who wants to be super skinny? how many men say "yeah i wana see your ribs"?? come on..aim for a tight vagina and good cooking skills and the worlds your oyster...
Anorexia isn't just about being 'prettier' or 'thinner' for many girls it's about having control of something in their lives, or even making oneself a smaller target. Many girls who go to anorexia aren't doing it for beauty, but for something they can do on their own.
Just like to say, when I first watched this I was 13 years old, I had never heard of pro ana until then, all I knew was I was unhappy with my weight like most teen girls, so like most teen girls, I wasn't going to listen to the bad things, just that the websites would help me lose weight and fast, I've been struggling with Bullimia for two years now, thanks Fearne..
@AvecAmourBelle I hope you're not angry at me for saying this but I advise you get some help with it from a doctor. Life is better when you don't have to worry about your body :) I'm trying to put on weight so you're not alone <3 good luck.
anorexia is not just about 'being thin'. it's about control and having goals and the satisfaction of being able to do something yourself when everything else seems to be falling to shit.
and she is saying a fourteen year old would believe everything some random person says on the internet? when i was fourteen i was not a complete and utter idiot. seriously... >_<
youre all being very judgemental. I choose to join pro ana sites AFTER i got diagnosed with anorexia. I didnt want to join the sites and I CERTANLY didnt want to become anorexic. Its just something that happened and took over my life. And now i cant stop. Those who join Pro Ana sites just to find info on HOW to lose weight arent truly anorexic. Theyre just wannabes
@letmechanistsrule Who says about dying? ARE YOU FAT? YOU KNOW WHAT I FEEL? I FEEL FAT! I'm saying, at least being skinny is better than being fat. Fat people get tease. Skinny people don't. YOU IGNORANT FUCK.
@YishanTan You're an idiot! Who says being skinny is better than being fat? That's just your blind opinion. Fat people get teased huh. Well I'm being kind of rude right now and I'm not even FAT! Lol, "who says about dying". smh. I never knew that you can live without eating.
@YishanTan Skinny people don't get teased? I'm naturally lean, very thin, and frequently would have strangers put a hand round my arm or comment on how thin I was when I was out in clubs etc. It wasn't until I went to a dance school and was dancing for 2 hours a day, 5 days a week that I changed my metabolic rate and gained over a stone. Skinny people DO get teased, get out of your own head for one minute.
when they "expose" these websites, they are mostly adding fuel to the fire for girls who are already pro-ana. Anorexics are proud of how thin they are and WANT to find these websites. This is the equivalent of showing meth addicts how to make meth in a Gatorade bottle.
I find eating disorders very interesting cuz I have no tendency for eating disorders and I want to find out why ppl get ED and how it works. But I know that I'll never fully understand. It's such a complicaded mental illness
Who is calling these kids fat? Don't parents teach their kids to respect others? I'm waiting for the news to tell parents to teach their children respect. News always makes it sound like the viewer isn't doing anything wrong, it's somebody else out there we have to worry about. Hey! Parents! YOUR kids are in school, calling other kids fat!
I am watching this video because i am intrested in documentarys, but wow it does seem mighty triggering, i would never do anything like that though, guess ill just have to so it the hard way *Runs around* XD
haha bullshit! you can tell she's acting 'omigod I'm dreading going on, omigod look how many there are...' yerrrr right like she's never gone on those sites before or crash dieted whatev.
Haha I'm on that rainbow diet, the half apple one and so on. :P I actually felt alright, although wednesday you're meant to 'fast' and I ended up binging. :3
Fearne Cotton is the WRONG CHOICE for a programme dealing with this subject matter. She does not understand it at all, is quite patronising/up herself too. There are plenty of other celebrities who've admitted to suffering self image/body issues that would of been a better choice. I would of picked Geri Halliwell as she has had body/self image/eating problems herself in the past and would understand it as she been through it herself.
I made a CHOICE to follow those websites. Most of the people I talked to did the same. Eating disorders are totally different. I never looked at the photos of just skin and bones because they look really ugly to me. Pro Ana helped me lose a stone in two weeks. Afterwards, it took me two weeks to put two stone back on.
@TheIndieRocker4Ever alot of the people on those websites dont have eating disorders and they try to have the lifestyle. like seriously go on tumblr half of the girls are trying to be anorexic and it is a disease you cannot choose.
@GrapeFruitsable It's really not about "oh that is so pretty"; sure, it starts with wanting to get thin, but it ends up about numbers, about control, about the thing you can fall on every time things go bad. It ends up being a comfort mechanism, and a way to feel like you have control. Getting that thin is just the end result of the disorder.
