Researchers are finding that teens who were once obese or overweight are the ones who are at a greater risk of suffering from eating disorders. The symptoms that teens show go unnoticed or are overlooked because they are trying to lose weight and working out. Some teens who have annual check ups with their doctors still have symptoms that go unnoticed. Studies are showing that teens are also turning to hurtful and unhealthy ways to lose weight such as: vomiting, binge-eating, laxatives, and diet pills. The reasons behind the growing percentages in eating disorders in still a mystery to most people although it is still trying to be figured out.
