Previous knowledge: after I research I know that anorexia was the kind of illness that make you skinny because when I was more little my mom saw that I was not eating nothing and show me the consequences that can cause of not eating, I was scared with the images (and the discourse) so I decided to eat and I NEVER have that problem.

 * // Anorexia is a food disorder and appears to be more constantly in countries such as France where women are thinner than the average. Peer pressure is one of the most significant things that influences on self-image. LSE researchers analyzed the influence of peer pressure on 2,871 women between the ages of 15 and 34 who reported their weight, height, eating habits, age, gender, marital status, educational level, professional category, political attitudes and most crucially their own perception of their body image. Many girls have anorexia at an early time such as boys but the boys are not too much. All this became at a teenager because majority of the teens are influenced when they don’t even know what they are doing, and where pressure by their friends to be like the more “popular”. //

•Peer Pressure and Dieting can lead to: 1) Low Self-Esteem : When a person is constantly hearing about their weight from family and friends, it may result in low self-esteem. 2) Depression:Peer pressure to diet and make drastic lifestyle changes, a person may feel depressed because of their failed attempts to lose weight or that they are not up to the standards of those they are surrounded by.

3) Anorexia:Anorexia nervosa deals with the strong fear of being or becoming fat. People who practice this lifestyle wish to maintain an emaciated body weight. There are about 50% of anorexia nervosa patients who engage in self-induced vomiting and/or the abuse of laxatives. 4) Bulimia : When a person suffers from bulimia nervosa, they participate in some cycles of binge-eating. After binge-eating, they engage in some form of purging, that includes such methods as vomiting, abusing laxatives or abusing diuretics. This is their attempt to prevent weight gain. 5) Poor Body Image : if a person is feeling peer pressure to diet, whether or not they are of healthy or unhealthy weight, may develop a poor body image of them. This can lead to unhealthy things when they attempt to diet. If someone keeps hearing over and over again that they need to diet, then they may feel that something is wrong with their image and that what others say is the truth.

Anorexia is the next step of bulimia because if you have bulimia you can get thinner and have anorexia. Anorexia is a realness that is caused by no eating nothing or eating what you should not eat. Some people eat toilet paper, some other eats the rest of the cigarettes but they do it without thinking. This problem is very constantly in France because the rules of being a professional model are very strict.

Anorexia begins in the teenager face that in that age you dont even know what you are doing. The causes of anorexia are:

1)Depression

2)Bulimia

3)Anorexia

Summary:

Anorexia is a very big problem in the girl’s especially teen girls. This is a big problem because you see yourself as if you were fat but really you are really skinny. Also you can’t get out of this problem because you don’t eat and it becomes a habit and then you can’t eat because you haven’t do it for a long time.
