Why is it that so many teen girls have weird eating habits?

I'm a teen girl myself, but I have noticed this in all of my friends and almost all the other teen girls I know recently! It's not like they're all anorexic. A lot of them just don't eat lunch anymore. They aren't obsessed with weight or anything, they just don't like eating at school? They all don't eat that much anymore. I feel like I don't eat all the much (I'm a pretty small person) but I eat more than them.

When I ordered a pizza, I could have eaten the whole thing easily and everyone was going on about how big it was. This seems to be affecting everyone.

Others just eat junk food all the time. It's so extreme. Why is this happening to everyone??Why is it that so many teen girls have weird eating habits?
social expectations and pressures. some of them won't eat because they want to match up with what they think the world wants while others eat because they are stressed. they dislike their bodies so they eat, the over eating makes them fat, this causes them to dislike their body more, so they eat more. it is a nasty cycle.

what needs to be done is very hard. we all need to eat healthier and have more realistic expectations when it comes to looks. Marilyn Monroe today would have been considered a plus sized actress as she was a size 16. what do these fashion people think real people look like because it sure isn't what they try to tell us we should want.
ive noticed that when girls (or people) are around people who dont eat lunch they stop eating lunch too. i used to eat lunch with this guy who didnt eat lunch and after a while i stopped too. but when im with my friend who do eat lunch i eat it. nothing to do with my body image, just whats going on around meWhy is it that so many teen girls have weird eating habits?
It's not happening to EVERYONE. I don't really know, everyones different. That's all I have to say. I'm 13 and I guess im underweight, I don't eat a lot because I can't handle it. If I eat too much I throw up (no im not bullimic!)
Why its happening ? Because parents didn't do their job Nowadays ; babies of 3 months old are running the show in the house ; so what do you think when they are 10 / 14 ?? Eating and doing exactly what they want . How nice it is ?????Why is it that so many teen girls have weird eating habits?
The media is ruining the world. Teen girls just want to be like the girls on those unrealistic tv shows and dont yet know how to be themselves.
I'm just like you, and I don't really get it either 0.o



Maybe they don't try and show that they are weight-conscious even though they are? That's the only thing I could think of..
I don't eat lunch at school because my lunch is super early. It's at like 10:30 and i'm never hungry. I just wait and eat a snack after school. Or sometimes i get something from the vending machines and sneak it into class. I think it's the media and the idea that to beautiful, you must be a size 0 or 2 when realisticly, some girls bodies really aren't built to be that tiny. Mine is(considering i'm 4'8) but most girls bodies aren't. The media needs to show that being curvy is a good thing and you don't need to be a stick to be beautiful!
