Question on anorexia?

Question

What are usually the age groups of anorexia and gender?

Answer 1

anorexia is found commonly in caucasian females around the ages 13-18 (teenagers)
even though the first case of anorexia was a man, more than half of the cases of anorexia are in females.
anorexia is basically when you starve yourself to become thin. here are the top reasons why people go anorexic:
1. they saw a celeb in a magazine and wants to weigh and look as pretty as them
2. they are a model and theyre jobs will only hire people this tall and this much pounds
3. people keep saying theyre fat or gaining weight
4. you feel yourself gaining pounds but its hard to loose them so you starve yourself
some people go bulimic because its better to eat and dont have to worry about hunger pangs.

the result of ANOREXIA:
- one of your organs fail or your heart and you die.
- you dont die of anorexia but you have serious heart or other conditions, your always tired, you start to look 20 years older and its taking over
- you decide anorexia is not right, so you commit suicide

the result of BULIMIA
- one of your organs fail or your heart and you die.
- your teeth become yellow and rottening from the chemicals in the throw up constantly on your teeth
- you choke and die from your own throw up
- suicide

in my case they are both as worse. i couldnt choose which one i would do. but i have talked to an anorexic person and they said they wish they never would of did it that they know they are going to die and they look horrible and its true. with bulimic you dont loose as much weight as anorexic but its more nastier to me, but anorexic hunger pangs are unbearable.

if your thinking of becoming anorexia, DONT.
truth is: you will die sooner or later.
