I'm worried about one of my girls?

I am a coach for a teenage (15 yr) ice skating girl. She does pairs and is usually very healthy and happy. Lately I noticed a significant drop in weight for her. She's been very pale and feeble. She took a light fall on the ice and sprained her ankle. She's also been very depressed and moody.

I got her partner to sort of spy on her in the cafertira, and he told me that she wasn't eating anything, just drinking a diet coke. I found one of her school books and it had a sheet of paper with weight calculations.

Should I be concerned about her having an eating disorder? If she does end up being anorexic, how can i help her?

fyi people, this is research for a story i'm writing. it's a false situation.

this girl goes to an ice skating boarding school to train. she's away from home.

I would definetly be worried, she shows all types of signs that cuold lead to an eating disorder. You have 2 options, one, talk to her and ask her straight up what's been going on. And two, if she just blows you off and get defensive, tell a trusted adult, she could be putting her life in danger!
Good luck!

And good luck on your story. =]

She is anorexic. Talk to her about it asap. notify her parents. Since your not her caregiver you cant really do much.
