Hello my name is Abella and I recently weigthed 94 pounds with the help of starvation and anorexia. wow!!! The things some of us do to be skinny. I'll admit it I was way to skinny, I was weak and grumpy because I couldn't enjoy food.

I can admit I am a becoming a model, I'm between 14 and 15 and I have some pretty big names looking at me right now. I also am sick of ulta thin models. Heres the thing, I was at a photoshoot and I knew one of the girls, she was very beautiful and VERY petite. Too petite. She wouldn't even take on bite of fruit. It's fruit, come on please shove a cake down your throat and expand yourself, gosh it is pretty sad that people let other people lead them in the wrong direction.....strait down the drain to death. Not only was this girl to thin, but at 16 she was to short to be a model, only 5 feet 6 inches and you could tell she was already finished growing, she was very developed. Anyways back to her being ultra thin...she was pushing the limits, starving herself and even drinking drinks with hormoans in it them to make her grow! Hormoans, thats how crazy these people are, but the worse part is her parents wanted and supported her whild doing it.

Unlike them I have choose to start eating again because I realized that I won't grow properly if I don't eat. I am 5 feet 6 inches and weigh 109 pounds. I am healthy and strong. I also am a dancer and I actually feel like I can dance because I'm not week anymore, but then again.....dancing, wow now dancers are following the models down the drain of death. The dancers have to be ulta thin to or usually known as anorexic. You know our world is more into how we look than how we feel. If you feel good, are healthy and have a happy life, why stress weight?

I hope this story leads some teen or child in the right direction to a healty lifestyle. I would ask all the adults and teens to help support the banning of unhealthy lifestyles to hopefully help this generation life a long and healthy life.

Sincerely,
Abella

in due to this case, spanking a child is always a second option. Though probably ineffective on most occations, i am for it. Disciplining our childeren will leave them to understand why he or she has received this ruly punishment. I mean why is there crime in this world. NOT ENOUGH DISCIPLINE!!!. Teaching the kids a short lesson in early life will make them well manored and behaved leaders in the next. with out this we have no morals. Why is there make due wannabes out there that don't believe in this, its understandable that whom ever dosn't believe in shall walk a different path. if your a biblical you would understand. If your not you have been forwarned.

If you don't discipline your child your kids will be adulterous, rule breaking, thieving, liing, cheating, woman beating, man slaughtering, people their entire lives!!!! And Thats that.
you have been warned.

i admire your story hun. maybe if you posted this into your city journal or newspaper this epidemic would stop! People should enjoy their lives, not be alone and stuck to their mental image. People are scared that others wont think they are beautiful thats why they do it. I myself am working out and an ice skater, i need to be strong not petit and too brittle to even stand on my skates. YOU are an inspiration in my life, and i support you no matter what you look like, heck you've still have your whole life in front of you. And Tell those idiot parents of hers no matter what kind of person their daughter is they need to accept her for her not to become a fake plastic barbie doll that can't think for herself, i know she can, you know she can. They are the ones ruining there lifestyle. In order to be happy you need love.

I have raised four kids, well, two are now adults and two are under ten. I do not and have never physically disciplined my kids. My children do not all have identical personalities or the same methods of learning. Yet non-physical discipline has worked for us. My older kids are responsible, model members of society and I am constantly told that my younger two are very well-behaved. Amazing, considering the younges has ADHD among many other disorders that could make him a difficult child to manage. He is my little angel.
I take away privalages and do time outs. I find that the key is consistency. Don't say "no TV for two days" and then give it back early. Then it means nothing. If you have something planned and the deal is "if you don't behave wwe don't go" then if they don't behave..they don't go. Kids need to learn that there are consequences to actions and they will learn to make the right choices.
Almost everyone that I know that yells at and hit their kids have very ornery and misbehaved kids. So I think that speaks for itself against physical discipline.
