The media sees it as a story but not as big a story as when celebrities gain weight. When actors look "scary skinny" sure they're on the covers of magazines but when a celebrity gains weight like Jessica Simpson did they're on CNN getting trashed. The media sees gaining weight as a far worse thing than a little old thing like anorexia. Thin is in. Everybody knows that.

Does anarexia cure obesity?

Anarexia gets rid of obesity, but anarexia is much less healthy than obesity. People who are anarexic don't get enough nutrients, and nutrients are what enable use to do everything we do. Thinking, moving, growing, healing, and everything our mind and body does, requires nutrients in order to do it. Food is our fuel, and without it we have no energy or strength and we can't think straight. There are better ways to get rid of bodyfat than by malnutrition.

Does bulimia and anorexia occur because others influence?

Usually bulimia nervosa and anorexia nervosa stem from a long build up of "not good enough" feelings. They're both linked to depression and self-hate, so in a sense, yes. Others may have a great influence on whether or not someone may turn to anorexia and bulimia for release. Some people just blame the media for anorexia in teenagers these days, but I believe with the struggles of a teenager in itself, the media is sort of just a trigger.
