Anorexic

Anorexic used to be an illness of adult teens is the past, but in the 21st century, more and more young teens got hooked up on having great figures. These young teens were all influenced by their peers to have skinny figures, and they think that having a skinny figure wil allow them to look great. However they were wrong, their skinny figures will only make others think that they look sick and lack of nutrition. Anorexia in teenage girls is a dangerous eating disorder that involves self-starvation. It is both a mental and physical condition and despite popular belief is not about food. It involves extreme emotions, behaviors and attitudes surrounding weight. A person who is suffering from anorexia fears being fat and is in a constant pursuit of being thin. They also fear losing control and this is the way that has formed for them to cope with their issues. To prevent their kids to be caught up with Anorexic, parents have to look up on their child if their child has the following Anorexic symptoms:

1) Sudden and severe wieght loss.
2) Obsessing about food, weight or appearance.
3) Keep on defining the amount of calories and amount of fats cotain in the food.

In the article given, the eight year old child would most probably be influenced by her peers or perhaps the people around her. Her parents might have neglected her eating habits, failing to notice that their daughter had been skipping meals. It might be too late for them to know that their chld has deeply ocntracted with Anorexia.
