Personally, I think that teenagers for boys and especially girls age 6 and above should be having 3 meals per day instead of starving themselves. I think teenagers starved themselves causing them to have eating disorder might be caused by many factors. I think one of the factors that cause this is physical and emotional changes, for example teenagers might find anorexia or bulimia gives them a way to handle stresses and anxieties which allows them to have control and impose order in their lives. Second, teenagers who gain some additional body fat during puberty have respond to this change by becoming fearful of their new weight and feel compelled to get rid the fat maybe by starving themselves in school or skipping meals or overdoing exercising or induce vomiting after having meals. Thirdly, I can see that why people may develop fear when gaining fat, this maybe due to the fact that they are overloaded by images of thin celebrities thus decided to starve themselves and not eating anything which leads to eating disorder.
On the other hand, our parents may influence our value and priorities towards food which is one of the contributing factors that causes anorexia or bulimic teenagers. I think the best way for parents to seek help when they notice their children are to thin and tend to skip meals is to find mental health professionals. They could help to treat people with eating disorders, diagnosing the illness and any associated physical problems resulting from it. Psychotherapy might be also one of the cure for eating disorder, it helps anorexia or bulimic teenage to clear their stressful mind or to straighten up their mindset that being thin is not the way to become pretty/beautiful. Physical problems such as low self-esteem, depressions, anger and feelings of lack of control in life, I believe with proper guidance from parents not stressing their children from studies giving freedom them such as going out for a holiday to other countries to relax could help manage their child from being anorexia or bulimic teenage.
Here is a Article about Isabelle Caro who risk her health by still being an Anorexia to raise awareness on Anorexia itself:
Isabelle Caro (born 12 September 1982) is a French model from Marseille, France, who became well-known after appearing in a controversial ad campaign by photographer Oliviero Toscani.[1]
She has suffered from severe anorexia nervosa since she was 13 years old. Her anorexia was caused by what she calls a "troubled childhood." When she appeared on CBS's The Insider, it was revealed that at the worst of her eating disorder, her weight had gone as low as 25 kilograms (55 lb) at a height of 1.65 metres (5 ft 5 in); her most recent weight being 33 kilograms (73 lb).
She appeared on C4's Supersize vs Superskinny which aired on 11 March 2008, in which she spoke to journalist Anna Richardson about her anorexia.
Caro was hospitalized for the first time when she was 20. At her worst, in 2006, she slipped into a coma, weighing just 55 pounds (25 kg). The doctor said she wouldn't survive the coma but she did.
Caro was also interviewed in the second episode of TV documentary series, The Price of Beauty, which Jessica Simpson and her two best friends Ken Pavés and CaCee Cobb travel all over the world to explore the meaning of true beauty. Jessica would like to know how female models for fashion modeling have become obsessed with being skinny as one of bad beauty regimes. Caro talked about how she got anorexic and she realized it was a good opportunity for her to show people it was to be warned to save other girls as she got, which makes her stronger. Jessica was too impressed to say “What you are doing right now makes you more beautiful and I hope women all over the world hear about the story and it is important to know the skinny you are does not make you beautiful. It was aired on March 22, 2010 in USA and on August 21 in Japan as an episode in France where a key of beauty is to enjoy a moment and live in to the fullest, means la joie de vivre in French.
