Anorexia - Thin isn't in.
We are running a campaign against Anorexia. Our campaign: As a team, we decided to set up a campaign against Anorexia. We want to make people think twice about how they view people who suffer from it, but ultimately we want to achieve an increase in the understanding of mental health problems like Anorexia. Sometimes it seems impossible to control Anorexia; or if you do it may well go wrong. People might not fit anymore and everything for them will fall apart. Therefore our aim is to make people more aware of this problem. Especially teenagers as these are the years when people care the most about their own self image.

At the moment, there are a couple of campaigns against Anorexia running in big cities such as London, Manchester and Birmingham. However I can see it has little or no effect in other smaller places such as Epsom where we live. Everyday, we can see girls no older than us walking past the shops, and the only thing they can see is fat. They are blind to the hip bones and the ribs; they disgust themselves when they eat a cream cake, as they make her want to be sick. Or hide.
