Subject: Eating Disorders

I believe covering the topic of eating disorders in class is very important. Eating disorders have become very common in our culture today and I think being aware and understanding these diseases could possible help the individuals affected by this disease. As teachers I think it is important to be able to recognize the signs and symptoms. Teachers play a huge part in the success of children, not just academically, but also physically and emotionally. Teachers sometimes spend more time with their students than the students spend with their own parents and these diseases are sometimes hard to detect especially if the parent is never there to know what is going on with their kid then who will? On of my best friends had a eating disorder. This disease nearly destroyed her life. I wish I detected it way before I did, but it is extrememly hard. That is why I think everyone, especially teachers should be aware of theses diseases so that we can help.
