PART I
Anorexia is a dangerous eating disorder which often starts in the teenage years. In
Britain 5% of girls are anorexic and four out of ten teenage girls skip meals so that they
can be slim like fashion models and pop stars. But it is not just girls many boys want
to lose weight too and often don eat enough because of it.
What exactly is anorexia?
Its a medical condition and its full name is anorexia nervosa. People
with anorexia try not to eat and they lose a lot of weight. They often feel fat
even when they are thin. They use other ways of staying thin too, like taking
laxative tablets (which make you go to the toilet more often) or by doing too
much exercise. Anorexia is serious.
Anorexics can become very weak and die. About 20% of anorexics
dont live more than twenty years after anorexia starts and only 60% of
anorexics get better completely.
Who gets anorexia?
The Eating Disorders Association says that girls between 10 and 19 years of age are the
most likely people to become anorexic. But anorexia can happen to anyone. More boys are
becoming anorexic. 1 in 500 young men have an eating disorder. Eating disorders are also
increasing among 8-10 year olds. Celebrities are particularly vulnerable because people are
always judging their appearance.
Christina Aguileras video for the song Beautiful shows the effect of the pressure on young
people to be slim. A young anorexic girl looks at her image on the mirror. She then angrily
breaks the mirror. Singer Victoria Beckham recently said that she nearly became anorexic. She
explains, You pick up magazines and you see how you should look when you are a famous
person.
