Here is another disturbing video by an anorexic on YouTube. Many young girls suffering from anorexia nervosa have been posting videos known as "body shots" in which they display their painfully thin bodies and ask viewers to comment on whether they look fat. Unfortunately, there are a lot of "haters" on YouTube who will tell them that they look fat. YouTube needs to implement a policy to prevent people who suffer from mental disorders from posting videos while they are not in a rational state of mind.

I read the first 4 pages of comments, and there wasn't one comment saying she was fat. A lot of 'you look good, don't lose weight' or 'you are already too skinny' comments.

But I doubt she'll believe the commenters, because that is the nature of the affliction.

Telling someone who is anorexic that they look too thin is taken as a compliment... trust me. Even things like "disgustingly thin" and emphasizing that the thinness is extreme are taken as compliments. Take it from experience.
