in high school my friend laura was always accused of being anorexic because she is so tiny. she eats like crazy and just doesnt gain weight. shes like a tongue depressor. some people are just naturally tiny people. i know several girls who say that being called anorexic is just as bad as overweight people being called fat. because you try and try and can't gain/lose weight, and people make comments acting like its your fault.

however, people do have reason to be concerned with how much nervous diseases like this are popping up. anorexia is a newer disease and hits teenage girls the hardest. if youre really not anorexic then just tell people to shut up. it effects men too, but not to as high of a degree. however, when thinking about that we have to remember that its much harder for men to come forth with problems like that. society says that men don't need help. so theyre less willing to get help for problems like this. it still effects women more, but the number of men effected is probably much higher than we think. same thing goes for rape.
