Getting smaller everyday.
Waist and numbers
Restricting all but 600.
There's so much fighting.
They don't notice.
One friend is worried.
So lying is what she learned.
This is her dream.
She just wants to be...
Perfect.
Skinny.
No matter what happens.
She won't stop.
It may stop her.

This is something I wrote about myself. I was going through anorexia last year and never thought I would get through it. I did though! :)

&ldquo;Here&#039;s what&#039;s not beautiful about it: from here, you can&#039;t see the rust or the cracked paint or whatever, but you can tell what the place really is. You can see how fake it all is. It&#039;s not even hard enough to be made out of plastic. It&#039;s a paper town. I mean, look at it, Q: look at all those culs-de-sac, those streets that turn in on themselves, all the houses that were built to fall apart. All those paper people living in their paper houses, burning the future to stay warm. All the paper kids drinking beer some bum bought for them at the paper convenience store. Everyone demented with the mania of owning things. All the things paper-thin and paper-frail. And all the people, too. I&#039;ve lived here for eighteen years and I have never once in my life come across anyone who cares about anything that matters.&rdquo;<br /> ― John Green, Paper Towns

This sent chills through my body. If this is about you, i want you to know that you're beautiful and you will get through this. If not then Tell the person who it is about what i wrote up above lol. I think this really captures a lot about teenage life and what the media puts out there. I hope that this helps whoever else is going through this problem too.
