I looked about the same a few years ago, and to be fair, by objective medical standards I was fine (except for the low weight). Like, all blood values and other physical tests said that I am, there was "nothing" wrong - physically speaking. The problem is that it usually won't last.
There is a bit of a difference between some who is bleeding out and someone who may have an eating disorder. Again, the desire to help her is because you see her and think something is wrong, i must help. That is arrogance. Even more so if nothing is wrong.

yes, im aware.

She's yucky and likely has mental health issues.
A soldier will fight long and hard for a bit of colored ribbon.
There's nothing healthy about being that skinny.

Saying a mentally ill person is "fine with it" is misguided. It's really not that simple. Mental illness isn't like regular illness where people will happily go to the doctor wanting to be cured.
An anorexic will almost always defend/deny their anorexia and claim to be happy. It might be true that they're happy in a way, because the anorexia is so overbearing that the single dominating deciding factor in their happiness is whether or not they can accommodate their anorexia. That doesn't mean they wouldn't be much better off and much happier if they got help, got better and became themselves again.
Watching a mentally ill person slowly destroy themselves while telling other people to mind their own business just misguided. This isn't an appropriate scenario to signal your tolerance.
you can't be fine in this state, you're literally dying. the documentary i watched followed a model that fell into this, and she and doctors on it described what's happening to your organs as you do this to yourself. i can't remember the details, but it's not good.

there's literally no fucking difference here.
both lead to death, one's just faster and less painful. it's a slow suicide.
It is her life and her body, but really she resembles death. This is not being naturally skinny. This is someone that clearly has some health and/or mental issues that they are not dealing with. She is nothing more than a rack of bones and not at all attractive. It is her life, if she wants to looks like this, so be it. No need for people to shame her into eating, if anything they should be encouraging her to seek professional help before she has some serious health problems.
I was this extreme for like 5 years (out of ~7-8 years eating disorder), and still came out pretty fine and healthy. And even during that time, I didn't have any medical complications (except for the obvious constant tiredness etc.).
I am not saying that it isn't extremely dangerous - because it obviously is. But it's like with a lot of other things: It can go well, it can go wrong. The longer it goes on, the more the risk of it going wrong increases.

Showing concern for someones health is not "shaming". She is clearly ill both physically and mentally, this is only going to end badly.
That cannot be healthy...yeesh what a bone rack
Fat shaming is good, peer pressure and social censure can and does have an impact on someones willpower to change. Skinny shaming when someone is so underweight it is medically unhealthy is also good and she fits that case imo. She needs to put on some weight.
i do not think "shaming" people is very productive, there is a difference between being concerned for someone's health and simply taking an opportunity to be a bully. that said she is much thinner than any naturally skinny person i have ever seen, and may be in need of some help & support.
someone who feels bad enough about their body to starve themselves isn't going to suddenly feel better after being "shamed."
Someone get that girl an extra-large pizza, STAT!
No, obviously she has a problem. Also, obviously she is aware that she is skinny. And, obviously she doesn't feel like talking about it. So, maybe, instead of keeping poking this wound, leave her alone and enjoy her content?
It is the same as people picking on someone with a big nose at school: "Ha-ha, you have a big nose, ha-ha". Well, thanks, Sherlock, that was very helpful!
