some people can't recover, and don't believe in recovery - therefore resulting in them not recovering. Some people hide these things until they're in too deep, so far that recovery is a long way away.

Well, that's why you have to force them to recover. I have known people that have recovered from eating disorders and they are GRATEFUL for the forced recovery their parents, friends, teacher etc pressed upon them. They may not want help now, but they will be glad once they get it.

- Geocities, tripod, angelfire, homestead, and myweb.ecomplanet consistently remove pro-ana/mia sites.
And what I meant by not banning things that make it difficult to recover is that the people on these sites are murdering each other. That's what it is. I don't think websites promoting bodily harm should be allowed. In a way, though, they could never be banned, because of first amendment rights. Just goes to show you how many holes our founding fathers left in our, "Testament of Freedom".
And you're never really 'recovered' from anorexia/bulimia. You'll always have it...
And as much as I disagree with the sites, it's the Freedom Of Speech, and you have a right to make them.
I don't think they're holes, I think they're proper. It's not really freedom of speech if you're banning people from saying things, is it?
