Such a waste of a young life. This was, indeed, a thought provoking post. Young people these days are under such pressure about their looks, and it really is terrible.

If a parent is concerned, a good idea would be to go back and look at photos of your child 6 months or a year ago. When you're with your child everyday, you sometimes don't notice their weight loss until it reaches a point that it's serious. Some parents don't want to believe that this is happening to their child, so they push it aside. The two young girls I know who have suffered from Anorexia have been extremely intelligent kids. These are the kids that are cunning enough to hide their eating habits so well that it sneaks up on their parents. Heather was able to beat the disease. Darlene wasn't.

I had problems with my own daughters eating habits when she was in her mid-teens ... a sudden dramatic lose of weight and everyone complimenting her etc. Maybe I was a little obsessive but I knew that it wasn't normal and had her down to the professionals, it was such a difficult time for all of us. Now she is a healthy normal weight and very sensible about her food.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
