So, I'm sure you have all heard about MK going for treatment. I think it is great that she is seeking help, the thing that bugs me is how the media is portraying the story. On TV today they focused on how Hollywood puts pressures on girls to be thin, and suggested thats why MK has the ED. Although for some ppl. the ED MAY acually be caused by a desire to be thin there is also sooo many other things that go into an ED. I'm sure MK didnt think "hey i'll have an ED just to become thin." I think it has to do with psychological issues too. I dont think it is fair for the media to focuse just on that one issue, without giving other info on the ED. I dunno if I am wrong on this or not, but I have researched ED's quite a bit, and found most the time it starts out having nothing to do with being thin. It makes me mad that people make comments such as "you dont have to be thin to be pretty" and all that when they dont really know the whole problem. I know people are just trying to help her, but I think they may be going at it the wrong way. Do you agree, or am I also taking it the wrong way also?
