ANOTHER QUESTIONS FOR ALL BALLET DANCERS?

I used to dance with a girl who was the same way, kind of. She wasn't really the type of person who would ever have an eating disorder, but when she turned about twelve years old she started getting really really thin. She started freaking out that she wasn't as skinny as some of the other students in or cles, and developed an eating disorder that lasted about a year and a half. Of what I have heard, she became bulimic, and the only thing she ate that she didn't throw up was gfruit. She actually got checked into a hospital for a few days for recovery because she went so thin. I've never known anyone else who had gotten an eating disorder from dancing, but I know tons of kids try to go on diets. It's just one of those things that girls feel like they have to do in order to succeed in the dancer's world. I personally don't get it, but I believe it's a big problem these days.
