  11. My opinion on eating disorders is that I think it is a horrible thing to have. I think this because eating disorders are a deadly thing and sometimes it is hard to get back to normal. Also because you never know who will have it.Eating disorders can happen to anyone, even if they look like someone that wouldn't. My opinion is that this is a world issue and it affects anyone! That is my opinion. Opinion

  12. My conclusion is that I learned that eating disorders can happen to anyone and it doesn't matter if you are a guy or a girl. Also that it doesn't just hurt the person that has an eating disorder it also hurt their family. I also learned that sometimes you have eating disorders because of your job or hobby. Some of the jobs are an athlete, dancer, model, ect. That is what I have learned. Conclusion
