Women are not the only ones who struggle with eating disorders - more than 1 million males are fighting an eating disorder and nearly one-third of teenage boys use unhealthy forms of weight control, including skipping meals, fasting, smoking cigarettes, vomiting and taking laxatives. And now some studies show that more than half of young people with eating disorders believe that bullying contributed to their illness.
