Yes! extremely common!
I don't know exact percentages but in my whole school I had about 3 or 4 friends who had bulimia. Their cases were not extreme, they did not throw up after every meal, but they did make themselves throw up very often. Now in college, I see the same trend. Girls can make themselves throw up their food so easily, and even if they don't do it after every meal every day, this is still considered bulimia as their mind cant accept the amount of food they ate.
