Tell me your thoughts about Anorexia please... Why do you think some youth are anorexic?

Question

Accurate info... no messed up stupid answers

Answer 1

Honestly, because they realize that looks are very important (we're visual creatures) and that thinner people are usually valued more than bigger people.  Not everyone has the genetics to be able to be naturally thin, and, especially to people without much knowledge of diet and exercise, the easiest answer is to starve.  Less food means less weight, and a lot of people would rather look thin than be large and still be healthy.

Basically no one wants to be big, because it is 'unattractive' to most people. It it shallow, but it is true. I'm not stick thin, but when I was, I did get more attention and I can see the difference and as a woman you feel unsexy and ugly. You will do whatever you can to lose weight, and you'll fail numerous times. It isn't easy.

Answer 3

in their messed up mind they see themselves as fat

Answer 4

Many people here say that anorexic people are anorexic because they want to be thin. Although that might be true to a certain degree it is the smaller one of the real causes. It might be the original motivation, but this motivations mutates into something far more serious than just 'wanting to be thin'.

This question has been asked a million times before. Please use the search tool. Also, go on youtube, the affected people (of anorexia) often post videos or have video-blog. They will be far more helpful than a bunch of people in yahoo who essentially have no idea what they are talking about.
