Children pressured to anorexia


Even at 10, children feel the pressure to have a perfect body which can lead to anorexia , a new study has founded.

Researchers has found that girls at primary schools were more likely to feel happy with their bodies if they are skinny, while on the other hand, things get more complicated with the boys feeling unhappy if they thought they were too skinny or too fat.

Harvard University warned that children who already feel under pressure in primary school will be more likely to use risky and dangerous dieting techniques, like induced vomiting, fasting or even using diet pills or laxatives later in their lives.
