What Causes Dizziness And Headache In A 13 Year Old?

I m 13 years old and don t eat very much at all... i feel dizzy and get head aches alot, i hate eating infront of people it makes me feel uncomfortable, i always have to be perfect and better then everyone else, i have to weigh less then my friends and be better at something they do im 4 feet 12 inches and weigh 78 pounds everyone talks about how skinny i am.... i don t really starve myself only when i get mad over something or sad, and when people ask me if i ate i lie and say yes when i really didn t it i don t mean to though. i also do alot of excercise because i m a gymnast but i always feel weak and fatigue.... but about a week ago my best friend started to loose alot of weight she started starving herself and tried to find diet pills shes 5 feet 6 inches and wants to weigh as much as i do shes trying to be like me and i think i encouraged her because i said wow you are looking good then she told me i have no clue what to do someone help me and her!
