I made this video for my Honors English class in order to show that the media is not the sole reason for eating disorders. Although the do contribute to the sheer popularity in them, their are several other factors that contribute to this disease, such as: mental illness, family environment, personality type, society’s views, etc…

I also wanted to raise awareness of other eating disorders besides Anorexia and Bulimia, however, due to a time restriction on the project, I could only include a few.
Lastly, I wanted to mention that not only do eating disorders cause death in the strict medical sense, but they destroy lives in other ways. The sufferer becomes isolated, lonely, depressed, hopless, and completely miserable. Sometimes it feels as if death is the lesser of the two evils, compared to this psuedo-life we live.

As a recovering anorexic w/ bulimic tendencies, I ask everyone with an eating disorder this: Why not try to recover? Life can’t get any worse, can it?
