    Have you offered her food? A lot of people are having trouble in the economy. Is the problem that she can't afford lunch? Or will she not eat even though she can get food?

    JustCurious55,I do offer her food,and she eats it fine!but she has been having trouble in her family with money,but I'm sure they can afford her lunch,but yet she doesn't bring her food a lot! I know it doesn't really sound like she has a problem,but if she is going to eat my food,then she needs to bring her own lunch!And today, was the only day out of the whole week she had broughten her own lunch,which isn't good.. but she eats FINE at home,and her parents don't know that she doesn't eat her lunch.So I've decided to talk to someone about it,did I make the right choice about going to talk to someone about it?

    Also she is fairley skinny,and she even admitted it!Her wrists are soooooo tiny,they make my wrists like huge,and she's getting skinny,I talked to one of my friends about it,and they also said that she is getting skinny,and I showed them her wrists,and my other friend said that her wrists were veryy skinnyyy which is true!I just think its not good for her to only bring her lunch once a week,and she gets skinny,because last year I had weighed several more pounds than her,and she's taller than me!

    It's good that you're concerned about your friend, I'm just not sure I'm clear on what exactly the problem really is. How are you so sure that they can afford to provide food for her? And how do you know that she eats fine at home? Do you spend a lot of time at her house? Is it that she's just forgetting her lunch? Or is she deliberately not bringing it?

    In any event, getting an adult that you can trust involved is always a good idea. I think no matter what the real problem here is that you made the right choice by talking to an adult.

    Well your right,I'm not positive that they can't afford lunch,but (I know this is weird)but I'm always texting her and ill just say what are you doing?and she will say eating lunch,and they usually pick up food,which costs money!So in some way I think if they can pay for food,then I think they can make her lunch.. I know that sounds typically wrong,but I'm always telling her to go get in line and get some food,and she will just shake her head nooo... which is never good because she needs to eat!I got in a fight with her about it,and she was thirsty,well I'm tired of sharing my food with her,so I said,then bring your own drink! and she said,I'm not just going to pack a drink just to put in my lunchbox!So I told her then pack your lunch,and I don't think she said anything after that.But what scares me the most,is that this week,she only brought her OWN lunch for 1 day!! She needs to bring her lunch EVERYDAY!(sorry if that's confusing)
