beat eating disorders : Friends

This clip, made by 5 girls for the eating disorders charity beat, is aimed at friends of someone suffering from an eating disorder. The film includes the girls giving advice and telling their own personal stories. The girls wanted to give an insight into having an eating disorder, and to give tips of how to help a sufferer. They also wanted to highlight that it wasn't the fault of the sufferer and that it was very important to not let the eating disorder dominate the friendship.

This video is good. TRUE friends will be there to support you and offer you a helping hand. Friends are just as effective as Family being there to support you in your time of need.

I totally argee! Everything is true, and it's hard to see at the time what we put our friends through. It seems we only realise after, especially in my case anyway. xxxx
