EATING DISORDERS CONTINUED…                Why Anorexia effects Young People

One common misconception is that people become anorexic because they are self-absorbed, vain individuals who place too much importance on their looks.Another reason can be that they are depressed for some reason or a family issue that they tend to not eat because of that. Kids sometimes get made fun of at school, get teased because they are fat so when they go home they starve themselfs, thow up to get rid of the food that they just consumed. No matter what happens they dont eat because they are scared that they may get fatter and be made fun of at school even more. One widely-accepted theory is that people develop anorexia because they seek control over themselves and their lives. Food and weight can be controlled when other aspects of life cannot, and indeed significant events, such as leaving home for the first time, a divorce, or a serious illness are examples of out-of-control situations which can trigger anorexia. Anorexia can also develop in response to motherchild relationships which have been too close. Relationships such as these make it difficult for a son or daughter to grow into their own, separate identity at the appropriate developmental stage.
