Other Answers:
i'm afraid there's nothing more you can do : ( but moral support can do a lot of good things. just make sure she knows she's beautiful to you no matter what because you're her friend and that stuff doesn't matter. maybe you could encourage her other friends to do the same.
You can't make her stop. But you can contact her family & other friends & do an intervention. Give her all the info you can on the effects of bulimia, on a body and on people's lives.
Just keep being her friend.
Suggest a councelor. If you really care about her, which it sounds like you do.... get her professional help. This is very serious and I hope you realize that her life is in your hands!
You can't make her stop, so there really isn't MUCH you can do. If she isn't going to a counselor, you could maybe find her one and try and make her attend a session with her? But be nice - your friend will clam up if you're too insistant.
she's lucky to have a friend like you! but she needs professional help the sooner the better try to get her to talk to her school counselor or parents you may have to initiate that step and she made get upset with you for doing it but she need help and if it goes on long enough she could die so you need to share this with someone!
counseling
