Causes

• Anorexia Nervosa along with Bulimia are the two
  main eating disorders that trigger most
  adolescents. Those with eating disorders are
  often single-minded and very determined to loose
  weight. Their daily lives such as relationships,
  problems, stress, and mostly school is the core
  to sparking a distorted mind. The models we see
  on TV or those who we carefully observe within
