She's going to have serious health issues.I'm concerned about her.She needs to take better care of herself.It's disgusting.

Answer 1

Tell her that she is getting "Festively Plump" or "Big Boned" and that she needs to either get Lipo, excersize, or eat some salad.

Answer 2

sound like she is going through bad health practice, i think the only way it to tell her mother, discuss it with her mother and it should be the mothers job to keep her child healthy. i am sorry and please take my advice

Answer 3

Really?  How old are you?  I don't think that if you are still in grade school it would be appropriate for you to tell her this.  I am sure she is aware of it herself.  If you really want to help and think you have to say something, talk to your mom.  She may be able to speak to this girl's mom about it.

Answer 4

Invite her for a sleep over and do makeovers.

Cut her nails. And polish them like a nail salon.

Tell her to wash her hair so you can style it.

Have only healthy snacks.

She will learn to like it and you will be grooming her at the same time.

She wont know!!

But hopefully she will learn that she feels alot better when she is clean.

Answer 5

Why not ask the school nurse to talk to her? You might mention that you go to the dentist regularly and he recommends brushing and flossing twice a day. Ask her  if she does that. If she says, "No," you can mention her bad breath and go on from there about her hygiene,

Answer 6

She's probably already aware of it. There's a graph thing on the Washington Post website that you can be like "Wow, look at this" in a hint-hint way.

Answer 7

invite her to your house and say you guys are playing a game.first have her clean herself(completely).then say that for a couple of weeks she has to follow this diet[that you wrote] and say that's part of the game.if she doesn't fall for it call her mom or parent and tell them to take her to a doctor immediately.

Answer 8

Talk to a school counselor. She is not taking very good care of her self. You don't have to provide her with food.

Answer 9

ok her weight is her issue not urs. I would let that one go. As for the rest is their a teacher or nurse you could talk to about your concerns and that you are worried about her and what is going to happen socially to her? You bring it up and a good chance it is bye bye friendship

Answer 10

Despite what you think, she probably knows about the overweight problem, so you pointing it out, would just make things worse.  Maybe she knows, but right now doesn't care.  That's the problem, she has to care about changing that part of it.   As for sharing food, just don't do it.  You can say well I don't want to this time, or I really want this cookie, you don't have to share with her.

As for her teeth and general hygiene problems, I think some of the other suggestions about telling the school nurse and having her tell would be a better situation then you coming out and doing it.  She may have no idea how to take care of herself, or there could be something else at work where she just doesn't care.

Answer 11

I am sure that she is regularly disgusted with herself, for her Friend to highlight the fact will just make her feel really, really low. you could sugest that you both start an exercise programme or healthy eating thing, but take care and be vry subtle.
