Question

Girls are always mentioned with some sort of issue like cutting or anorexic or scratching. all of those. i know some guys do cut but is it that strange for a guy to be anorexic too? i just want to know what you think about this.

Answer 1

Most anorexia patients are female. However, male anorexia patients are not rare.  

Answer 2

it's definitely not as common, but it happens... I would say the rate of anorexia in guys has increased significantly in the last several years.  I blame Emo.

Answer 3

not at all.

everyone has problems and deals with them in their own way!

and for a lot of males, if that resorts to becoming anorexic, then thats it.

more and more males are becoming anorexic every year.

Answer 4

I am afraid I do not understand why people cut themselves, let alone become anorexic. I spent five days in Hospital with two lovely teenage females who had tubes up their nose as they were anorexic/bulimic. The tube allowed them to be fed and stopped them from vomiting. Then I had six hours in ER with a teenage male who got drunk, cut himself and thought it was funny? They were waiting for blood test results, one for the alcohol content to go down and the other to make sure he had no infection from the cuts? He told me he had been in a car accident and as he was covered in blood, I took his word. However four hours later he admitted he had done all this damage to himself, why I do not know. Best of Luck
