I shouldn't have to tell people, but eating disorders are not a joke. I don't think there's anything that makes me angrier than when people make jokes about bulimia or anorexia. It's the same thing with suicide. Not funny.
There's a girl I know who's a bit overweight, but she's active. I don't know about her food intake, but by the looks of it she eats pretty normally. Today she said, "I need to lose weight. Anorexia starts now. I'm gonna puke after every meal." And she started laughing. There's a small chance that she has stuff to hide and is saying this to cover it up, in a way, but I do not think so.
I don't think I've ever been so angry in my life. I wish there was more outreach in schools for this type of stuff. I mean, so many individuals suffer from it. I remember not knowing who to go to, so I just.. let it happen. It's not acceptable. Just a thought. I don't understand why people would think it's okay. It's like making fun of a mentally disabled person right in front of them, except they wouldn't really be aware of it.
I'd like to add that I haven't relapsed yet!(:
