Bulimia and anorexia

I went to a site on health information, which talked about anorexia, bulimia and eating disorders. This web site is trying to show us a statistic which has done on people who have the problems of bulimia and anorexia. On this web site, I read how the statistic of bulimia and anorexia is hard to elaborate because people who have that problem don’t like to talk about it, and there are people who have that problem but they don’t realize if they have it. One study shows that symptoms of bulimia in young girls are about 10 percent. Another study has been done on all people and they found out about 20% and 35% have that problem.

Bulimia and eating disorders are cause by the society and media because of socialization from their parents. For example girls are taught to be pretty, which means thin or having an athletes body, then they start to practice bulimia and eating disorders. Also men are the cause because they hate girls or women who are fat. Media has a part in the cause of that problem. When television is making advertisements it shows girls what they can take to become thin. To sum up I can say bulimia and anorexia are very dangerous for health because they can provoke death and diseases. by Gilbert
