why is it that most teenager are sufferinf from anorecia?

Answer 1

weak self esteem, easy to do, and quick results.

Answer 2

Because most teenagers worry way too much about what people think of them. The world has stereotyped beautiful girls as thin and most teenagers get so caught up in trying to be popular and wanted by the "in crowd" that they will do absolutely anything to lose weight and fit in. Anorexia is a very serious problem and is nothing to be made fun of...these girls really see theirselves as huge, ugly beings when they are wrapped up in the food wars. This huge epidemic could be blamed on anyone from the media to the school bully...All you can do is just hope that one day, we won't live in a world that is so judgemental and we will see a person by how beautiful they are on the inside, not by the way they look.

Answer 3

most teenagers are suffering from anorecia for many reasons. First of all high school is a big thing, teens who are fat or obese get made fun of because of their weight. which makes them want to lose weight but they tend to do it the wrong way and become anorexic. Second of all some teens want to become models because thats what they see on televison and being a model you have to be skinny so teens will starve them selves just become that model.

Answer 4

Not most - less than 2% of the population suffer from true anorexia nervosa, and the majority of those are under the age of 20. Blame the media and its obsession with thinness. Look at magazine covers and feature film stars and you'll see the "ideal" that teens are trying to achieve.

Answer 5

Only about 2-3% of the population have the eating disorder labeled as anorexia nervosa. Of that percentage, many of them are under the age of 20.

Why are many of the ones suffering from this teenagers? Well, there is a variety of factors. One cannot simply blame the media and magazine ads, though they do play a part. Society and the beauty myths most of us succum to should be to blame for the most part.

If we, as a society, did not believe that toothpick thin models were "beautiful" and chunky people were "ugly" magazines wouldn't put them on the covers. Let's face it, magazines, tv, they're just trying to sell their products/services by showing us what WE want.

Unfortunately, many of our teenagers suffer from lack of attention from their parents. This brings upon them a lack of self esteem and confidence, if not even their parents can pay attention to them, then are they worthy of attention and love? The answer is yes, but rarely do they believe it themselves. The longing to be "thin and beautiful" comes from the longing for attention and love. Look at how much attention men and women, pay to "beautiful" people/actresses/models. Our teenagers are just looking for, longing for love and attention, that's all.

In order to help our teenagers and society see the truth we must encourage them, from the time they're young, to look beyond what they see. Everyone, everyone is beautiful and deserving of love. We must show them love and affection on a daily basis, spend time with them and give them the opportunity to grow and developo into good, loving, caring adults.
