Eating Disorders

Hey everyone, I was looking up some teen issues and eating disorders seem to be one of the most common problems. Did you know that 1 or 2 out of every 100 teens struggle with an eating disorder or a weight problem. Most of the common reasons that teens have eating disorders is because they feel they have to live up to society. Today all of the actresses and models are stick skinny and if girls don't look like a perfect model they feel overweight. I think that another reason girls feel they need to have perfect bodies is also because of male peer pressure. Guy's are very cruel to girls who are even a little bit overweight, they make fun of them and put them down. One thing that I don't get is even girls who are already skinny think they should be skinner. I think that teenage girls need more encouragement to stay healthy. If these girls want to loose weight there's plenty of exercise programs that are made especially for teens. There's also the option of just eating healthier, switching out a junk food for fresh fruit. I personally haven't known anybody with an eating disorder but it's a very serious disease. I think that if you know anybody who is trying to hide the fact that they have an eating disorder you need to try to help them. No girl should ever feel like they're not good enough or pretty enough. Your body is your temple and weather you like your body or not, your going to have it the rest of your life.
