Healthy Food Chart

I wonder if there are truly more teenage girls that are members of this site than just the usual adults? For everywhere I look I find comments from a 13 or 15 year old girl expecting advice to become skinny, or to become unhealthy.

It is so upsetting because so many adults answer our questions. They tell us to eat healthier, and excercise more. But, it seems these teens only want to find out how to become anorexic or bulimic. What's even worse is that I don't think we teens believe the adults, believe that that's the right path to take. It saddens me to know that we care more about our weight, than the opinion of the only people who have already endured and experienced.

We starve ourselves for days, we become ill, and enjoy it. We take pride in the bones that begin to appear underneath our flesh. We'll do anything to become the smallest, skinniest, most unhealthy girl in our grade.

But, is it really worth it?
