Subject: Eating Disorders

I do think that it is important to discuss eating disorders in class. The main reason is because it is a very serious epidemic right now, and one of the main reasons that the problem has become so large is because people are uneducated on the issues. There are countless numbers of women and men, boys and girls, who are currently anorexic and bulemic. To them, they are simply losing weight quickly;however, they do not realize the severity of what this is doing to their bodies. So in a class, like this development across the lifespan course, it should be taught about the lifelong effects that eating disorders cause. I also think that in some point of everyones life they struggle with their weight, so this topic is appropriate for all students.
