Having just barred skinny models from the catwalk, health officials in Spain are now banning websites celebrating anorexia. Pro-anorexia has proliferated through new social networking sites. Emaciated kids are IMing each other vomiting tips, swapping Fiona Apple MP3s, creating Thinspirational slideshows and video-blogs about starvation.
Health experts say these sites mask the truth behind a disease that causes one in five sufferers who do not seek medical help to die prematurely. The pro-anorexic community is upset because they view the eating disorder as just a lifestyle choice, many dubbing it "my friend Ana."
these people deserved to die prematurely about 16 years ago.

i had and anorexic friend living with me for 3 months during my a-levels, she had dropped out of school after gcses cause she was so damn skinny then her parents chucked her out, hence why she was at my house. my mum welcomed her into our home at first, but soon we realised how much she lied, stole, puked and blocked the sink, and eventually our family was under so much strain, financially and emotionally that she had to go somewhere else. she has a myspace page, i looked at her page a while ago to see how she was doing and found a whole load of fucked up picture comments from some fellow anorexics, basically encouraging her to keep losing weight (she is currently under 5stone and is 5foot 6). they "feed" off eachother, and screw eachother's lives up more and more. i got really angry and sent all her "friends" hatemail.

I knew a girl that lost 50lbs over the course of a summer before we became friends.
She gained 35lbs back in two and half months hanging out with we me, partying, and getting hardcore munchies.
All these anorexics need is me and a couple G's of bud.

we must put an end to this before it becomes widespread. in the wildest chance that my plane crashes in the himalayan mountains i'll need company with some meat on their bones or i'll surely die of starvation.

You call these girls names, and put them down. How many of you realize anorexia is a DISEASE for some people?? The site you have linked is a SUPPORT site. It does't give tips and it does not teach girls how to lose weight. In fact, it discourages "healthy" people from trying to be "ana".
I know everyone who reads this post will call me stupid and all kinds of names. But that is okay. It's one reason I have this DISEASE. I have been put down and hurt all of my life, controlled, and abused. So it isn't like complete strangers can put me down anymore than I can put myself down.
If you want to pick on a pro ana site, go find one that actually deserves to be picked on.
Have a great day!

Down with fashion ideals that look the same, make people restrained, anxious, weak and small minded!! Long live ideals of diversity, strength, happiness and a growing living person!!
I mean, if you choose to be alive, do it. It can be pretty fun, you know.

Interesting the action that's being taken...
Seriously, are teens swapping vomit tips and Fiona Apple mp3's?
I can see the latter of the two, but the mp3's?! That's outrageous!

If only girls would take the time to get educated about the ways to achieve a healthy figure, rather than having a nutrient-depleted, bones-protruding outcome as their aim.
Fact is, there are healthy ways to gain weight and lose weight. A little time and attention is all it takes to get clued up on what to do.
