They Did Not Know They Were Beautiful

A story about three teens struggling with eating disorders and self image issues.

For health class. Kinda. Basically. I wasn't sure if my teacher would actually read it and felt disappointed, so now it is here.

In Ontario, it was found that 27% of girls between the ages of 12 and 18 were engaged in problematic food and weight behaviour. Eating disorders are now the third most common chronic illness in young girls; it is estimated 3% of women will be affected by an eating disorder in their lifetime. 12 times more young girls will die this year due to an eating disorder than for any other reason. Eating disorders can affect anyone of any age from any gender. Do not let your loved ones go down the road described above.
