If I see someone like her in cafes and restaurants, I would feed her, free of charge.

The formation years of a child are the basic and most fundamental. Those children in undeveloped countries weren't taught those ideas of beauty. They DIDNOT have the reasources in which to sustain themselves. In THIS case her mother beated those thoughts into her head. When we are young we believe our parents because they're supposed to be right, because as children, all we know is them. It IS the mothers fault and she is strong for fighting annorexia.

That is one of the factors. There are traumatic factors leading to annorexia (like this case), OR someone who, like you say, has compulsive tendancies. It deppends on the case, on the individual person.

@NoobSoldier2006 You are aware anorexia and other forms of eating disorder are a forms of compulsive disorders yes? When EVERYTHING in your head tells you to do something you do it. The human mind creates a logic to justify itself and alter perception. When you perceive a situation and come to the seemingly logical conclusion to act on said compulsion, you act on the conclusion. This is medical fact. You think anorexics like passing out? Do you think bulimics like rotting away their teeth?

@darlagoddesshate You're ignorant to think that people do this because they have to. She didn't have to starve herself. She chose to eat only 5 cornflakes per day. Whatever she thinks is all on her. If she wanted the love from her mother, she could've asked for it other way. She chose this way because she wanted to. Many people are starving because there's no food. If you want to starve, then be my guest, but don't expect any sympathy when your health trouble is because of you

@NoobSoldier2006 different individuals have different psychological make ups. Everything is percieved differently by different people. She was isolated and raised in an enviroment that vilified age, in other interviews she said she was close to her mother(who later killed herself after Isabella died) and she reasoned that her weight was a burden, that it made her mother love her less. That was a psychological trigger for her, everyone has one. You are ignorant to think other wise

@yesshelby EXCUSE YOU, but there are millions of people who were left by their parents. THE STRONG people became very successful in life. THE WEAK people blame things around them about their own misfortune. The parent of KIDS in 3rd world countries didn't just left them, THEY ARE DEAD, and those kids don't starve themselves because of their self image.
