Child Shrinking Away Analysis

Decent Essays
Only my mum knows about my ED but when I told her I didn't live with her anymore. Sure, she tries to make me eat every time I visit her, but she doesn't make a big deal about it. She offers sometimes to help with my medical bills but I usually want to pay them myself. I said once to my dad that "I have little problems with eating" (obvious understatement) but we were both drank and he probably didn't get it and neither of us has talked about it since.

    I would like to be able to lose anywhere from 10-15 pounds at the end of the school year, and workout five days a week for over an hour each day. By going public I will tell all of my friends about my plans and my brother most importantly, because I know that he will push me the most to accomplish this goal. Some of my friends who workout frequently could become my new workout buddies, and they would be the ones who push me to workout for more than an hour, and they would make sure I got a good workout in. I think by telling my parents they would be the ones who are the most positive reminders about it, they wouldn't bring up me not being able to do it. My biggest problem to not being able to lose weight is the way that I eat, there are days where I constantly snack and I have to fore myself to quit.…

    Criminal Justice Frontline’s video, “Second Chance Kids,” takes its viewers through a controversial topic: life in prison for those who committed crimes as teens.
