I'm a friend of CeillieS. No, not the friend who's diagnosed, but a more concerned friend...here's the story.
Our friend told us. I simply freaked. Ceillie, not to degrade her or anything, tried to take the matter into her own hands. Ceillie started to treat our friend more like a patient than a friend, and that's what made her feel worse. She started to be even more depressed, and stuff like that. Ceillie told 2 teachers, who are now literally stalking our friend. Ceillie said that she wanted her to go to a psychiatrist. Honestly, I think she went overboard, because it isn't even that serious. She's starting to get better, even without help from a stupid useless psychiatrist appointment. It's really starting to piss me off...because she's always acting as if she's doing the right thing and that our friend isn't upset whatsoever, but how would YOU like it if your friend told teachers to watch your every move and kept telling you to go see a psychiatrist? It's worse enough that our friend's mom is already paranoid. But anyways, back to our friend. She's 94 lbs, and 13 yr. old. I don't know her height. She usually ate an apple, had apple juice, and nibbled on everyone's junk food before she got diagnosed. Now, she almost eats nothing. Today, she didn't have lunch. She thinks that being hungry feels good, and that if you put any food in your stomach you'll feel full, tired, grumpy, etc...so we need guidance on how we should support her WITHOUT trying to lock her away in a mental hospital.

To me it sounds like Ceillie is just worried about your friend. No she shouldn't have told two teachers without permission but hopefully she will learn from that mistake.
This is what I posted in the other thread
I don't have anorexia but I do have an eating disorder so I can understand a little where you're coming from.
A lot of people with eating disorders the problem runs a lot deeper than just not wanting to get fat. If she's had some hard times in the past or dealing with hard times now she might be taking it out on herself. Some people become anorexic because they want to be in control so they take over how much food they eat and what size they want to be but it often spins out of crontrol.
Also if she has struggled with her weight in the past then she might think enough is enough I need to do this.
You need to find out what triggered her eating disorder and help her with that to make her better again.
You can do that yourself without her having to see a perfesional.
But if you can't get her eating again I do advise she sees a doctor because he can give her advice without forcing her to do anything she doesn't want.

Although no one can really help your friend until she decides she wants to get help for her eating problems. If she doesn't recognize that she has an eating problem or an eating disorder, then there's not much other people can do.

I think Ceillie is just trying to help. Seeing a friend who is litterally starving herself to death is very disturbing, and I don't fault her for trying to help. Unfortunately, it is entirely up to the anorexic girl to get help. If she doesn't want to get better, she won't. Sadly, this destructive attitude might kill her, but there really isn't much anyone can do.
