Hey I have a friend I am very worried about.first of all she is a virgin and is not pregnant. She is 15 and is very skinny.she weighs around 117 and is about 5'6 or 5'7 she doesnt eat much. she hasnt had her period in 3 months she just told me. Her and her mom are worried. She doesnt know whats wrong. I dont think she feels bad or anyhting but i aint sure. Can someone plz help me here or if you have been through this tell me what happened.

Plz help my friend hasnt had her period in 3 mnths

She's young. Cycles can be off and women tend to skip months. It can be stress related or it just could be hormonal. If she goes a few more months without getting her tell her to see her doctor. They would most likely put her on birth control to regulate it.

thank you I will tell her that. I am a guy so this aint one of the situations where i am talkin about myself but saying my friend. lol But yea i was worried thinking it was health related but thanks for the advice.

it could be because of her low weight. a woman has to have a certain amount of body fat in order to have her period. anorexics are noted for losing their period when they get to a certain body weight/fat percentage.do you think she has an eating disorder?
-
yes she does have a small eating disorder, She thinks she is fat because so many ppl told her that pickin on her because she is skinny. I dont know for sure why they did but she says she does it cause some ppl called her fat. She is prolly the skinniest girl i know. If not then she is close to it.

well i would be a little worried too. a "small eating disorder" can quickly get out of control. i'm glad to hear that her mom is concerned - she needs to stay closely involved and maybe get this girl some counseling.