@princessbabe1313 You're going to watch something titled "online anorexia" which has 5 parts and somehow not know that it would be triggering seriously what is wrong with you
and that picture they blurred out, is Samantha Kendall a woman who is DEAD from her illness....NOT from being PRO. Stop using REAL people with illnesses for Thispiration! its wrong and NOT something they would condone.
It sickens me to watch this. The fact that young people are subject to such things is truly awful. I can't believe that ten year old said she was worried about her 'big thighs'. Back then, I didn't even know where my thighs were ! So sad.
@poney255 Most of the time men get binge eating disorders. That means they eat too much, but don't purge or exercise it off. But mostly, it's girls that get the underweight eating disorders. (My friends account D=)
@ Michael1Burns cont'd: Heavy people often suffer abuse. This is despicable behaviour & it must be countered. Obese people shouldn't have to endure it. Banning something, though, is a fear-driven reaction that societies often resort to: it mimics decisive action. However, it fails to address the complexity of a problem or even examine the contributing factors. Anorexia, like obesity are prevalent for many reasons. Simplistic torch & pitchfork 'solutions' will prove ineffective.
@ Michael1Burns cont'd: More people will die & become disabled by the complications of obesity by far than will do do from Anorexia & Bulimia. Should we shut down all fast food joints? Forbid them to advertise? Should we ban the production of unhealthy fare such as chips & soda? What of the amount of people who'll become alcohol dependent or kill due to DUI? Is banning alcohol the solution? Society tried that. Banning encourages subterfuge & defiance & drives crime.
@ lesterclaypool1: I;m glad to hear that your wife recovered from her illness. Reaching our for, accepting & working with others towards recovery takes great discipline, tenacity & courage. Eating disorders do have frightfully high morbidity rates & many people don't understand the danger they or their loved one is in until it becomes visually drastic (a skeletal daughter, for ex.).
No no no no no no no no.... websites shouldn't be controlled! The parents should be controlling their children! IT NOT ILLEGAL FFS! People shouldn't be encouraging the collapse of internet neutrality! You can't and shouldn't censor the internet! Im angry.
The little girl who seems the most concerned reminds me so much of Neneh Cherry, one of the loveliest women in tye world...inside and out.
The reality of anorexia and bulimia is that they have the higest fatality rate of any psychological illness. If you do not get treatment you WILL die.
If my wife hadn't recovered I wouldn't have her now, and I couldn't imagine life without her.
I agree with Fern I think them sites should be banned because the people who go on them 9 out of 10 times they are anorexic so to go on a site like that and be told you are to fat you need to lose more weight could possible kill a person and I think more should be done about it. I I'm 15 and overweight and have bad asthma and I find it tuff to take part in sports because I get laughed at and people do bully me quite badly about it but so I could understand where an anorexic person is coming from
Family members become 'sick' by association. Fearful guilt-ridden family members impotently tip toe around the Anorexic person afraid to do or say anything that'll exacerbate the problem or 'trigger' a binge/purge cycle (in a Bulimic). Home life revolves around the Anorexic & even when at work or school, family members remain preoccupied. I'm not saying this to blame the sufferer, but to underscore the fact that this is a very complex condition.
Visit these sites frequently & familiarize yourself with the thinking, the messages & the belief system. Knowing how the mental distortions work is one key to countering them. Anorexia is as much about power & control as it is about extreme skinniness. Food aversion & thinness are the visible 'tools' the Anorexic person uses to control her environment.
Fearne suggests banning these websites as a partial solution to Anorexia. Never in history has stifling freedom of speech proven effective. It only keeps provocative issues conveniently out of the sight & mind of those who'd rather look the other way. The tips on these sites can be used by astute parents to alert themselves as to whether their child is developing an eating disorder; esp. the 'how to fool people around you' tips.
I believe Fearne's heart was in the right place but complex mental illnesses must be addressed mental health professionals. Her own photo appeared on one pro Ana website & when she was jogging she looked Anorexic herself. It isn't enough for her to look shocked & say " I don't approve of this". Decrying excessive thinness with her mouth while embodying the skinny ideal sends a contradictory message to her young vulnerable fan base.
They don't do it for guys. They do it for themselves. They think they're either not good enough or not beautiful, or both, and they think that starving themselves will fix everything. It's a serious problem. My sister's had it for two years.
