This following sentence will hopefully be the most straightforward and easy-to-understand sentence that I will write.

EATING DISORDERS DO NOT DISCRIMINATE!!!

An ED does not care about your race, sexuality, gender, age, economic situation or pretty much anything else. Everybody can get them and please don't believe anything else!

However, due to the media, and now, popular opinion, everybody thinks that it's limited to teen girls with Body-Dysmorphic ED's. That's not true. Everyone can be affected. That doesn't mean everyone will be, just that it's a possibility.

It doesn't matter what disorder/age group/race/sexuality/gender/etc. you choose to write about, just that you're aware of other options and possibilities.
