My friend is anorexic please help me idk what to do.?
okay so he is 16 be turning 17 the fourth of this month and he told me he is anorexic. He barley eats maybe a pack of crackers a candy bar and a pepsi. I told him he needs to eat and he doesn't listen to me. I am so scared that he is going to starve himself to death and he doesn't listen to me. His mom knows but idk what she is doing about it. I am just really concerned about him and idk what is going to happen to him. Also he moved a while back but we do hang from time to time like we don't go to the same school. Just please help me is he going to starve himself to death? I don't want him to die and idk how to approach this, Idk why he doesn't want to eat food is good.

This is a tricky situation for you. Honestly, I doubt he's going to eat because you tell him. This is something his parents are going to have to deal with. And if you hassle him to eat he may just take a disliking to you and ruin your friendship. You can reassure him he's not overweight, but really, that's all I can think of. Perhaps offer him food to see if he'll eat it, but try not mention the anorexia.
