so i accidentally stumbled upon this website, or more appropriately community known as 'anorexic queen' today.
and im so friggin horrified and disgusted.
its so coincidental cos i've got a presentation on anorexia coming up next month for one of my uni modules. so naturally i browsed thru the site.
omfg.
its got girls writing abt how they "successfully" didnt eat for DAYS.. days with an S ok.. omfg.. and how some just had like carrot sticks and a cup of plain water.. WTF!!!!
and the scary thing is that they're all actually PROUD of themselves.. PROUD everytime they STARVE themselves, everytime they THROW UP.
i understand that weight has always been an issue with us teenagers and young pple but STILL. this is just friggin PUSHING IT.
they're all like encouraging one another, telling each other to "BE STRONG". hello? thats not being strong.
and some of them talk abt not being able to have kids in the future as a result of their periods stopping as if ITS NO BIG DEAL. as if thats a MERE INCONVENIENCE that u gotta deal with in order to lose weight.
i'm scared now thinking abt it. thinking abt all those girls out there who DONT EVEN REALISE what they're doing to themselves.
and im thankful that at least IM SMART ENOUGH to know the difference between losing weight healthily and becoming anorexic.
anyways im just gonna put the link up here.. but do PROCEED WITH CAUTION because much of the stuff written there is seriously... disturbing.
