So d,k, and me were passing notes in class today.
k is a skinny athletic type looking girl

k: I'm not hungry, I don't want to eat.
d: You are eating, now pick a place.
Me: why don't you want to eat?
k: I'm fat. At least thats what my friends say.
d: if you are fat, I must be a whale.
me: Whats wrong with your friends?
k: just don't worry about it.
Me and d: We need to talk to your friends.

K gets up and leaves class. D follows, I stay.

This sounds like it could be the onset of anorexia. Convince her to talk to a therapist. You can tell her that if there's "nothing wrong" with her, then the therapist won't hurt to see, otherwise she might get the help she needs. Now, convincing her to go see a therapist could be rather difficult, so at the very least you might want to talk to her friends and ask them to be careful with their words. If you can get her friends in the same boat as you, then everyone can support her and maybe it'll change her mind.

Also, pulling her aside to talk to her one-on-one could be very helpful too. Tell her you want to have an honest conversation and ask some probing questions like, "how much weight do you think you have to lose?", "do you know what the ideal weight for your height/age is?", "did you know there are healthy ways to lose weight? not eating is not a very good way to do this." or even mention, "if you still feel the need to lose weight, I can help you through the steps and make sure you approach the weight loss in a healthy way."

Well, when one of my friends decided that she was too fat to eat, I told her that I was going to join her and stop eating too. Although, I would still eat when I wasn't around her. But like, at school, I wouldn't eat. She started to feel bad because I would mention how hungry I was and such. She finally told me that I shouldn't be starving myself because I looked perfectly fine. And I looked at her and said "Now you know how I feel." We had a pretty long talk after that about how she shouldn't be worried about what everyone else thinks or says about her body, the only thing that mattered is that when she looked in the mirror, she was comfortable with herself.
