What Facts did I enjoy learning about?

Well the book i am reading is about girls that are self conscious of their bodies so they starve themselves. there aren't that many interesting facts so far, but i am enjoying this book because it's very interesting how even the most girls that seem perfect have terrible secrets, like for example there's this one cheerleader girl and she has eating disorders she usually doesn't eat for a week to show other people how strong she can be. then theres phoebe a sweet girl that gets good grades and does not care what she looks like she is the bigger type. There are a few facts along the way, like how girls sometimes make themselves throw up their food or starve themselves to get thin. i did not really enjoy these facts but they are interesting.

Did I discover anything that might help me outside of school?

With this book I think i will learn about what food can sometimes do to you, I wouldn't make myself throw up or starve myself because I like who i am but maybe i can help someone if they are in that situation. This book is based on true stories and was written by a psychotherapist who helps these people everyday and maybe this story might help me to not do those things or to prevent those things from happening to other people.

What else would i like to learn about this topic?

I would like to learn how to help the people that are starving themselves and to make them feel better because i know this happens to a lot of teens and is really horrible how they care so much about how they look that they would starve themselves or make themselves throw up.

a technical word:

Bulimia- An eating disorder, a desire to loose weight by overeating and then fasting and self throw up

She decided she would make some excuse about why she couldn't go to practice. If they dropped her, awful though that would be, at least her bulimia would't be discovered which would be far worse. -PAGE 25
