hey guys. maybe you dont really know me so well, but i'm
hoping that some of you will take the time to read this and
maybe give me some advice. it would mean a lot to me.

here's the situation (quite dramatic, please bare with me):

there's this girl from ontario i've been talking to over the
internet and on the phone for a few years now. She is still
quite young and very insecure. Her parents are divorced and
treat her very badly. She's intelligent, but school isnt
going well because of her emotional problems. Shes hanging
out with the wrong people. People who have abused her for
being young and clueless about many things, including
excessive use of alcohol and all sorts of drugs. This got to
the point where she became addicted to a numer of things.
The reason why this is not just bad, but pretty much as bad
as it gets, is because her physical condition is going down
fast. She's been suffering from asthma, ADD, eating
disorders and a lot of other things the doctors are very
unclear about. She takes loads of medication. To stop her
from passing out, to make her sleep, to make sure she wont
stop breathing, anti depressants etcetera. This, in
combination with heavy depression, a very negative
self-image, lack of love from parents, relatives & friends,
drug & alcohol abuse is making her lose all faith in
herself, other people and the future. She is in pain most of
the time. One thing she really loves is modern dance. The
problem is, that fat dancers dont exist. She is skinny as
anything, and yet the dance teachers tell her to lose weight
and wear a corset which fucks up her back really badly. To
her mom, dance is everything so she no longer feeds her
daughter. She literally locks cupboards, or hides food.
Sometimes friends would give her some food, but her
condition got to the point where she couldnt eat anymore
without getting sick. She is now so skinny that she looks
like she could collapse at any time, and still nobody helps
her.

I'm afraid that she is dying. She says she is in pain
constantly and

the rest of your post got cut off son, but here is what I
have to say.

you're either in or your out. Frankly, I assume that you
guys talk on the phone/internet, that you are a person she
dumps a lot of her problems onto.

I don't know why you care about her, and that is not my
business.

If you do care, this girl sounds like she needs help. She
needs a dream she can achieve and a healthy path to get
there.

In short, she needs to get completely out of her own life.

If her parents lock the cabinets so she will not eat, that
is called child abuse.

To be perfectly honest, there is nothing you can do, except
help her break the cycle. There is nothing you can do to
help her but encourage her to get the hell out.

There is nothing that will make this better but getting the
hell out. Go to one of those programs for drug abusers, get
a job accross the country, boarding school, something.

If she doesn't get out, she might not physically die, but it
sounds like her soul might. Letting go, getting out and
starting over is the only chance at a second chance at
life.......

warms regards and well wishes,
George

hmm hard to give advice when you don't know the situation
first hand, but what BlatantEcho said was pretty accurate to
what I would say.

how old is htis person?

if her parents are not allowing her to eat food, depending
on her age child welfare could (should) intervene...
