Ana & Mia

Ana and Mia are common names for calling anorexia and bulimia. Nowadays, teens try to look as the models on the magazines and on the TV. Several companies and advertisements have been made so the teenagers see that been very skinny and poor feeding doesn’t look good at all. Anorexia and Bulimia are two diseases that everyone in the world knows what are, just for fact, anorexia is the eating disorder in which you eat much rationed meals or you don’t eat at all, and bulimia is an eating disorder that consists in eating too much in a very short time and they evacuate by forced vomiting.
I found this issue very sad, I know that four of my friends which I know since I was in Junior High, have an eating disorder.
Eating disorders show that a lot of girls have a self-esteem very low, which affects them on school, work; relations with other people and some of those issues have no turn back and in the worst cases this both disorders can led to dead.
On fortune, nowadays there are a lot of organizations that are dedicated to help teenagers and women that have this disorders, they are clinics in which they are intern and help them to have a better self-esteem.
