1. Have an eating disorder
2.Care enough about what people think of you to develop one
3. "Hate" your parents for trying to help
4. Encourage or glamourise all of the above on here
5. To be THAT skinny, 99% of guys find it repulsive

Sort your lives out before you kill yourselfs!

I think what we need is not to discriminate against those with eating disorders, but try to prevent them from coming about in the first place. So I think you are most right about number 4. That is something we need to stop - the glamorisation of eating disorders and poky bones.

the many people whobring it on themselves are pathetic but many can't help it and i think that needed to be pointed out.

I don't think this is any more constructive than to say that being fat is repulsive to guys. How are girls that are naturally "THAT skinny" supposed to feel about a statement like this?

Nobody is naturally a skeleton if they dont have some underlying medical condition.
Stop trying to justify people using eating disorders to look like frail old people, its not helping anyone

So if someone does have an underlying medical condition to make them skeletally skinny, they are repulsive? Anyway, you didn't say skeletally skinny in your op, you said "THAT skinny"... you can have an eating disorder and not look like a skeleton :/

I'm not trying to justify anything, I'm sick of hearing people say that thin people are repulsive as if they think it will negate people's ideas that they have to be thin to be attractive.

Its a complete fact that the vast majority of guys find people like that disgusting to look at.
It wasnt put forward to make anyone feel beter about having a "condition" it was merely a fact.
All your doing is trying to justify people with a variety of eating disorders looking the way they do.
They dont need sympathy, they need to sort their fucking lifes out and stop being so stupid

While I agree, I do think you need to get some facts straight. Eating disorders are considered diseases. It's a mental disease. It affects perception of their bodies so they feel that they're fat or gross. Usually, there's an underlying cause to the eating disorder that most people don't recognize at first. So they actually do need sympathy and they need help, because having an eating disorder is the same thing as having any other type of mental disease. They can't "stop being so stupid" as you put it because it's how they percieve themselves in their minds eyes.

So yes, while it is disgusting to glamorize eating disorders, or to be so skinny that your bones are sticking out through your skin, there are some times where these people need to be helped, not told to 'stop being so stupid.'
