Subject: Eating Disorders

Eating disorders are very important to cover in this class since we are discussing human development (and eating disorders can greatly hinder our health/development)and since most of us will be in teaching/coaching/nursing positions in which we will be affecting kids who may battle with this. Whether any of us admit it or not, I do not think there is any girl who has not struggled with the beginnings of an eating disorder, or atleast come close to one. When I was younger I had a very unhealthy obsession with being too skinny, it could have very easily overtaken my life (it had begun to) but I saw how it affected my friends so much and I hated it. Even though it is an uncomfortable subject, I think we all need to get over our trying to pretend like eating disorders are so seperated from us, especially when considering how great an influence we are all going to have since most of us will have occupations working with young people.
I think the best thing we can do is set positive examples for these kids starting with ourselves.
