50% of girls from age 8-14 are dieting.
it doesn't sound much but think about it. that's one in every 2 girls.

personally, i think it's disgusting that such young girls who's bodies are still developing are worrying about weight loss.
or health for that matter, young kids used to be healthy back in the day, before obesity was welcomed in.

anyway, that's an apple in my hand. and i'd just like to mention that this seems like quite the contrast to Teen Pregnancy [link] =p

Note: there's a grey patch that looks like my chest, but that's just the colour of that top, it's hard to tell with b/w images (my mum saw it and was like uh..so i thought i'd mention it)

Note 2: i dont expect it but in case, this image is NOT in any way suggestive or provocative. the small top was worn because i'm trying to show that many diet regardless of whether they actually need to or not and/or the effects they have on the body.

Part One - Rape [link]
Part Two - Teen Pregnancy [link]
Part Three - Suicide [link]
Part Four - Domestic Violence [link]
Part Six - Self Harm [link]
Part Seven - Parenting [link]
Part Eight - Child Molestation [link]
Part Nine - Child Molestation [link]
Part Ten - Poverty [link]
Part Eleven - Honour Killings [link]
Part Twelve - Media [link]
Part Thirteen - Smoking [link]
Part Fourteen - Smoking [link]
Part Fifteen - Diabetes [link]
Part Sixteen - Homicide [link]
Part Seventeen - Water [link]
Part Eighteen - OCD [link]
Part Nineteen - Abortion [link]


I thought this pic was going to be super unpopular for some reason. seems people like it, second best in the series after Rape [link]


I'D ALSO LIKE TO INCLUDE
THIS IS NOT THE LAST IMAGE OF THE SERIES

Really nice. I was self conscious about my body until I realized that I don't care. None of my friends do. They love me for who I am and that's all that matters, btw this picture is not provacative in the least. I laughed out loud when I read the part about your mom thinking your chest was exposed. Btw as well, how old are you? You are very talented.

So only half of these girls eat while the other half die from lack of eating? The word "diet" means "what you eat" and someone who has never dieted has never eaten. If more people knew this, less young girls would be getting misdiagnosed with anorexia for discussing their diets with their doctor. It happens A LOT. and it's sexism and skinny/muscle hate.

But in all seriousness: This isn't because of self image or an anorexia epidemic; childhood obesity is honestly a bit of an epidemic and children legitimately are losing weight for their own sake. Either that or they are on a special diet to help them build muscle or even gain weight for a sport or hobby they're into or something else. Losing weight in of itself is not anorexia, unless the girl is losing more than 2 lbs a week for a long period of time, which would result in injured organs. Fear of weight gain, tracking calories, and exercising and lifting weights are all extremely healthy behaviors. Tracking calories will keep a girl from yo-yoing so much that she injures her body and never sustains any muscle, losing weight too fast or without wanting to or realizing it, or gaining weight too fast or without wanting to or realizing it. Tracking food in of itself is good too, especially for the kid that forgets immediately after doing things, such as eating. Tracking calories and food help a kid learn to eat well. Tracking nutrients helps a girl get enough fat to have regular periods, enough carbs to think well, and enough protein to work well. I'm ASSUMING the word "diet" here means "tracking food intake to achieve a body goal such as losing weight."

Don't just hear the word "diet" in a statistic and gasp, people.

in my opinion, u shouldn't diet unless ur doctor says u should. a doctor knows wat's healthy and unhealthy.

Serious question: if you had to drink all of that soda for the teen pregnancy shot, how did you get the flat stomach in this one? I have a sort of chronic, small stomach bulge that makes me look 2 months pregnant constantly. And I'm still a teenager.

Too bad some girls are pressured at such early age.:(They are growing up, for god sake!And I said deliberately they are pressured, because most often its their mothers, who are making them to lose weight.

I really love this image, and think you did a wonderful job with the entire series. I think that's its important for you to know that someone is using the image as their own at [link] under the username ANOREXICpoisin.

You are doing a wonderous work. Really, your art is unique, essential and yet powerful.

Would it bother you if I used some of it for an essay I'm writing for my finals? Giving credit, of course.
