Pro Ana and Pro Mia are groups (mostly on websites) where people with eating disorders encourage other people to continue their eating disorders.

They have tips of how to binge and purge, how to hide it from family and friends, lists of what your weight should be at compared to how tall you are, and even how to get down to eating only 200 calories a day!

Not only is that hurting (and potentially killiing) themselves, they are hurting their families and friends as well.  We need to instead promote body acceptance and self love.

Please sign this petition to get those websites to stop promoting and encouraging eating disorders. Even if one life is changed because of this, it will be worth it.

Anorexia is killing millions of people every day. The fact that people are glamorizing it is sickening. Sure, you aren't holding a knife to someone's throat, but giving out tips and encouraging people to kill themselves slowly with anorexia is just another form of mass murder that should be put to an end. It's hurting the children, and it's hurting our future.

should be banned! I Do understand those boys and girls have support from eachother, but is sic, the tips they are giving to each other. They are telling how to vommint the easiest, the best, the fastest... There should be a forum where they talk to each other and make each other realise they can do somthing about the problmen and not make it worse

Pro Ana is what I believe has provided my thoughts and if there was no pro Ana available I believe I wouldn't be where I am now. Stop this from happening to others.

it makes me so sad to see people encouraging each other to be sick. we need to stop this loop and help people get better instead of worse.

why is this even legal? teaching kids how to destroy their own bodies is sick and twisted. shut them down now.
