Anorexia and bulimia are quite different diseases at first glance, but are identical in nature. They appeared quite a long time ago, but flourished much in our days. Nobody can deny that anorexia and bulimia is a serious issue of modern times, which can’t be underestimated. Tens of thousands of people all over the world are tormented by these two eating disorders. These diseases are, in fact, are the product of social consciousness. This is concern of both adults and those under 18s.

“I will be beautiful when I manage to lose weight” – this is a common thought for millions of women all over the world. And after this thought come to their mind for the first time it stays there forever – and in the result lots of people suffer from eating disorders. Our society’s idea of a woman’s beauty which we can notice in various media resources every day makes great amount of people especially women and girls take eating disorders treatment.

Spreading of anorexia and bulimia in today’s society can be explained when we turn on TV or Internet where we can see lots of very skinny models on stage or just on the beach. These models are image of a woman’s beauty today. And while looking on them lots of young girls want to be like them. This fact make them lose weight, but many of them don’t have any idea of how to do it correctly – so they just stop eating and they don’t often notice that they have not only become skinny, they have already become sick.

There are no people today who have never heard about those who are constantly keeping to a very strict diet or even refuse eating at all. These people are usually too skinny and the main fear for them is to gain weight. Most of these people have a serious illness which is called anorexia. The official name for the disease is anorexia nervosa.

Okay. There are some misconceptions about this BonyPink person.
1) The girl bonypink originated from a Yahoo Group in 2002 (it may have been 2004/2005, I am still searching). It was run by a Japanese girl who wrote in very broken English and described her anorexic body: "bony very bony. my skin pink in lots place. pink and bony" Some time after, she stopped writing. It has not been confirmed whether or not she has died.
