Good night. See this picture? I found it on tumblr, and I thought it was perfect to talk about eating disorders in this blog.
"This image is what many girls see in the mirror (I would boys too, but the image doesn't fit boys, I guess). I see the same. I can't count the times I've looked at myself in the mirror and started crying. Because I hate what I see. People tell me I have a normal body, and, I'm sorry, but I can't see the same. All I say is flaws. I'm too fat. My legs are too fat. My arms the same. My belly is giant. I have no waist. I have a ugly face. Ugly eyes. Awful nose. I'm horrible. I hate this feeling of being ugly and fat. I can't change my face, so I just want to be skinny, please. In the past I've done crazy diets, but anything worked. It was frustrating because everytime I tried a new diet, I totally failed. And I needed to find a new way to get thinner. When school started, in September, I lost 5 kg in one month. Because I was stressed, and ate less. And I got used to skip meals. Everything was going well, I lost weight, I was eating less, I was feeling less guilty, but when November came, it brought a wave of depression with it. And I started eating more. And, oh God, I feel so guilty, I can't eat this much. I didn't gain any weight, but I wanted to loose. I didn't loose. I need to loose weight. And I know how I'll do it. At the moment, I'm 1.65m and I have 52kg. People say I have the normal weight, but I still think I need to loose. I wanna be 49kg on January. Let's see."

See this text above? This is the way many people feel. Who's fault? Society. Society told us that, to be pretty, we have to be a stereotype. You have to have a good body, a beautiful face, a perfect air. You have to be perfect. The fact is everyone is so different, there are different bodies. Beauty is in everyone. Blonde, brunette, redhead, black hair, blue/gree/purple hair, etc. Green, brown, blue eyes. Big and small noses. Tall and short people. Everyone has their own beauty. Anorexia/Bulimia are eating disorders, serious problems. You don't have to be extremely skinny to be anorexic or bulimic. Anorexia and Bulimia begin before that. Never miss a oportunity to tell people around you how beautiful they are. For some that can mean a world to them.
