Pro-ana/ Pro-mia

When I accessed these kinds of websites my computer issued me four or five warnings telling me that the information I was about to view was not healthy information and that if I were under 18 I would need parental permission to view it. Great, they sure kept me off there. These websites are incredibly disturbing and judging by the esthetics used by many of them including a picture of a bleeding rose they know that the information they are relaying is both dangerous and disturbing. The problem is that this is part of what makes them so popular, it's all part of this Heroin-sheek motif the fashion industry is so fond of. Hurting oneself to achieve this beauty at any cost. Anorexia and Bulimia have been given personified nicknames Ana, and Mia, as though they are the friends and companions of these girls.
