Like 90% of the people in my school dressed up, including me, but that's besides the point.I have a friend who's a bit overweight, but she's super sweet, and this rude girl in our class said to her, "Hey, what are you dressed up as? OH I KNOW! You're dressed as a fatass!", and she even had the animosity to say this AGAIN in the next class.My friend's always been really sensitive about her weight and in the past she's starved herself and been involved in binge-eating and we've all persuaded her to stop and she did, until today! All because of that bitch!The entire day my friend was really depressed. She kept saying she was determined to lose 30 pounds by the end of the month, or something ridiculous like that. She said she didn't wanna eat! I told her that that would make her metabolism slower and actually have the opposite effect, but she didn't listen!I'm really really scared she's gonna starve herself, just because she's really sensitive and some bitch insulted her!I told her to eat healthy and to exercise, but she says she'll only eat vegetables...!?I need help :( What can I say to my friend to make her feel better and prevent her from starving herself?

 First off I know how that girl feels I was bullied in school because of my weight and glasses. But what you need to tell her and what this girl need to realise is that if this Bully sees that she's trying to lose weight really quickly the BULLY HAS WON. She'll be able to see that she got to your friend and she'll keep pestering her and it could get worse. The main thing I suggest is that if she feels like she wants to lose a few pounds that's fine go take Kick boxing classes or go to the gym eat more healthily But don't deprive yourself of what you want. Like have a candy bar every once in a while.SecondlyYou should maybe talk to the princapal or talk to her parents about this. They maybe able to help her out and maybe sort this bullyGood Luck :) XXX
