I Started Looking For A Warning Sign
What are some warning signs for anorexia?

During the past year or so many of my friends have worried about me, uh, eating habits. I do not eat at school and I'm hungry as ever, and most of my friends can pick up easily. They say that too much obsessed with weight, how fat I am, how bad I look, so I'm very bony, too. (You can see some ribs) My friends say that my total lack of confidence self and self-esteem is a bad sign and some have already asked if I'm anorexic. I used to just brush it off and miss, but its starting to get to me. I want to know what are some signs of anorexia and how anyone can know whether they are starting to devolp it.
