There is a line between too much protection, and too little protection, schools are barely crossing the too little protection when it comes to health. Teachers, nurses, and principals mainly phocus on bulling, when really they should pay attention to food disorders like belimia. Here is why I care
My friend was belimic in 6th grade..... she would go days without eating, and if she did she would eat one small thing like a granola bar. On occasions when we got her to eat something from our lunch, she would count the calories, and count the fat.. it if had "too much" of eigther she would refuse, she lied to her parents about it, and I constantly Emailed the Guidance Counseler about it, she never did anything about it. My friend... she would get dizzy and tired, I tried telling her that her eating disorder was doing it, she refused. I'm in 7th grade now, she developed belimia over the summer and is oviousely dying, the school never noticed or cared enough, and I'm still trying to get her to stop.
