What I already know about my topic
I know that it affects everyone in some way and I know people that do drastic things or have thought about these things that are unhealthy to their body but they are willing to do anything to look "perfect" because it is all they have ever done. Children start these unhealthy things as young as the age of 8. “‘Size zero’ became front-page news in September when model Luisel Ramos collapsed on a runway during Uruguay’s Fashion Week moments after being applauded by spectators; she later died from heart failure.” 15% of girls who suffer from anorexia die from this eating disorder. Approximately 1 out of 20 girls ages 9-15 reported using diet pills or laxatives to lose weight. 90% of the people with eating disorders are women. This shows that women are more affected by everything and they will go to some extreme lengths to get that “perfect” weight.

WOW! This is really shocking to me coming from a family where we could not leave that table without finishing our meals! I Cant believe that there would be that many young people, When I was young... lol but really when I was young I never thought of being skinny or looking perfect. I liked being fat! It was one of the finer things in life for me,and for kids to get cought up in all this "looking perfect" is beypnd me. What is perfect? what is this perfect everyone wants to be? The only perfection I see is a good well rounded person, who thinks about things other than fitting in. But thats just me! Hope this helps!
