Can boys be anorexic?!


Question: yes they can! I work in a boys facility (kind of like juvenile detention) and they have signs up on the fridge reminding them to not talk about weight loss or gain.

they are self-concious of their weight too.. and one boy has absolutely refused to eat the last 2 shifts I've worked because he's concerned about his weight.

they can be anorexic- or it can be an underlying factor to something that is really bugging them.

Of course....

this is a ridicoulously stupid question of course they can be..

Yeah, but you probably will never meet one who'd admit to it.

YES, they can!

yes, but anorexia is more commen in women

yes anorexia knows no gender

Boys can be anorexic....yes! But this affects women more because of the pressures of other women who feel it is important to stay thin.

Dainel Johns hello. He was anorexic and he's a boy.

yeah its called Manorexic! seriously do u not watch t.v this guy on tyra banks was talking about his anorexia struggle

Of course, eating disorders have no preference.

Absolutely. boys are as concerned about their image as girls...except there's more support and sympathy for girls.

Yes. Absolutely. It's recognized/associated more easily in females just like breast cancer is but it is most definitely found in both males and females.

And the answer Phil and anyone else says about being gay you're an ******!

these days teens are obsessed by their looks health does not matter it is bad.........and unhealthy

Um, duh.

Yes. The eating disorder is not primarily something that afflicts females. As for comments regarding women who most commonly have this disorder, it is not primarily caused by a need to compete as women. It is a perceptual view of oneself, in which someone sees themself as imperfect. It has a lot to do with the psychological state that the person is in when it comes to self esteem and then stems from there.

Yes but it is more common 4 girls to be anorexic

Indeed they can. Although there are far more girls diagnosed with the disorder, it is a growing problem with boys as well.

it they are gay.....

yeah, and if a guy is anorexic he's probably gay
