Anorexia
As Americans all know anorexia is a serious mental problem taking over our nation today. Anorexia is an eating disorder caused by self starvation. Although anorexia is not just a problem concerning food or weight, it substituting food and weight to deal with the real psychological and emotional problems such as a death in the family, personal reasons, stress and so on. Many cases of Anorexia typically come from the white, middle to upper class families that place heavy emphasis on achievement, perfection, and physical appearance. Before I propose one of my solutions let me tell you why I think this problem can be solved. Anorexia is mostly a problem because of the standards of mass media. The tall slender body is the image that every girl wants to become. Many girls believe that if they weigh so much they would be happier. Peoples self esteem is the major contributor to anorexia cases. It all begins back in grade school when kids would tease each other about their appe
I understand that the society is not ready for this as a whole, but there is really no other solution to this complex problem. Normal is not attainable because everyone has their own opinion of what "normal" is. Everyone needs to realize they are their own person and they will never be anyone else but themselves. The problem begins early, and if we would just learn to get rid of all the judgments made on and by others, then we could accept ourselves more willingly. I feel we should eliminate all the fuss about diet products. Mothers, fathers, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and the kids have to join together to help with my solution. These products are just telling people something is wrong with their appearance. I think the people who do the teasing are only insecure with themselves and that is why they last it out on others. As we all know people suffering from this terrible disease want nothing more but to be accepted. I believe that there can be a possible solution to Anorexia. This solution would never happen in today's society. These products are a waste of time and money that does nothing but put the hope of being skinny to make people feel like a better person. I believe that if we accept people as an individual then we could rise above all the self esteem problems that exist in our society today.
