now i'm not saying that i relate to that story, it disturbs me, and though i cannot understand being that thin and still starving yourself or vomiting, i can understand the reason behind starting, and these things start for many reasons. it is a sad position for anyone to be in and i feel that sometimes the issues of eating disorders are considered taboo, we only briefly learn about what they are and what they do but we are never given examples of cases to show us the damage that we can do to ourselves.

eating disorders are wide spread through many ages, and i think the second most disturbing case i've heard about was a girl of eight years old developing anorexia - an eight year old! i think there is too much pressure on women and young girls today, read any magazine and it will show you that. models in ads and photoshots are stick thin and airbrushed, they do not naturally look that good. many models are thin because of genetics, eating good food and exercising regularly.

i feel like eating disorders need to be talked about more openly, they are easy enough to recognise if you know someone, but many times they go unnoticed til its too late. i feel that pressure on young girls and women needs to be lifted majorly for there to be an increase of cases of eating disorders. and of course eating disorders are not just related to girls, the number of young men with disorders is there, although significantly lower and not as publicised as the same cases in girls - males seem more content with their body, and if they arent then they lose weight in a sensible way.

eating disorders ruin people and lives, they are very distressing and can be fatal. if you need help with one or know someone who does then contact the appropriate help
