It is very dangerous to starve your body. Your organs can shut down, and it could result in death. Your body needs food and water to live. You risk ruining your metabolism, it shuts down after extreme starvation. It can cause a host of other problems as well.

As a teen struggling with an eating disorder I can tell you that it is just plain horrible. Constantly comparing yourself to everyone around you, weighing yourself at least five times a day, watching all your friends eat normally and not gain weight, wishing to see someone else in the mirror, being too afraid to go out with your friends because of the way you look... it's exhausting. I just want to be beautiful, and right now I feel as though the only way to achieve that goal is to be thin. Everyday is a day spent wishing to be smaller. My current size (5'4 120lbs) is what makes me the most unhappy in my life, so I feel like if I could just be skinny, I would happy.
