I never used to care about my weight, but now all the girls in my class are going on a diet, some are becoming anorexic, which makes me want to become anorexic even more.
So far I have went 3 days with only eating a salad and a tuna wrap. Why am I like this?
I think I am underwieght for my age and height, I am 93 pounds, 5"3, and I am 14, and I am female.
But everyone's doing it, I dont know what to do, and the more I do it the more I like it.

the only purpose for it is to feel in control of something. you are already thin, you dont have to do what the other girls are doing, take control of your life in some other way or it will kill you.

It's the warped perception of beauty that you and your friends have. Not only you, but a vast majority of businesses.
You must realize that health is number one. And whatever size that you can be at that keeps you healthy is the one you should be striving for. What use does looking "good" have when you are literally DYING to be that way? And people don't look good when they are that skinny...they are delluting themselves.
Please hon, see a doctor, and get the nutrition your growing body should be getting. Don't worry about the other girls, focus on yourself, and your health. You're so young. Don't waste your life on such a superficial thing.

You are right to worry, this is a follow the pack mentality that can phsically damage you for life, it could even end your life.
Google Karen Carpenter. Read about the promise she showed, and watch her shrink until she died.
You are already too thin.
It doesn't make you cool, it hurts your body.
Get help if you need to, but stop this now.

So everyone's doing it!! And you are following the "sheep"
Why don't you be "you"....be different, don't follow the crowd!
By taking a stand and being different, you will gain respect and maybe someday make a drastic difference in this "crazy" world we live in.
The more you do it the more you like it you say? That's cause your brain is not functioning properly due to lack of food.
please stop doing this to your health.

Look at it this way: If I jump off the bridge, does that mean you have to jump off the bridge too? Why are you so eager to do something just because other people are doing it? Don't risk your health just to be like the "pack". It's not worth it. Too many girls think they want to look like models or movie stars. Forget that crap. You are you.

i think your like this because you feel your in some competition with the girls in your class. coming from a guy I think women look a lot better with a little weight.
