A lot people in the United States, especially girls, force themselves to vomit in an attempt to lose weight on a regular basis. Not many people know or believe this but Bulimia is considered an addiction. Since this disease is an addiction it cannot be cured by medication and is considered terminal. If you have a friend who is Bulimic and you want to get them help. Just sit them down and talk with them about the dangers of forcing themselves to vomit. Some of the dangers are the following:
1. Chances are with the way that they’ve been trying to lose weight, it will be harder to lose weight some of the easier ways.
2. Their bile (stomach acid) can ruin their esophagus. But why care about that that’s on their inside. But want to know what? That bile can dry up in their esophagus and certain parts of their mouth leaving them with some really horrible breath.
3. the Bile can eat away at the enamel on their teeth and damage their gums leading to one or more the following:
a. Make the teeth sensitive to anything hot or cold, which can hurt like a bitch.
b. Leave the teeth unprotected from things such as cavities
c. The worst one. May even lead to their teeth falling out.
Personally, I’d prefer a girl with a little meat on her bones, then a twig with horrible breath and no teeth. I’m, pretty sure a lot of people feel the same way.
Thank you to Nikki of Long island for giving me the subject of this article.

3It’s so unfortunate that so many girls suffer from this terrible disease. Life can be really hard, especially as a teen, and problems like this are all to common. I think it’s important that writers like you bring these issues to the forefront. That’s why I love working for the group I’m with, Girl Talk, is a program designed to empower teen girls to lead healthy lifestyles and make responsible decisions by saying no to underage drinking. Girl Talk bringing girls together to talk about everything they’re dealing with from alcohol and peer pressure, to friends, to boys. Our website http://www.grltlk.org has some great resources for girls about these topics. Right now we’re holding online voting in our first ever “Reel Girls, Real Life” create your own TV commercial contest where we asked girls to submit video ideas on the dangers of underage drinking. The winner will get to create a TV commercial that will be professionally produced and aired nationwide. Vote at http://www.grltlk.org. So to any girls out there that just need a place to go, check out the site. You can also friend me, Katie O’Connor, on Myspace at http://www.myspace.com/grltlk and facebook!

4I have to say, that I could not agree with you in 100% regarding Deal: Forcing your Self to Vomit (Bulimia) | Online Teen Magazine, but it’s just my opinion, which could be wrong

10Hey…You don’t understand. People suffering from Bulimia Nervosa can listen to what you tell them but to them, losing weight and purging outweighs the downside…You’re right. It is an addiction. At first it may start out by thinking: “Hmm…I need to lose some weight and deiting doesn’t work…I won’t become bulimic or anorexic, because I’ll only vomit a little…maybe 3 or 4 times a week…”. That’s what you think at first…Then it turns out like you just want to lose a little more weight, and soon you lose control of what you’re doing and how often, still denying that you have anorexia or bulimia…I know this because this was me…
I tried not making myself sick and i’ve had help from my friends, but you don’t understand how hard it is. I haddn’t vomited purposely for 5 days…But tonight, i watched something about bulemia on TV and it reminded me, I ate my dinner and went to the bathroom…and now I’m here…Telling you this. Don’t judge people who do it, they can’t help it, and telling them to stop attnetion seeking or being stupid/pathetic will make them feel so much worse.

14I agree with the facts you’ve listed in your entery, but let’s face it: People who vomit to lose weight certainly know it ain’t good, but they can’t face it at the same time. It is like a drug addiction in deed, since i know a friend who does Bulimia and i’ve spoken with her when i knew. she got upset and told me like really bad things, but i knew it was because she was feeling so ashamed and “sorry” for her self.
I’ve also watched a special show hosted by Oprah in which she spoke about Bulima, and she’s spoken with women who face this problem..
