In this article, Dr. Yellowlees addressed the fact that selfies-which are consistently evident in today's culture-may be fueling the rise of eating disorders. Eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge disorder are all forms of eating disorders. These disorders are harmful and unhealthy.
Eating disorders are just another sign that political culture is everywhere. Everyone talks about the one "fat" president we've had in our nation because it's uncommon. People are affected by the word "fat" as if it's toxic. Our culture tells us that bigger is wrong and that's the problem.
Eating disorders are an issue that is commonly ignored because no one wants to face the fact that our peers struggle. We, as a society, like to pretend that everything is just fine because it's easier to accept than the truth. As a member of multiple social media accounts, I personally agree with Dr. Yellowlees. The "selfie" trend is often used to post pictures of our bodies, which to many young girls and boys, can be toxic. We are still too young to accept our bodies and we are constantly bullied at school so any little thing can persuade us.

I really like your post. Eating disorders are more common than most people realize and social media can be very harmful to someone who has an eating disorder. Your post is very simple and to the point. Good job.
