Is it wrong to think Pro-Ana sites are okay?

Please think before you answer.
And by that I mean, don't just say "YES - YOU FREAK", because that's not exactly a very informative post. Explain why you think so, blah blah blah.

I have self-esteem issues.
I'm not anorexic, and I don't have eating problems. My BMI is about 17 so, I'm not fat or anything.
Anyway, sometimes, I browse pro-ana sites  - I don't know why, but I find them interesting.
I guess it's just when you see girls on there that are bigger than you, it makes you feel better about yourself.

Today I stumbled across a Pro-Self-harm site, which disgusted me. See, I self-harm - but I don't condone it in any way. And it was just ...weird. I don't even understand how people can. But I can understand pro-ana sites.
...Sort of.

Ah, this was a weird post.
I get the feeling I'm going to regret pressing that looming green button.

Fair enough, *I stumbled across a Pro-Self-Injury site.
If you want to argue semantics.

No, I didn't even know such things existed, but hey it is the web. Anorexia kills, that's why. And it's a topic that most interests impressionable people, who often take advice too seriously.

they're basicly the same. [sorry about the caps]. pro ana sites are really just the same thing.

remember using those sites mean the thinner you get the fatter you feel.

I think that any "pro-problem?" site are simply NOT moral.

I can understand why people use them, but I just don't think it is right. Simply because of the people who can potentially use them, look at some of the people on this site for instance.
Immature people who will take and do any advise given to them.

But what I don't understand about your post is that If you were disgusted by pro-self harm websites why you are not pro-ana and Pro-mia sites.
In a way eating disorders is self-harm, I've known people who have come close to death.

Wow, I bet every pro ana site was made by some 16 year old girl who thinks it's ok because she isn't dead.
