Bulimia and anorexia are two eating disorders that are on the increase among young women and teenage girls. Most parents find it challenging to identify the diseases' symptoms, characterized mainly by distortion of body image and preoccupation with food. Most teenagers can hide this symptom from their friends and families until a fatal stage appears. Teenagers who have Bulimia are different from those suffering from Anorexia nervosa. Most of the time, they binge on large amounts of high caloric foods, laxatives, and extreme exercises. The binge usually alternates with extreme diets, which results in weight fluctuations that may seem dramatic. Vomiting may cause significant threats to a person's physical health, including hormonal imbalance, damage to the vital organs, depletion of minerals, and dehydration. Most teenage girls suffer from eating disorders due to their behaviors. There is a need to focus on them to save their lives from adverse conditions; some factors influencing eating disorders are mass media influence, depression and anxieties, and disordered eating attitudes and behaviors. Mass Media Influence on Eating disorder Media influence has been a significant cause of eating disorders among young girls. Media influence affects how adolescents think of their physical beauty, resulting in dissatisfaction with their bodies, failing to match the required media patterns. In the end, searching for ideal and epic bodies results in constant eating disorders that affect these children's health. Uchoa and co-authors (2019) describe that body image entails thoughts, feelings, acceptance, and perception of their bodies. Self-thought of an ideal beauty may lead people to compare the perfect bodies and their current bodies, which results in body dissatisfaction when these ideal bodies are not achieved. The authors add that body dissatisfaction has different effects on boys and girls. Boys only suffer from the pressure that EATING DISORDERS 3 remains socio-cultural, which needs them to be bigger and more muscular, while girls are under constant pressure to have ultra-thin bodies like the models and the celebrities they see on social media. Sometimes the pressure comes from friends and families. Adolescents are highly affected by socio-cultural pressure about their ideal bodies. According to the authors, pressure from mass media usually forces young girls into achieving an ideal beauty which emphasizes women being thinner and curvier (Uchoa et al., 2019). They also add that young girls spend more money to improve their body structures and appearance, leading them to be more susceptible to eating disorders. The development of unsuitable eating disorders is highly related to the achievement of beauty patterns promoted in the mass media. The research carried out by the authors outlines the risk factors that led to eating disorders among young adults. The results showed that 55% of the adolescents suffered from mass media, while close to 20% suffered substantial influence. A close total of 30% also presented body dissatisfaction, and girls were more dissatisfied by their bodies (Uchoa et al., 2019). In conclusion, the authors agreed that media influence could result in adolescent's self-analyzation on the various ideals imposed by society; socio-cultures influence how a person relates to food and appreciate their appearance, which may lead to eating disorders. Relating anxiety and eating disorders John, Marcus, and Stephanie explain that young adults and adolescents, especially females, are highly affected by depression, eating disorders, and anxiety disorders. Depression in eating disorders is positively linked to the burden of illnesses, poor prognosis, and severe symptoms. Most young people in the face of neurocognitive and socio-affective changes are highly vulnerable to mental problems and disorders. Young female adults are at a higher risk of eating disorders. According to the studies, close to 31% of young girls in Australia experience eating disorders (Sander et al., 2021). Eating disorders in young women EATING DISORDERS 4 are usually prevalent. The authors add that people with eating disorders have dysfunctional approaches to cope with their anxieties and emotions. Comorbid anxiety symptoms after eating disorders may result in a relapse as people go back to their old eating habits. According to the research, young people have anxiety disorders strongly tied to eating disorder psychopathology (Sander et al., 2021). The study added that increasing prevalence rates are highly attached to depressive disorders in young adults, especially young females. Eating disorders are associated with more significant severe affective symptoms and depression. Conclusively, the authors argued that comorbid depression and anxiety symptoms are highly marketable for more significant severe symptoms and results associated with eating disorders. When maintaining the factor for eating disorders, it is essential to consider perfectionism. The research's main aim was to investigate the relationship between eating disorders and anxiety in female adolescents. According to the study, severe eating disorders were connected to more significant factors of depression and anxiety (Sander et al., 2021). Low self-esteem was highly linked to depression which would affect young girls leading to eating disorders. The authors agreed that there is a strong connection between depression and eating disorder-related impairment. Disordered eating attitudes and behaviors among teenage girls Jones and co-authors investigated eating disorder attitudes among teenage girls. They argued that eating disorders were common among young women and adolescent girls in Western countries. According to statistics in the study, close to 27% of young females aged between 12-18 were linked to disordered eating (Jones et al., 2001). The authors also added a need to introduce programs that will help prevent the impact of the disorder. Most girls are more concerned with their appearance, which results in unhealthy eating patterns. The research argued that most women in Canada expressed dissatisfaction with their body appearance, which led to their ambition to lose weight. The weight loss attitudes and EATING DISORDERS 5 behaviors may result in physical and psychological risks. Eating disorders are connected to other health risk behaviors like drug use, smoking, suicide, depression, and alcohol. According to their research, more girls had an attitude about their weight and food and weight loss behavior which was supposedly unhealthy. The most prevalent way to lose weight was to be unhealthy dieting behaviors like induced vomiting, purging, and bingeing. Among the adolescents, the researchers had found disordered eating behaviors to increase gradually. Although there is no settled successful technique for anticipation, it is fundamental that people increase mindfulness in experts, so every chance is taken to screen or intercede, or both, and advance good sentiments about the body. Nonjudgmental questions regarding self-perception and eating mentalities and conduct can permit these issues to be recognized in the essential consideration setting (Jones et al., 2001). Sadly, most doctors do not consistently evaluate for eating disorders, albeit the current examination proposes that scattered eating mentalities and practices are adequately typical, at any rate in Canadian young adult females, to warrant such routine request. In conclusion, the authors suggest that girls be screened for eating disorders before joining middle school for targeted preventive interventions. Conclusion A teenage eating disorder is an issue that is rampant and affects primarily young people, especially young girls. Mass media is one factor that influences eating disorders among young girls as they focus mainly on their physical appearance and society's ideal bodies. Other factors that influence eating disorders are depression and anxiety disorders among these teenage girls. It is important to educate girls on their perfect bodies and help them through depression and anxieties to prevent eating disorders. A team approach is also an important strategy to help prevent and treat eating disorders among young people. EATING DISORDERS 6 References Jones, J. M., Bennett, S., Olmsted, M. P., Lawson, M.
