"Anorexia is caused by an unattainable teen image."
Opposition: A lot of different things are causes of anorexia like the media, athletics, and biological reasons.
My side argument: Going on extreme diets give the person's a false feeling of thinness and accomplishment.
Reasons: Anorexia affects your brain an nerves, hair, heart, blood, muscle and joints, kidneys, body fluids, intestines, hormones, and your skin. Anorexia affects every part of your body and can cause serious heath risks if not stopped.
2ND Argument: Eating disorders and self esteem issues can be from genetics and the environment surrounding them.
Reason: Research suggests that a genetic predisposition to anorexia may run in the family. If a girl had a sibling with anorexia with self esteem or an eating disorder, she is 10-20 times more likely to develop anorexia herself. People with anorexia or self esteem problems tend to have higher levels of cortisol (the brain chemical most related to stress) and decreased levels of serotonin and norepinephrine (which are associated with feelings of well being.)
