Yes, believe it or not there is a huge rise in childhood anorexia! There is a clinic in the UK that specializes in anorexia in children and its a clinic for young girls. There is a girl that is 8 that was in it and as old as 17 or 18. It is really sad to see children go through this because if not properly treated it can lead to lifelong dammages or even death. If you know a child that is dealing with this serious illness please contact local health care services or child services right away!
