Hello. I am a guy 15 years old and I have a friend who is trying to loose weight by vomiting after each meal. I tried to reason with her but she does not listen to me at all. I am familiar that this eating disorder is called bulimia. I think that it is treatable, but I don't have slightest idea how it is treated. Can you help me?

I know that it is probably hard for you to do it, but you must talk to her parents about this. That is the best for her health. Treatment is almost the same as with the anorexic people. It is consistent of psychotherapy, and the patients are often prescribed anti-depressants or anti-psychotics. Good luck.
