While losing weight may make people feel better and
give a sense of control, anorexia and bulimia are tragic disorders that
consume and even kill teens.
This fatal addiction has become a national
phenomenon; one percent of teens currently suffer from anorexia or
bulimia. It may start with a few dropped pounds, but after many
compliments, the need to lose more weight is often established. People
idolize thinness, and teens will go to extremes to achieve this vision.
