Over the summer and for most of last year my friend had anorexia and she wouldn't eat because she didn't want to be bloated for ballet. Her teachers would make fun of kids who looked bloated and stuff. I know there has always been this fat phobic culter in ballet but no teacher should ever make fun of someone's weight. My friends talking about quitting ballet because of these teachers which I think is sad since she loved ballet. But she's eating again which I am so happy about. Shes starting to be healthy again and I am so so proud of her.
