The theme is eating disorders. Here it’s about a teenage girl who is obsessed with losing weight. It goes so far that she becomes(?) anorexia. She is a perfect student, but that is not enough for her. She want’s attention and compliment about her look.
She is from the beginnig a control-freak and very self diciplined. Not eating anything gives her a kind of control and succes which she has never felt before. Eating makes her feel dirty and she hates herself when she eats something.
She doesn’t want to be out of control and continues to starve herself. A part of her knows that she needs help, but it’s just not able to to talk louder than the anorexia.
All her life she has done things for everyone else. Losing weight is the first thing she does for herself. It’s the first time she chooses to do some thing for herself and she will not give up this feeling. Thanks to her father she at last understands what she is doing to herself. She realizes that she needs to control her life and not let the disease control it. Slowly, with help from family and friends she begins to heal.

I think that she has found her role models in the media; magazines and Tv. At that age you are unsure of who you are. If you want acceptance and safety you have to look the same way as everyone else. Many teenagers dont know themselves and are just trying to fit in to a society that has a narrow definition of beauty. We should have the freedom to look exactly the way we want to but for some it seems hard to ignore the media, which is bombarding us with images of good looking hollywood people. Our society tells us that who we are depends on how we look.
