NO! Julia's friends are not being healthy. Skipping meals to lose weight is not good for your body. It can cause eating disorders like anorexia which is very serious and many people have died from. Julia should practice positive self image and not give in to peer pressure to lose weight. It is important to practice a healthy, balanced lifestyle by both exercising regularly and eating well. Julia is at a healthy weight and should continue being healthy. She should also try to encourage her friends to make healthy choices with her.
