What causes eating disorders

Eating disorders may develop partly in response to difficult life experiences such as abuse or social pressures arising in puberty and in growing up. They are also more common in cultures where it is considered desirable to be slim. Genetic factors seem to be important, especially in anorexia. Sometimes people with an eating disorder are depressed, and they may have obsessions.

I think this is really eye-opening as far as anorexia in the modeling business. You could maybe even including some common, every day anorexia problems or self-esteem boosting speeches that could inspire this little 'grade 7 or 8 girl'? You could use that for another blog post but as for this one, I'm pretty grossed out so you're doing a good job!
