I know they think because their fat and I know about it from school but the only thing we really didn’t go over is to why they would do it.Don’t they know what they are doing to their bodies and that they could die?

bulimia is when u cant control it, u just barf after eating. but i think that people who turn to anorexia have something wrong in their head, and that they just need some professional help. its not normal, and u will die from it.
It’s really sad actually … they know they can die. The fact is they do it not because of the “fat” thing … thats kinda the excuse for the behavior. The real reason is becasue throwing up or just not eating is the ony thing they have total control over in thier lives. They can choose when to induce vomiting and when to stop eating all together.
People that have it usually are very depressed and /or have relationships or family that are abusive , or they have been through such a trauma in their lives they think their live are out of control.
I think it begins by peer and social pressure to be thin and “good looking” but after a while it becomes a control issue. People suffering from an eating disorder often find that their appetite and eating habits are the only thing in their lives that they have power over, and by sticking with that ritual or routine, it gives them a kind of authority.
Although this is not always the case, many know that this is an unhealthy lifestyle, but they can’t stop, just like any other addiction. People suffering from this should be encouraged to get professional help, as they can’t fix the disorder by themselves.

In most cases it’s not a matter of not knowing what they’re doing, I think that only a small part of it even has anything to do with self-image so much as manipulations of circumstances and genetic predispositions
