A workshop with Dr. Diane Levin. Dr. Levin, Professor of Education at Wheelock College, Boston, is the co-author of So Sexy So Soon in which she explores current pressures on children and how adults can promote healthy development.
From a very young age, girls and boys are exposed to images of appearance and behavior that influence how they think about their bodies, and what they want to be, do and wear. These messages may confuse children about the nature of relationships and promote precocious sexuality.

Question by : DO I HAVE AN EATING DISORDER??(ANOREXIA NERVOSA)?
Hi, i think I have an eating disorder. I’ll go ahead and tell you when I actually became “conscious” of my weight. It all started when I was 10 (6th grade) I slowly started going on diets and then I starved myself and then I threw up my food, but that only lasted like a few days. I’m now 13. But I think I have anorexia nervosa. I took lots of eating disorder quizzes online (lame I know) and it all said I had a chance of having anorexia nervosa. But what’s weird is that when i took those quizzes, most of the questions they asked i thought were “normal” stuff everyone would think.. Like whenever they asked “my friends tell me I’m thin, but I do not believe them cause I feel fat” *answer choices*
Wouldn’t everyone NOT believe their friends? And lots more… Here are some of my “symptoms”:

Question by <3NaeNaebooLuvsyouMj<3: Why am I not very hungry often?
Everytime I eat, I take a few bites and then im full. I only eat maybe once or twice a day because of how full I am and im trying to wonder why. Also, I had a history of Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa if that helps.

Question by : What exactly is classified as Anorexia Nervosa?
A friend of mine had an issue a few years ago where she couldn’t gain weight and she just kept slipping under. She was said to have Anorexia, despite the fact that she didn’t feel as though she needed to stop eating, she just couldn’t put weight on. We have a Food Tech assignment and two girls drew ‘Anorexia’ out of a tin. They are studying it now and according to my friend they have a very narrow-minded view about what is classified as Anorexia. What do you think should be classified as Anorexia?

Answer by bllaker10 I’ve heard that Anorexia is simply the lost of appetite.
