Przyjaciółki „Any”. Internetowa społeczność promująca anoreksję

Abstract

This article describes the phenomenon of pro-anorexia, which exists in the virtual world but also leads to serious consequences in real life. The internet pro-ana community encourages its members to perceive anorexia as a lifestyle choice and to take up actions endangering their health and life. Educating and informing about this issue might be useful for the broad range of specia-lists in terms of prevention and early diagnosis of this illness.
