The "pro-ana" movement -- WTF?

What I always find really horrifying about anorexia is I've seen a couple of documentaries on TV that are about 'How families suffer' - eg what the family of an anorexic has to go through while the naughty girl kills herself. And then you're watching and feeling helplessly bitter at these families where no-one talks to each other, where they're so locked up and silent and cruel, but they don't even realise. I always wish I could scream in their faces 'talk to your fucking daughter, cuddle her, stop thinking about yourself ...' Maybe it's just coincidence and some anorexic girls don't come from families like this.

Actually, I guess what I wrote may be a 'slight' oversimplification of the problem. It's something that's so hard to talk about, but then, that's what I felt was so painful watching these documentaries, and reading things anorexics have written - everyone finds it so hard to talk about.
