sad :(

I feel like i'm invading a private space, but this is the internet and everything is public:

I was reading Courtney Martin's book (Perfect Bodies, Starving Daughters) earlier and she talked about these "ana" (as in anorexia) online communities... I had heard about them before and so I decided to check it. I found myself completely depressed but also angry. I'm so furious that so many girls have to deal with this. So angry that our society fosters this mentality. It's so incredibly fucked up. How did we get to this point?
