Anorexia is a common eating disorder around the world. Many young teenage girls are affected by this eating disorder. Being skinny is something every wants to be, they do not want to be an average healthy weight they want to be very skinny because they think the more skinnier they are the more beautiful and attractive they will be. I think that the advertisement and entertainment businesses are the ones to blame. Whenever you look at magazines the girls that are in the photos are always super skinny and have great body which is making teens and even adults do whatever it take to get skinny. One way teens try to achieve this goal is by resorting to anorexia. Anorexia is an eating disorder in which a person limits the food that they take in which results to starvation. This is a very dangerous tactic to lose weight. People who suffer from this disorder do not get the nutrients that the body needs to survive. It is common for anorexic people’s organs such as the heart, liver or kidneys to fail. People with anorexia usually experience hair loss, dizziness, muscle cramps and even a discoloration of the skin all because their bodies are lacking in nutrients. It is important to get help if you or someone you know suffers from this disorder because death is even a possibility. Usually the treatment process includes meeting with a psychologist, attending individual or group therapy and just staying close to your family and friends because it is important to have a support system. In extreme cases some people who suffer from anorexia may need a hospital stay. I as a teenager know that having that thin, muscular body is a constant pressure. I have tried to diet but I don’t think I could ever starve myself. I personally don’t understand how any human being could not eat. I love food way too much to give it up. Even if I tried I don’t think I could manage it. When I look at the dangers I wonder how anyone could do that to their own bodies and even put them in danger of losing their lives.
