There is a young girl in our class that just turned 19. Anyway, she is a major pothead which in all honesty I could care less about. But she is also on ADD meds, severely bulemic (she told me and when she comes out of the bathroom it smells like vomit while she is wiping her face). She will eat for like an hour in class then run the restroom. She sort of makes her medical/mental issues public knowledge. She also admits to doing coke on occassion, is frequently jaundice because of her enlarged liver. She just looks like shit. She isn't underweight and is of normal size like most bulemics are. Her skin looks awful and her feet are always red (she doesn't wear socks with her little slippers). She is always asking me about her pill and why she has break-through bleeding or why her period didn't start on time, etc. I told her if she's throwing it up it won't get into her system but she claims she doesn't vomit after she takes it.
Anyway, she came to class today and said her doc gave her klonopin. She popped at least 4 pills in class and told everyone what she was doing. She seems out of it half the time. Apparantly, she was living with her parents before and now lives with a roommate. Her roommate who is also a student at our school is also bulemic. Btw, we have a problem with bulemia/anorexia at our school.
I am worried she might die if she continues this cycle. I worry about her driving as messed up as she was today. Our class is sort of close knit. All of the students in the class are worried and keep talking about it. Should we do something or mind our own business? I am not trying to start drama but I would hate to see her die because of stupid choices.
