The easiest answer is ... this is classified as a mental illness.
Things that fuel this disorder are the need to control the ONLY thing you have 100% control over or lack of control over: food.
Anorexia vs. Bulimia.
People dealing with these disorders are often in familial situations in which they have little personal control and are abused or neglected.
Another would be trying to fit an impossible "standard" that the media or peers have supposedly set. You will find many of these dysfunctional eating patterns beginning in Middle School when comparisons are frequently made to assure that one "fits in".
I would suggest that parents of children between the ages of 12 to 14... make sure that nutritious meals are being consumed as a family as many times per week as possible. Not only because the decline of family time is on the rise, but also to keep a keen eye on your youngsters diet during the most important body building years of their life. Osteoporosis and Diabetes are on the rise.
