first of all, I'm very proud of you for eating that apple. But, hun, an apple isn't enough. And you ended up taking the diet pills, and you cut yourself, so I think we both know that you need help. You seriously do. I'm not gonna fuss at you or anything for taking the diet pills and for cutting yourself, but I am gonna beg you to go to the doctor!! I used to cut myself, too. And I still hurt my body at times by hitting myself and stuff. And occasionally I leave a bad scratch on my hand, and I have on pretty nice cut on it right now. But I promised my sister that if I ever started "cutting" again then I'd tell her or get some help or whatever.

I don't know why I ever told her in the first place!!
Melissa, please tell your mom the truth. Please go to the hospital!! Or if you can get into some kind of therapy that will help you then go for it, but please just get help, Melissa.
You are so sweet, and I think you are a super nice person, and I don't want you to die!! You don't understand that if you starve yourself to death, you aren't just killing yourself, but you're hurting a lot of other people. And if you care about me, I know you wouldn't want to hurt me. So please go to the hospital or wherever you need to go to get help. And I will be here to support you. I will encourage you as much as possible. Please, Melissa. I really don't want anything to happen to you!! You're a great friend. And you make me feel cared about too. And what will I do when I really need someone my age to talk to, but she's too sick to talk to me because she wouldn't eat anything. Please, please don't let that happen.
I got this in an e-mail, and I think you need to read it.
1.There are at least two people in this world that you would die for.
2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.
3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just
like you.
4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like
you.
5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.
6. You mean the world to someone.
7. You are special and unique.
8. Someone that you don't even know exists, loves you.
Take care, and please get help!!
And if you do go to the hospital, let me know how things are going when you back!!
