I'm in the ninth grade. My latest assignment for my English Honor's class was to write an argumentative essay concerning a critical issue that teens and young adults are facing. I chose to write about anorexia and how it is depicted through photos and video and the impact which that has on society (a negative one).

Eating habits have changed drastically and rapidly over the years. Today, the number of overweight or obese children and adults in the population has increased while the numbers of lifestyle-related deaths have also increased.

Though they'll know exactly what im talking about. Ill do my best to explain this as though im talking to someone who has never even heard the phrase before. I've had quite a few different forms of it so i know what im talking about. My first real encounter with ocd was the most obvious one, contamination, the fear of spreading germs or getting infected by something.
