WRONG WAYS OUT

19

-We, as teens, pass through many situations and as a solution we want to take the easiest way. Society now is contaminating our minds with wrong ways out in life, for example: drugs, alcohol, sex, Internet, vigorexia, eating disorders, and more. We might fall to them because of peer pressure or because “everyone do that”. But you are stronger than that.

Personal experience from Araceli who lives in McAllen, Texas. (anorexia)

Hello, my name is Araceli. My friends and I wanted to be models with such a passion that we began searching for companies or jobs at a very early age. My body complexion is big, not fat, but wide, meanwhile my friends were skinnier than me. We found a company who was looking for fresh new models, and that was us. Unfortunately they choose my other 2 friends except for me because of my “big and fat body”. I was on a severe depression and I began not to eat at all and to throw up. Now I am hospitalized and in recovery.
