Wrap Up

So from our discussion we have we have come to see that family, media and society plays a huge role with eating disorders. Media seems to play the biggest, there is alot we can do to prevent eating disorders.  With help from school and parents we can teach young people that being thin isn't the only way to look good.  We epmphasize that too much on being thin, which is unhealthy.  If you look at a lot of our celebrities they are suffering from some kind of eating disorder.  I feel we should focus on getting people to be healthy and fit instead of just pushing to be thin.  It seems it is becomming a bigger andbigger issue in our society.  Not only for teenagers, but affecting children at a very young age when they should be eating more and getting the right ntrition.  They shouldn't be worrying about being thin and dieting, children that young shouldn't have any worries except doing good in school.  Here is a link of ways to prevent eating disorders.
