when I was 13 I became anorexic because of kids in my class too and have suffered from it on and on for the past three years. I used to be a member of some pro-ana groups and one day they sent out this email that was a story about "the perfect diet buddy," and naturally she was anorexic. It made me think about how skewed my view is about myself and how damaging my behaviour has been. If anyone else reads this...do not become anorexic. It is absolutely horrible and you messed up your body so much! There are a ton of messages about skipping meals and losing weight quickly...I would rather be healthy and happy than thin and dead so just be careful...sorry, I just wanted to reiterate your point.
