Pro Eating Disorder Websites

[Angel]

I'm sitting here watching Oprah for the first time in awhile and this is today's topic. So sitting here online, I decided to surf the net and check it out.

I'm honestly flabbergasted that there are websites out there teaching young girls HOW to be anorexic or bulimic (sp). They show how to use ipecac, laxatives and vomiting to be skinny (pretty)

I really never knew this was a problem... but I looked and the sites -are- out there. Yahoo and MSN have apparently been made aware of the problem and are actively removing the sites from their databases. However I did manage to find one :

that is just sad and pathetic that someone would actually try to teach girls that its ok to starve yourself or to make yourself throw up enough to be "pretty"

they should be hung by their toes from a tree for having made that site and left there for days to see what its like (if they havent done it before)

Is this really what we're teaching our kids?

1.If you aren't thin you aren't attractive.

2.Being thin is more important than being healthy.

3.You must buy clothes, cut your hair, take laxatives, starve yourself, do anything to make yourself look thinner.

4.Thou shall not eat without feeling guilty.

5.Thou shall not eat fattening food without punishing oneself afterwards.

6.Thou shall count calories and restrict intake accordingly.

7.What the scale says is the most important thing.

8.Losing weight is good/ gaining weight is bad.

9.You can never be too thin.

10.Being thin and not eating are signs of true will power and success.
