The story doesn't flow, and the story isn't well devoloped. It never states how long it's gone on, and, by the way, you don't become Anorexic just because one person calls you fat. You take it to the extreme, not how Anorexia really is - you don't deal with the complex emotions. An eating disorder isn't just, "I'm fat, so I'll starve myself/purge/over-exercise."

Anyone who has had an eating disorder can see that this story is written from someone on the outside, someone who doesn't actually know what it's like to live with one.

How could you possibly get that I am poking fun at the content?

Gee I dont know, maybe it was... this entire post below:

Wow. How original. Another story about a girl who thinks she's fat just because of some stupid person at school so she decides to be anorexic.

I mean, seriously, how insecure and just plain stupid ARE the teenage girls in this country? If people tell me I'm fat, I don't go anorexic. Yeah, I'm overweight. I realize that it's an unhealthy problem and I'm working to improve it. But I'm not going to develop some eating disorder because some stupid b*tch told me I was fat. Do we not have our own minds anymore, people? Have you completely lost the ability to think for yourself? Do not know what "think for yourself" means? If this is what the world is coming to, I don't think I want to be a part of it. Since I actually am fat, I resent those skinny @$$ girls who complain about being too fat. Newsflash: You're not! So stop frickin' saying it. That only makes us people who are fat feel even worse. "If you weigh 110 pounds and you're fat then I must be obese." That's the kind of thing that runs through my mind when people who aren't fat say they are. Please just get ahold of yourself and realize that who you are is more than just a body type. People would probably blame "Sarah's" eating disorder on some mean b*tches at school who called her fat. It's not entirely their fault. If Sarah wasn't insecure and immature or she didn't have low self esteem then those comments wouldn't have effected her.

Wow. You're excellent at putting words in my mouth.

I'm not "poking fun" at the content (though, I am poking fun at the originality). The content actually p*sses me off. How could you possibly get that I am poking fun at the content? I do not appreciate the content at all and am sick of hearing stories with this kind of content in them. That was the whole point of my original post. Stop trying to promote that I'm saying things I'm not. It's unhealthy and very frustrating.

I think you misunderstood me, madpuffin. The sentence in the quotes was a THOUGHT that runs through my head---not an insult that someone would say to me. I'm not saying to just take insults as they come to you. But don't become anorexic because of it. That's just silly. If you take every single bad comment to heart then you're never going to get anywhere. If people say stuff to me, I just ignore them because they're obviously not worth my time.

And I don't care if she wrote the story or not, Jookly, she's still posting it.

I think you answered this yourself when you said:

Unless I misunderstood, it sounds like you have contradicting attitudes regarding other peoples' comments, depending on whether or not they're aimed at you.

the next Sunday, Dylan wandered around the cemetary until she found her sister's grave, Katie. She died of malnutrition, from anorexia.
***
By the time Dylan got back to the funeral the people were starting to leave. She paid her respects to Mrs. Tarver and left.

Sarah woke up in the hospital, there were machines beeping and whirring, she felt kinda dizzy and numb.
A tall black man entered the room with papers in his hand.
"You are very lucky Miss Tarver, your body almost gave out on you. But we're going to fix you right up."
Sarah just knew they were going to make her eat. No! After all the weight she lost, all the sacrafice she had made in the name of thinness, they were going to ruin it!
"I'm not eating anything! I wont i wont i wont do it!! you cant make me fat, you cant make me!" She got out of bed and tried to fight off the nurse that was holding her, but she was too weak. The tall black doctor stuck her with a needle and she stopped moving

Tell you what. Post the whole story on one
post and it'll be easier to read.

It's just my opinion, but I'm right.

two weeks later, Sarah was walking home from school and she saw her dog in the road up ahead, she dropped her bag and ran after Pepper, but she only got a few feet before she ran out of breath. She sat down and tried to catch her breath, but she couldnt.....
