Question:

Ashley's obsession with gymnastics resulted in her developing anorexia nervosa, a eating disorder all too common today. Why did Ashley feel the need to be so skinny? How could society help prevent people like Ashley from developing such illnesses?

Look at the photos of a young athlete who recovered from anorexia:

  5. I think she was very obsessed so she felt the need to be so skinny.Because of that, she got sick and was far away from gymnastic. Society helps the people because we can lose our athletes because of this illness.

  7. Ashley got ill,called anorexia, because of her character trait. Sometimes people are pressure by someone so pressure affects people's brain. Or some problems affect their brains. Anorexia is illnesss, and it's a brain problem some people's body inclined to psychological illness, if she were somebody else, she could be anorexia because of her brain.
