About Me:

Omg so like this is my tumblr. I post what I like and what I hate lol. I'm on here way too much honestly. I need a life. I enjoy going places and doing things but I rarely do either of those. I have an obsession with 21 jumpstreet. the show not the lame movie. I enjoy crazy shoes and thats where all my money goes. Shoes and coffee. I'm a bit lazy, obviously. Ugh. Follow if you want.

Yet women have to wait seven years for treatment. … “America’s definition of Anorexia is anyone who is 15 percent under their standard body weight. If you applied the same metrics to the Japanese population, than more than half of the country’s young women would be considered Anorexic,” he says. … More disturbing is the endless billboards and magazine covers of young women-often depicted as little girls with pubescent figures- used to sell everything from milk to mobile phones. This young, innocent girl image is an extension of a unique Japanese obsession with “kawaii” culture. It’s a celebration of all things cute, such as dolls, cartoons and comic book figures, and often these Kawaii images can become sexualized as well. The line between a reality and a fantasy body is blurred and some doctors believe it can contribute to body obsession among young Japanese girls “There are certain images that young people want to pursue that belong in Kawaii culture,” says Dr. Suematsu, “Young girls especially want to look like their favorite characters, even if they are not real. And, often these characters are unrealistically thin.” Psychologist Dr.Norio Mori concurs. “Kawaii in Japanese means cute. And for many young girls that’s the ideal.” Dr. Norio says the influence of the media and Kawaii on young girls means that there are more patients coming in with eating disorders- and they seem to be getting younger. “One of my Anorexic patients is only 9 years old,” he says. If a girl develops an eating disorder in her teens in Japan, she often continues to battle it in the twenties and sometimes even longer. … “Japan is one of safest countries in the world. It has a very low crime rate, so women don’t stay in when it’s dark. They go out whenever they want, because they are not afraid. They also work and have money to buy things and access the conveniences of the city. Japan’s major cities are vibrant at night and all the shops are open till late, some never shut. A person with an eating disorder can go into any convenient store –which are on every street corner-to buy binge food whatever time they like. These stores also lack human interaction, so a binger can go into the store over and over again and not be embarrassed about their compulsive behavior.” … “Often the waiting list to see an eating disorder specialist is 7 years, and doctors usually only take patients that other doctors couldn’t treat,” says Dr. Yamaoka. “There are simply not enough professionals who are trained to deal with the issue,” says Dr. Yamaoka.” Read more: http://www.georgiahanias.com/blog/?p=12
