What should I do about my anorexic/druggie friend who wants to have sex?
She's fifteen, and is headed in the wrong direction. I'm a survivor of anorexia, so I know what that alone can do to a person. The drugs and sex stuff I'm not so familiar with, but I'm really worried about her! She's only fifteen, and she's hanging out with some really bad people. She's a good person, but she acts like such a...I don't know...whore, I guess. God, I don't know what to do, but I really want to help her. Any suggestions?

just talk to her, but not in a way that will make her feel inferior. ask her why she is doing this, and talk her through it. tell her how much of a good person she is and remind her why you are her friend and tell her she doesnt need to do these things and tell her youre always there for her. sometimes all people need is to hear that there is someone there for them. if that doesnt work you might have to talk to an adult. i hope you get your friend to stop.
Well, some people would say she's just an attention seeking sl** who genuinely enjoys that kind of thing, others would say it's a cry for help, a consequnce of issues at home either now or earlier; maybe lack of love, approval, physical abuse ...
I'm no expect, but maybe just think hard of any evidence/clues that might point to what, if anything, is wrong so that at least you know what you're dealing with.
Talk to an adult at school or a reliable parent and get her help before its too late. She may hate you in the short run, but that's better than having her get an std or worse, die.
