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. |

yea i saw this something about this on tv. websites making anorexia look glamorous by like having tons of pictures of models. its really sick.
i feel really terrible for the girls who think they have to stop eating in order to look good. they dont know that not only do they look sickly, but they are close to death when it gets serious. and using "ana" as an adjective like in the example on urban dictionary is so stupid. |
