Anti -Proana

1. With the websites and blogs now-a-days that promote being anorexic, becoming thin as possible is starting to become a trend. Young girls and young women are starting to starve them selves to death. This has to stop. These females are becoming to self conscious about themselves. Theses websites need to be shut down before females get to the point were start to think thats its cool to be anorexic. When females get to the piont thats its cool to be like this, thats when they start to spread the concept of beind anorexic to there friends. I went to school with this girl that was anorexic. She seemed like was so depressed. Everyday at lunch, she would get a milk and sit in the corner by herself. Thats all she would have for lunch. I felt kind of bad because of the stuff she went throungh. Thats why I feel that these website need to be shut down. These websites arent helping them out at all. The only benefit I can accept from all of this is on the blogs were there expressing their feelings about their situations. Other than that, it all needs to be shut down because its not benefiting them in any way.

2. With Anorexia become a bigger issue everyday, websites and blogs are becoming a great place for women in particular to express their feelings about their problems. A lot of people see these websites as harmful and not beneficial. I see it as females with these problems need a place to guide them with their problems. I know some females with these problems that are not afraid the talk about their conditions. They open with the fact that they have a condition that needs to be treated. The blogs are a great place for females with anorexia to hear about other situations and to tell otheres about their situations. If websites and blogs were not created for these people with these conditions, I believe their conditions could get worse because theirs to push to want to do better. A lot of people with this condition feel lonely and scared. This gives them a place to not feel lonely and know that there are others out there that have the same problems that they do.

3. Anorexia is growing in America everyday. Lots of people suffering with this condtion dont know how to handle having it. Websites that cater to this condition are benefial in some ways. In some ways they help because it allows people with this conditon to express how they feel. A lot of people with this conditon are scared and dont know how to express how they feel about themselves and their condtion. The blogs allow them to reach out with outhers and talk about their our situaitons without feeling scraed and embarrased. On the other hand, these websites can damage these people also. Even though these website are for people with this conditon, some people on these websites dont really know if they even have this conditon. They think they have this condition. With them thinking this, they get deeper and deeper into it where their thinking turns into knowing. The bad thing about these website and blogs is that anyone get one and join. I dont think that these website should be abolished but i do think there should be more regulation on these sites. I quess it would be hard to have more regulation on these sites and bloggs but somehting has to change.
