I think my friend has MANOREXIA!

Okay. So I'm really worried about my friend. I think he might have an eating disorder. At the end of this past school year he weighed 124 pounds, and now he told me he only weighs 80 pounds! And that's seriously scaring me. When we talk on AIM he is always saying how hungry he is, and how he hasn't eaten for days. I want to talk to him, in person. That makes more sense to me than on AIM or even on the phone. I'm afraid that if I don't talk to him soon, it might be too late. I'm also worried that he might not think he has an eating disorder, because eating disorders are stereotyped as a "women's disorder." I feel that I can help him with this problem, hopefully. But what if this is what my dream from the other day was trying to tell me, that I'm not the best to help. But I can't just sit here and watch him starve himself to death. Yes, its true, people can die from eating disorders if they go untreated, or in men's cases, undiagnosed. I don't know what I'm doing, when I'm on AIM I told him I think I might have an eating disorder. I have no idea what I was thinking when I did that. I think I'm gonna ask him if we can hang out next time he's on AIM. Then we can talk, and sort things out. I need to help him, if I don't....I just don't know what I'm gonna do. I'm worried, really truly worried.

OH MY GOD! I'm such a freaking jerk! I just had the worst thought ever. I was thinking that if he doesn't come to school or something because of his eating disorder, then I'll be the smartest in the class. I quickly shook that from my mind. I'd rather have him healthy and graduate second, then have him sick and *gulp* dying and graduate first. Sorta. Ohmygod! I'm such a dirtball! I can't believe my brain is even capable of thinking such horrible thoughts. I took that horrible thought back the second I thought it. I really just don't know what to do if he doesn't want to talk. I can't just sit here while he starves himself to death.
