Has anyone had any personal dealings with this?

My best mate told me she has been making herself throw up after meals. She told me when she was drunk. I am going to chat with her about it tomorrow. She has lost lots of weight lately and split with her long term boyfriend. When we do go out she eats very little or not at all.

She has a goal of 49kilos. She is a small girl but that's way too little.

Any advice?

Read about the conditions, and see what sort of help she needs.  Try to get her to use the resources available to her.  Good luck man.

It's always the girls, always conscious about their appearance and weight, sometimes to extremes...and even death. WHY??

She's probably been pressured to thinking shes fat and things like that, tell her just to be the way she is, don't believe what everyone else says and just live your life as how you are.
Now go tell her to go to Mcdonalds and ask for a super size

Self-confidence issues.  I can imagine that it's hard to fit into society's idea of what women should look like, since it is usually unrealistic.

Her now ex-boyfriend might have called her some nasty names to do with being fat. I'd say it's down to a lack of confidence in herself. Try cheering her up and restoring her confidence, like maybe clothes shopping (you know girls love that kind of thing) and tell her how great she looks by just being herself. Get friends to encourage her too so that it doesn't look like it's just you saying stuff.

Yes, I know that...but where does the problem stem from? Mothers? Friends? The media? Celebrities? Psychological problems? Hormones? People shouldn't give a fuck about wot trends society follows. People are too easily influenced these days and psychologically weak.

Like everyone else said, definitely talk to her and encourage her, along with your friends.

And if she doesn't seem to be making any progress or nothing seems to help, please let a doctor know! She may need professional help, might need to see a psychiatrist or something if all this persists.

External sources create psychological issues that drive women to starve themselves to death. Ironically, not eating is a shitty way to diet. Sure, you'll eventually lose pounds, but only after you drop all the fat that your body puts on in a dead panic as resource storage for being denied nutrients.

People take what others say too much these days.  Personally, I don't really care about what others say to me, but I don't have confidence issues. 
My fiance used to be bulimic, and I don't think she really knows why, except that it wasn't her family or friends.  Fortunately, she got over it.  She still has self-image problems though, and she always thinks I'm lying to her when I compliment her.

Counseling is typically necessary to help a person with anorexia or bulimia.  They have such a warped self-image that they need someone else to help them repair it.  My sister is a recovering anorexic and she had to have extensive counseling to help her break the cycle.  Society doesn't help at all with it's overemphasis on appearance, especially for women.  Normal attractive women are told by what they see in Hollywood and all the makeover/style/plastic surgery shows out there that "your clothes suck, you need a new hair style/hair color/set of breasts/lypo".  After awhile even the most self-confident woman will start to question herself when comparing herself to all the stars that have a plastic surgeon on speed dial.  We men need to help our ladies out and encourage them regarding their looks.  For someone with a serious condition like anorexia or bulimia, compliments are not enough, but they do a world of good towards reinforcing the positive.
