Anorexia

Anorexia is a major illness that can affect anyone at any age. This illness ( commonly in women) is not given by choice and is not the persons fault. This cruel disease can change a person and make them feel like the world is against them. A miss conception about this MENTAL ILNESS is that it’s all about not eating, but it simply isn’t. It can be way more than that, then need to control is the main factor. But many can survive this illness. I did.

Anorexia is a horrible illness

Anorexia

It's a MENTAL DISEASE, nobody chooses to have anorexia, UNLESS if your a 'WANNAREXIC''.
Basically, it's a disease were you have a poor body image and want to be really skinny. And it really, really sucks. You can't exactly get rid of it, I mean you can get your eating habits better if you get help but just because you start eating doesn't mean anything! It never really goes away, and it's awful.
It's more common with young girls, not really common with guys.

Retard: ''Ha! Look at that skinny teenage girl over there! I bet she's just looking for attention with this entire ''Poor body image'' crap''.
Smart person: ''What are you talking about? She has anorexia you dumbbutt, get your facts straight''.
