Bulimia nervosa, the name of eating disorder. People with this illness usually go through binge-eating especially when they're alone. During the time that they are binge-eating, the sufferers are unable to control how much they eat, eat more than other people would. The sufferers try to avoid gaining weight from all this food either by dieting or by fasting. They also behave in certain ways like vomit after their huge meal, exercise too much and take drug that make them go to toilets, to get rid of the food and liquid they have taken.
       People suffer from this illness because of the need to have the "perfect" body so that others will accept them. They start dieting in order to get that "perfect" body. The dieting makes them feel hungry, and so they have an binge-eating again. Then they feel guilty because they lost control, and so they vomit, over exercise and so on.
       Another factor in this illness is the surrenders'environment. Young people, especially, worry about their friends' opinions, and want to be accepted by them. This peer pressure makes young people feel that they have to look a certain way and do certain things. They are not mature enough to say,"I am my own person, and I know what is good for me."
