I have a friend who is a very lovely friend. At times she can be slightly possessive over certain people and doesn't like going out in large groups. We discovered about a year ago that she had stopped eating lunch, and since then it got worse, until we were convinced she had an eating disorder. She just does not eat now.

She is also very different around certain people. In large groups of people, even us as her friends, she is silent and tends not to be happy. When she is on her own she is fine. She also is very very confident with boys and gets a new boyfriend regularly. We in the end decided she had insecurity problems and was using this close relationship with boys as almost a barrier, an act of confidence, when really she is not confident.

Finally, we realised she had taken photos of herself naked and put them up on Myspace, a public access site.She is 14 years old.This was the final straw. The day before yesterday, we decided to tell a teacher at school. They phoned her parents, and her parents now know about her eating problems and the naked pictures. Her mum told our teachers to tell us how grateful to us she is and our teachers have told us we were really brave in coming forward.

Problem is, not everyone thinks what we did is positive..some people are trying to make out we did it just to spite our friend. I'm starting to feel terrible. I've heard that her mother can't stop crying and saying what a bad mother she is. We didn't mean to do this..we wanted to help..

Did we do the right thing? I mea we did it because we care about her. She meets epople from MYspace. She could get raped or even killed. And the eating disorder speask for itself. But everyone is being so awful to us for telling now..
