I was in chat when someone posted a link to some girl's Xanga. I clicked it expecting to find some interesting material. Instead what I found was both disturbing and (in my opinion) psychotic. It appeared to be quite cult-like.
I don't know how much history this has, but I just recently stumbled upon a HUGE number of "Ana girls", or females that are "Pro-Anorexia Nervosa". In their blogs they seem to be glorifying a very serious and dangerous eating disorder. Has anyone else seen anything like this before? It makes me feel really naive to think that I am just now finding out about it. And to think that there are support groups for people that glamourize being anorexic... For more information I've provided links to two sources that I used to find out more about it. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ana http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pro-ana Please note that any opinions stated in this topic are not meant to offend anyone. They are STRICTLY personal opinions. |

I've seen one it made me want to throw up.
Not because I was reverting back to bulimia, but because it sickened me to see those girls idolizing sick young women and striving to give in to a disease as obsessive as that. I don't know what possesses these girls to think the way they do or how to show them how wrong and sick they really are. They make me want to cry. |