this woman don't get a single thing about anorexia i got ed, i've watched 3 damn minutes of this video this is way to much that i can stand. why would you ban the only place where someone totally on his own, lost, sick and misunderstood could have just for a moment some support and some people to talk to. take some psycological lessons guy !
I still do not understand how people can say the any Eating Disorder is a 'life choice'. Why would someone choose to battle themselves inside and out? Why would someone choose to have a voice in their head telling them to over eat or eat nothing or when you do eat you MUST purge/take something to get it out? Honestly, who the hell called it a life choice?
well shes friggin skinny she doesnt understand. I'd love to be thin. Yes, it makes everything better, you get more complements and it seems more healthy. I'm pro ana and I don't give 2 cents bout it. Better bones then fat!!
Thing is, she may not understand and she does say stupid things, but at least she's TRYING to understand us! It's something you can't fully understand unless you've experienced it.
one thing to note is that not all "pro-ana" sites actually promote anorexia or other eds. many sites are just a place where people who suffer from eds get support from others who know what they are going through. many are actually support sites and actually help people with eds recover from them. many people can't get treatment, and these sites help them.
yeah...a young, skinny, successful, gorgeous looking girl in a leopard outfit comes and asks you why you don't like yourself the way you are... very convincing... good job.
I don't like her AT ALL!!! If you just look in the mirror while chewing GUM for one second, THAT could cause Anorexia! How could she say something like that?! "How can people WANT to go on," ANYTHING could relate to feeling you need control, perfection, or both! Something that could be so simple and so unimportant to you could mean so much to a sufferer. People go on these websites because people like her are reinforcing the message that NOBODY understands! :(
+ just cos theyre kids doesnt mean they dont have a mind! ferne thinks its stupid that kids are interested in their body image well shes part of the industry that makes them want to be skinny - the media?!
If that kid doesn't have an ED already, she's on a fast track to one. I hope the producers of the show got her some help, or she'll end up in hospital before she's 15.
this woman is retarded. Pro ana and Anorexia is NOT the same thing. Pro-ana is a DISGRACE to people that ACTUALLY have eating disorders.
and REAL anorexics need a place to go to sort out their issues, ones like me that have no where else to go, ones that fucking cant get treatment, ones that need someone that understands to talk to, THATS why sites exist. these pro ana retards are SHUNNED in most of these sites (but of coarse they left that out). Bloody idiots.
To all of you commentors who say Fearne is stupid, you are so, SO wrong. I know what its like to have a mental illness and its nasty when people get it wrong but Fearne is not getting it wrong. She wants to help them. It is shocking for her when she sees such extreme things.
@Vivian6220 yeah its a fucking choice isn't it, chronic head aches, hair loss, stopping their period, yellow teeth, brittle bones, suicidal tenancies and constant exhaustion is a fucking choice
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS SICKNESS DON'T FUCKING COMMENT.
@viannafashionwhore Actually, a large portion of Anorexics start off simply dieting or exercising to loose weight. They don't go in thinking how great it would be if they ended up with the bones of a person three-times their own age or any of the other things. So, at first, it starts off as an un/ill-informed choice... but it is still a choice that, for many, begins the downward spiral.
Very interesting insight to anorexia in the online mag psycho--therapymagazine
it's found in the search engine. Incredible videos tagged on. I've never seen anorexia like that before; also incredible insight into how to lose weight without being noticed what you are up to by the folks. Dr Julian Fairbanks is an expert on the matter. Great interview he does with Victoria Bekham.
People like that are there to not feel so alone in the world. They have NOONE.
You just leave us alone! i don't know where i would be without support of people who know what i'm going through!!!
just because these websites are online, it doesn't mean that people like YOU have to log in. Just keep your nose out of other people business everyone knows you only did this for the publicity. shut the fuck up.
I think that she really underestimates how smart teens are and how much they actually know about the world... Just because they see a bag of bones doesn't mean they will want to be ano... Just leave these people and their crazy sites alone and if you don't like them you don't have to log on
Noone can understand what it is like to have Anorexia unless they have been through it themselves. You will never fully recover. Pro Ana sites are a safe place where we can go without being told ..Just eat a f*#king sandwich.. it is more than just about weight and appearance. That is a symptom of the psycological trauma going on. Keep pro Ana sites open so we are not isolated & hav a place where we can be understood. When used by the right people .. It is lifesaving!

