I've been arguing with my friend over this topic for quite some time now, and she insists that it is a mental problem. While I on the other hand, see it to be a personal choice. Also, in her defense, and in mine as well, I do think that some people suffer from what I like to call ANA. Those are the few that go to the extreme, not just rail thin, but on the verge of death, those people, yes suffer from a mental problem and need help. The majority of girls that CHOSE to be ANA because its a beautiful thing, do not, and therefore should not be subjected to ridicule and threats by there friends and teachers. Do you agree with me?
