Do eating disorders affect you mentally?
Most eating disorders are mental to begin with. They rarely stem from just the simple desire to lose weight. If they have a negative influence in their life (media, 'friends', family, bullies, etc.) telling them they are fat then that is what causes the eating disorder. People who develop eating disorders are usually just trying to control their lives. Being able to control how much they do or do not eat is a way to maintain that illusion of control which (mostly, to them at least) makes up for lack of control in other areas of their lives. Many people who suffer from eating disorders never fully recover because they have been relying on this outlet for so long that they have never learned positive ways to deal with their problems. Eating disorders are a cycle and most people tend to fall right back into the order of things because it has become a habit.

Why does anorexia always affect women'?
Anorexia does not always affect women. About 10% of anorexics are male. Anorexia - and most other eating disorders - are more common in women for a few reasons. Women naturally are more social, and thus focus on social pressures more then men. When social pressures demand thin-ness, women are more likely to develop eating disorders. A woman also experiences more changes in her body (pregnancy, for example) that can fuel body dislike and eating disorders. Women also tend to be more critical of each other than men are to each other. This harshness or bullying can lead to low self esteem and eating disorders, too.
Why do young chidren obey their parents and adolescents don't?
I suppose it could be linked to the fact that young children look up to their parents and rely on their parents more than adolescents. When you're young and cant do everything for yourself, by yourself, you rely on your parents to do it for you, thus obeying them when the time comes. Adolescents may tend to think that they dont need their parents anymore and can do it all on their own without the help of the "annoying" adults in their lives. Bearing in mind that not ALL adolescents disobey. And good disciplining right from the start can go a long way!
