Also, the whole "go tell them skinny bitches" is pretty damn negative. Aaand tweeting "I tried being anorexic today, only lasted 2 hours" is extremely offensive to those who struggle with the disease and have no choice in it. What is the point in saying you are making people feel good about themselves when you are putting down others?
I agree anorexia rips people apart... I have seen so many of my friends succumb and suffer and at one point, I went through so much pain. It's not something that can be joked about. I still have weeks where I'll only drink a bit or eat a morsel.. At my worst I weighed under 90lbs (I'm 5"6) and at that point medical attention was necessary. I was in the hospital and finally after two years.. I've gained around 25-30 pounds. My friend still suffers from bulimia and is much worse than I ever was. Currently she weighs 78 pounds (she's a junior in high school) and her legs are thinner than my upper arm. She's so frail that when she fell, she had a bruise for months. It's a dangerous disease.

I feel so sorry for you and your friends. I have never had an eating disorder and I am very grateful for that but I have been scarily close, to a point where I could see my ribs and spine in a relaxed position. I know people who have suffered, though, and I can see how horrible it must be. I have also seen many people recover however, so stay strong and know that eating disorders can be beaten :) <3
She's quite the hypocrite.
