What causes eating disorders?

** Resource #1 **

 * Read:**
 * The first resource I found was actually on a website that Demi Lovato suggested in an interview. She suggested it for the sole purpose of helping other girls and boys suffering from an eating disorder. On this website, I found a story written by a model with an eating disorder. She talked about going to a recovery center, where people automatically assumed the cliche of a model having an eating disorder. She actually had to clear things up and tell the person that she has had this eating disorder since childhood because she was sexually abused at the age of eight years old. The girl started out overeating every time she was upset, angry, happy, or sad. When she became a model, she became more concerned with her weight, and gradually started losing weight. At first, she was proud of her weight loss. She saw it as an accomplishment. Though she later realized that it was a problem spiraling out of control.


 * Respond:**
 * I was actually really interested by how quick people were to judge her just because she is a model. They showed absolutely no sympathy for her until she went into defending herself. I also found it interesting how she went from one extreme to the next. She started out overeating and then it seems like she had some sort of wake up call. I'm particularly interested in this subject because I actually have a lot of friends that have eating disorders or have suffered from them in the past. Some are still trying to overcome this issue and it will probably always be a challenge every single day. I'm interested in finding out more and finding out how people with eating disorders can get through each day. I want to know what they tell themselves to make sure that they eat in a happy and healthy way.

 * Read:**
 * This is an article where a student describes the types of influences from society and social media.


 * Respond:**
 * The student talks about how girls and boys have a certain expectation as what they should look like. Guys should have muscles and be reasonably skinny, but not scrawny. Girls should be thin with just the right amount of curves. I feel that I already knew this. Everybody wants to be skinny and feel confident in their own body. It also talked about the different types of eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia. I also already knew a lot about that because I have had friends with eating disorders, some that are still working to recover from an eating disorder.

** 5. Sexuality Activity **
([])

I read the National School Climate Survey which was a survey that explained how school is like for those students that are transgender, bisexual, or gay. They used two methods - one being through national organizations and another through advertising on Facebook. The survey showed that the students that participated in LGBT groups and organizations through the school were less likely to be victimized by other students.

 * Link to site:
 * Contact person: N/A
 * [insert image of your site, preferably one with you observing but without other people in it]

__ ** B. Describe your setting ** __
Milford Movie Theater is a movie theater in Cincinnati, Ohio. I used to go there very often during high school with my friends. It is located in a kind of strip mall, right next to a Target and Red Robin. When you walk in, there are places on both ends to purchase tickets. There is also a concession stand in the middle where you can order something to drink and eat.

There is also an arcade and a place with a bunch of tables and chairs where you can sit down and eat. That is where I plan on observing adolescences. You can usually find middle or high schools sitting at those tables eating their food or waiting for a parent to pick them up from the movie theater. I think it will be interesting to observe them and remember how I used to be when I was around that age.