lmfao she's so clueless. some of those websites are pretty sad to see, but her being disgusted by some that provide those of us with eating disorders a place to talk and find support... ugh.
if you had shown me the way out, i wouldn't have taken it, because i was too scared and thought it was the only place for me. subcultures are everywhere now, online anorexia is just one
i think people on this video have ignored the word "online" in the title. online anorexia as in the subculture, not REAL anorexia. i got into the subculture of self-mutilation when i was a teen. i tell you, when i got away from school and the people, it was like my head screwed on straight and i can see the world for what it is now. subcultures are only a way out when you're lost. i was so lost in it i didn't realise i didn't like it and needed to escape.

Simplistic torch & pitchfork 'solutions' will prove ineffective.

@ Michael1Burns cont'd: More people will die & become disabled by the complications of obesity by far than will do do from Anorexia & Bulimia. Should we shut down all fast food joints? Forbid them to advertise? Should we ban the production of unhealthy fare such as chips & soda? What of the amount of people who'll become alcohol dependent or kill due to DUI? Is banning alcohol the solution? Society tried that. Banning encourages subterfuge & defiance & drives crime.

@ lesterclaypool1: I;m glad to hear that your wife recovered from her illness. Reaching our for, accepting & working with others towards recovery takes great discipline, tenacity & courage. Eating disorders do have frightfully high morbidity rates & many people don't understand the danger they or their loved one is in until it becomes visually drastic (a skeletal daughter, for ex.).

No no no no no no no no.... websites shouldn't be controlled! The parents should be controlling their children! IT NOT ILLEGAL FFS! People shouldn't be encouraging the collapse of internet neutrality! You can't and shouldn't censor the internet! Im angry.

The little girl who seems the most concerned reminds me so much of Neneh Cherry, one of the loveliest women in tye world...inside and out.
The reality of anorexia and bulimia is that they have the higest fatality rate of any psychological illness. If you do not get treatment you WILL die.
If my wife hadn't recovered I wouldn't have her now, and I couldn't imagine life without her.

I agree with Fern I think them sites should be banned because the people who go on them 9 out of 10 times they are anorexic so to go on a site like that and be told you are to fat you need to lose more weight could possible kill a person and I think more should be done about it. I I'm 15 and overweight and have bad asthma and I find it tuff to take part in sports because I get laughed at and people do bully me quite badly about it but so I could understand where an anorexic person is coming from

Family members become 'sick' by association. Fearful guilt-ridden family members impotently tip toe around the Anorexic person afraid to do or say anything that'll exacerbate the problem or 'trigger' a binge/purge cycle (in a Bulimic). Home life revolves around the Anorexic & even when at work or school, family members remain preoccupied. I'm not saying this to blame the sufferer, but to underscore the fact that this is a very complex condition.

