Please help sign this to get more awareness on the pro-anorexia community and hopefully get servers to do more they can to shut them down and ban them if possible Of course banning them completely will never work – because the disorder will just re-make them. Anorexia is the biggest killing psychiatric disorder, and effects mainly females in their teens – although the age range is dropping lower and lower - even 8 year olds are now receiving help for anorexia. Pro anorexia tells girls/boys to starve into perfection; it’s a very addictive community to get stuck into online. If these sites don’t start to decrease in numbers then anorexia is going to become a more spread disorder, more people will suffer – as children spend their evenings online. Do their parents know what they are up to... pro anorexia websites are only 2 clicks away from search engines. Pro anorexia only encourages the illness it does not in any way shape or form give support to these girls – although they claim it does. Seriously forget freedom of speech, when it comes to freedom of speech over telling people to do something potentially life threatening – it should not be an option. Thankyou x

I am 15 years of age, and have suffered with my eating disorder and the behaviours for 4 years. Admittedly I have only recently become against pro anorexia... I realised it is not helping me towards getting better and getting help to have control back over my life. Anorexia really is a horrible thing – certainly not a lifestyle or fad diet. After suffering for 4 years with my eating disorder I now know if I want to get better I need to get help and although I’m not diagnosed anorexic I do have a eating disorder with anorexic tendencies.
