Subject: Eating disorders

I think eating disorders is one of the most important things that a class should talk about. This rally should start in middle or elementray school. Research has shown that girls in the 5th grade are now developing eating disorders. People need to know early how detrimental this disease can be. I also think that children should be taught the way words can affect a person. By using simple phrases like "suck in your pudge" every once in a while or often to friends can soon make them really believe that they are ugly and fat even when they are not. Children need to learn that saying these things even as a joke can be taken very seriously by some and cause horrible outcomes. I personally have experienced what happens when a person has an eating disorder and it takes alot to come back from one. This is a very serious issue that needs to be addressed quickly in schools.
