Why does girls and specially teenagers obsessed in being thin some times they starve their self to death?

i deal with this problem.. a lot! You see all the time you see ppl on diets and stuff, you here on the news about obesity and how it is getting to be a real problem. Well, i know that I am scared of being over weight... see when i was a kid I was really chubby and i would really hate to be like that again! I try not to starve myself because i am a big health freak and can't stand the fact of feeling tired or bloated. I have in the past starved myself and i regret it. I am now eating 3 meals a day and one snack......(sometime i eat more but get really depressed or feel really fat.. like right now) I hope this gives you a better understanding of ppl who might just take that extra high step to get farther away from there fear.








Also, there is the guys... I have a lot of guy friends and i know that they don't like fat girls... nor extremely skinny girls, so it's like we have to be perfect! So, there is even more stress, also i was talking to this guy and he wanted this other girl to starve herself because she was fat. The problem with being fat and why ppl are scared of being fat is because everyone teases you, and looks down to you... a lot.Why does girls and specially teenagers obsessed in being thin some times they starve their self to death?

I have never heard of anyone in the U.S. starving himself or herself to death. Do you have a link to a news story?





And whoever says it's because everyone around us is skinny is full of it. 65% of Americans are overweight. So, most people around us are overweight. Only 35% are normal, athletic or thin.





Most people do, in fact, need to lose weight.
society labeled beauty with thinness..
B-cuz,everyone around us is skinny and ppl on t.v. are skinny and there is peer pressure,and ppl at school are the worst,they call u fat even if u are super skinny.
Teenage girls are always trying to look their best especially in front of boys. No offense to teenage girls but they expect to have a boyfriend in high school. Same goes to boys and they think their look is the most important to get a boyfriend/girlfriend.





That's why they are trying to lose weight and have the perfect size. And all they do is starve themselves.
Because they're under pressure from all sides - yo-yo dieting mums, size - obsessed media (before the size 0 debate, I didn't even know how skinny celebs were, nor did I care) and of course the inescapable slimming club/food adverts.





However, most eating disorders are to do with control, for example, if you have OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) you have a higher likelihood of getting an eating disorder.
Its a condition, they cant see theyre true form, only what they think as 'fat'.
you can blame the media for that.... That's what they portray what a beautiful woman is to be----skinny!!. Then peer pressure takes a part too. It's really sad, but the media is to blame for the majority of it.
coz they're morons.
