Be On The Lookout!
Eating disorders are a very serious issue facing many people these days. Of course, the most targeted group for these disorders are teenage girls. I went to an all-girls Catholic high school and witnessed this firsthand. Every day at lunchtime, so many girls would be sitting at their tables, talking of course, but never having a bite to eat. Some of these girls were just acquaintances of mine, but others were really close friends. Please watch out for yourselves, girls, and your friends too. If you notice a strange behavior in a friend’s eating habits, talk to her immediately. If you really suspect that something could be wrong and she won’t admit it, go directly to a parent, teacher, or guidance counselor. These things should not be taken lightly as they can become very serious and even life-threatening. I understand that we all want to watch our weight and be skinny, but eat healthy and exercise to achieve that goal! You need to eat in order to get your metabolism going. Never go to desperate extremes just to look “good” or fit what society makes us think we need to look like. Be your own person and watch out for your friends.
