A disease that emotional girls get themselves into subconsciously, being slowly indoctrinated as they become teenagers, that being beautiful means being skinny.
These young girls do not realise the insignificance of physical beauty and therefore throw themselves into dieting that quickly gets out of control.
Mentally they believe that they need to be skinny and that they will never be beautiful.
What poor anorexics need is some good time to think: life is more than popularity and looks.
Too bad young girls get themselves caught up in a socially competitive culture and therefore find themselves into this horrible disorder.
BASICALLY, the disorder is caused by a lack of intelligent thought, resulting from blind obedience of social expectations, significant celebrity worship, a need to please, a belief that life is about attention from boys and other peers, as well as a thought that the social parts of life is most important.
All this stems from improperly raising female children into thinking they must be pretty and that they need approval. Dependancy upon other opinions, low self-esteem, etc are the fault of society, but it is the GIRL's fault that she did not THINK about her way of thinking, her lifestyle and her world more deeply.
Unfortunately, anorexic girls feel like they've been wronged by the world and they have done nothing wrong and had innocently been led into this world of misguided dieting.
They are mostly correct, since society has taught them that the defining quality of a woman is her feminity: beauty and fragility. BUT...
The thing they do not realise is that they, as human beings, have a responsibility to THINK for themselves, to LEARN on their own, not completely having to be reliant upon guardians or media sources to tell them what to do. Encouraging independant intellectual philosophical thought is important.
Ignorance. It kills.

Pre-anorexia girl #1: Celebrities! They'll know what to do!
Pre-anorexia girl #2: Gosh! I wish Brad would just notice me!
Pre-anorexia girl #3: Being beautiful is EVERYTHING!
Pre-anorexia girl #4: Lindsay Lohan is my idol! I want to be as beautiful as her!
Pre-anorexia girl #5: My life means nothing if that group of girls don't accept me! I have to be thin and skinny! I need a cool social life or I'm screwed emotionally!
Adult observer of such ideas: There is a reason why most anorexic people are teenager girls, and that is that as people grow, they mature and think more often, realising what is important and what is wise. Too bad for anorexic girls who didn't do any of that.

Get the anorexiamug. it's caused when people are depressed or sad, and then they like think badly about themselves and then they don't eat, and they like think they're fat and ugly and stuff. Cause I guess they think eating is the only thing they can really control. So then they start losing weight, (I guess they're eaither more depressed or something) and then even though they're skinnier and that they lost wieght, they still think that they look fat, so then they keep on not eating, and then eventually they realize (or someone else) that it's bad for them and they shouldn't be doing it, even though they think they're fat. It kinda takes everyone a different period of time to realize it. So then they stop, and whenever they start getting sad and/or depressed again, they think aobut not eating again... so ya, that's my description...

Get the anorexiamug. a severe mental disorder in which the individual stops eating because when they see food, the food comes to life and begins to attack them! cutting them with knives and forcing dildos in inappropriate places. you see how fucked up these people can get? good thing its all in their head. if this is not treated soon the victims may die from becoming a skeleton or from deep laceration wounds.

Get the anorexiamug. A self-inflicted disease, that appears mainly in rich teen-aged girls with low self-esteem. They stop eating because they think being a walking skeleton is pretty, then they die of starvation.

Get the anorexiamug. A "mental disease" according to most people. Mental diseases like that don't exist - it's NOT a disease. Diseases aren't self-induced and it is self-induced. Anorexia is the phenomenon where someone who is ridiculously sadistically self-conscious looks at a barbie doll and decides that they're too fat. From that point on, they see themselves only as fat and misjudge.
