Well, to deepen the issue on eating disorder, I've also checked out more details on the net. Here it goes...
Bulimia is an illness caused by food binge( consume large amount of food) that are accompanied by a sense of lost control, which is often associated with depression. Bulimia victims usually vomit out their food to prevent weight gain.
Anorexia works very closely with Bulimia but it's just that Anorexia victims don't puke out their food, instead, they starve themselves. It begins with youngsters around puberty stage. They are usually skinny but are convinced that they are overweight.Weight loss is obtained by many ways. Some of the common techniques used are excessive exercise, intake of laxatives and not eating.. Weight loss is obtained by many ways.

Anorexics have an intense fear of becoming fat. Their dieting habits develop from this fear. Anorexia mainly affects adolescent girls.
If bulimia is accompanied by anorexia, body weight may be extremely low.It's quite devastating to hear that adolescent girls, (at my age) are usually the victim of this illness. Couldn't a teenage girl lead a healthy and cheerful sweet 16? Who should we blame then? Yep, I agree with Johnathan's words that it is actually media who convey the message to the public that skinny girls are more attractive and appealing.
