As a teenager living in this present year, I feel inclined to speak on the ongoing issues affecting this generation. One being scarily confronting statistics of eating disorders that are continuously rising.
Of course, mental disorders have always been around, even when they were not recognized as real problems, and we are very fortunate to live in a society where mental illnesses are not only recognized but constantly advocated for.
Arguably, this might be the sole reason numbers of clinically diagnosed eating disorder sufferers are on the rise, therefor meaning it is essentially a good thing.
However, did you know only 1 in 5 people who suffer with disordered eating habits seek medical help, ana 1 in 3 people who seek medical intervention aren’t provided with the correct help needed to make a full recovery?
Utdrag
It’s not all new though, unrealistically skinny girls have been plastered on the fronts of magazines for ages, pages filled up with picture perfect model girls with their sparkling white teeth, clear skin, slender figures. It’s just that now those girls are inescapable.
We´re constantly told that we are fine as we are, that we should love ourselves and not change ourselves, but how can we when these digitality enhanced girls and distorted ideas of 2pretty” are waved in our faces at any given moment?
