Answers:
I don't think people say that anorexia is so common among teenage girls, they say that of anorexic people, the vast majority are teenage girls!. Which is true!.

There are lots of girls with body issues, but true anorexia is a class of its own!. It is not common!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's more common than that because most don't admit to it!.
When the number of obesity rises, so does the number of anorexics and bulimics!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