@ToND1Ne
In my wife's case her family members were the cause of her illness. When she moved 500 Km away from her family she was finally able to recover.

Visit these sites frequently & familiarize yourself with the thinking, the messages & the belief system. Knowing how the mental distortions work is one key to countering them. Anorexia is as much about power & control as it is about extreme skinniness. Food aversion & thinness are the visible 'tools' the Anorexic person uses to control her environment.
ToND1Ne 6 months ago
Fearne suggests banning these websites as a partial solution to Anorexia. Never in history has stifling freedom of speech proven effective. It only keeps provocative issues conveniently out of the sight & mind of those who'd rather look the other way. The tips on these sites can be used by astute parents to alert themselves as to whether their child is developing an eating disorder; esp. the 'how to fool people around you' tips.

@ToND1Ne
Exactly. Censorship doesn't make a problem go away, it just drives it underground.
lesterclaypool1 6 months ago
I believe Fearne's heart was in the right place but complex mental illnesses must be addressed mental health professionals. Her own photo appeared on one pro Ana website & when she was jogging she looked Anorexic herself. It isn't enough for her to look shocked & say " I don't approve of this". Decrying excessive thinness with her mouth while embodying the skinny ideal sends a contradictory message to her young vulnerable fan base.

They don't do it for guys. They do it for themselves. They think they're either not good enough or not beautiful, or both, and they think that starving themselves will fix everything. It's a serious problem. My sister's had it for two years.

I still do not understand how people can say the any Eating Disorder is a 'life choice'. Why would someone choose to battle themselves inside and out? Why would someone choose to have a voice in their head telling them to over eat or eat nothing or when you do eat you MUST purge/take something to get it out? Honestly, who the hell called it a life choice?

one thing to note is that not all "pro-ana" sites actually promote anorexia or other eds. many sites are just a place where people who suffer from eds get support from others who know what they are going through. many are actually support sites and actually help people with eds recover from them. many people can't get treatment, and these sites help them.

I don't like her AT ALL!!! If you just look in the mirror while chewing GUM for one second, THAT could cause Anorexia! How could she say something like that?! "How can people WANT to go on," ANYTHING could relate to feeling you need control, perfection, or both! Something that could be so simple and so unimportant to you could mean so much to a sufferer. People go on these websites because people like her are reinforcing the message that NOBODY understands! :(

this woman is retarded. Pro ana and Anorexia is NOT the same thing. Pro-ana is a DISGRACE to people that ACTUALLY have eating disorders.
and REAL anorexics need a place to go to sort out their issues, ones like me that have no where else to go, ones that fucking cant get treatment, ones that need someone that understands to talk to, THATS why sites exist. these pro ana retards are SHUNNED in most of these sites (but of coarse they left that out). Bloody idiots.

viannafashionwhore 9 months ago
@viannafashionwhore Actually, a large portion of Anorexics start off simply dieting or exercising to loose weight. They don't go in thinking how great it would be if they ended up with the bones of a person three-times their own age or any of the other things. So, at first, it starts off as an un/ill-informed choice... but it is still a choice that, for many, begins the downward spiral.

it's found in the search engine. Incredible videos tagged on.

Great interview he does with Victoria Bekham.

Noone can understand what it is like to have Anorexia unless they have been through it themselves. You will never fully recover. Pro Ana sites are a safe place where we can go without being told ..Just eat a f*#king sandwich.. it is more than just about weight and appearance. That is a symptom of the psycological trauma going on. Keep pro Ana sites open so we are not isolated & hav a place where we can be understood. When used by the right people .. It is lifesaving!

i think people on this video have ignored the word "online" in the title. online anorexia as in the subculture, not REAL anorexia. i got into the subculture of self-mutilation when i was a teen. i tell you, when i got away from school and the people, it was like my head screwed on straight and i can see the world for what it is now. subcultures are only a way out when you're lost. i was so lost in it i didn't realise i didn't like it and needed to escape.
