in the face to them, since she's WILLINGLY giving up food while they are FORCED to have little to nothing to eat. I really don't think she cares about that, it was just as added excuse because she knew how I would react to the other "reason."

I told her it could be dangerous and harmful, though I really don't believe she fully understands the consequences that could come with starving herself. I'll try finding pictures and information to share with her in the hopes she'll pay some attention to it.

I know for a fact that she suffers from body image issues (she's openly admitted to it in the past and has shown signs through her actions). I feel like using that line, at least, would just be something she'd turn off in her mind, you know? Like most kids do when someone tries to say peer pressure (even if it's you pressuring yourself and not someone else actually pressuring you to do it) isn't always a good thing.

I don't know any person she looks up to, really, though she may have a boyfriend I could try talking to. >.<

Zerook - Fasting for a month can't be healthy for anyone. And, for those cases where fasting for short periods of time IS a good thing, it's been recommended by a doctor. Right? I am worried and I have tried talking to her about it but I seem to be going nowhere fast.

momo the peachy - That's what I was wondering, honestly. If the other person was being truthful. But I feel that shouldn't really matter, it's what she decides to do with that information that matters.

Thank you, everyone. I'll try talking to her some more and keep harping her about the health hazards.
