=A Terrible Beauty=

By Kendra, Lily, and Elana
[Lily]: Haven't you noticed how teenagers and Hollywood stars, like Paris Hilton, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, and Nicole Richie are getting skinnier almost every time you see them? There's a reason for this. It's called Anorexia and Bulimia. [Kendra]: Cases of Anorexia are when people eat so little until they grow unnaturally skinny and unhealthy. Bulimia is when people eat, but make themselves vomit so they will taste the food but not have to gain the wait. [Elana]: People do this because they think they don't belong if they're fat; that they're unfit. But everyone can help. [Lily]: All around the world, however, there are opportunities to excersise. If you take on the discipline, you can lose weight without going through the trouble of eating disorders. [Kendra]: Each person should remember: If you eat healthy you can still have a little junk food. [Elana]:If you excercise, you can still relax sometimes. And you'll still be fit and healthy.

Lily: Some of the affects of being anorexic are drop in breathing rate, hair loss, swollen joints, and brittle bones. Elana: But worst of all, one thing leads to another. About 50% of Anorexic people become Bulimic. Lily: Most people who have bulimia have either low self-esteem or they feel like they are fat and the only thing that they can do about it is either not eat or make themselves throw up what they have already ate. Kendra: Some of the affects of being bulimic are constant stomach pain, damage in kidneys, and sometimes results in death. Kendra: Bulimia is a "psychological eating disorder." It is used by someone making themselves throw-up in order to become more skinny.
