Welcome

Welcome to my English 1311 Blog. In this blog I would like to bring attention to an illness that goes unnoticed by many everyday, Anorexia Nervosa. In this blog you will find links to my assignments done in English 1311 on this eating disorder. I have also included links to websites that give helpful information on Anorexia Nervosa. Anorexia Nervosa is an eating disorder caused by an individual’s decision of self-starvation. The individual is fearful of becoming overweight. Many of the signs and symptoms are unnoticed. This illness is commonly found in young teenagers and women. Most of today’s youth has low body images. This problem needs to be fixed because many people are losing their lives to this illness.
