Subject: eating disorders

Discussing eating disorders in any classroom setting, I think, is vital! So many girls see images of skinny, can-see-every-bone models and celebrities every day so many have misconstrued images of what actually is beautiful. I did have a friend who was anorexic in highschool and she never spoke about it but everyone knew. We told her we loved her and that what she was doing was eventually going to kill her. Her parents found out and she recieved the proper treatment. It amazes me how young girls view themselves as "fat" mainly becuase of what they view on a daily basis in the media. I think educating young girls about the dangers of these eating disorders can potentially help improve or even eliminate the problem.
