Smile Speech about Male Anorexia - November 11th 2009, 10:38 PM

So, this term I'm taking a public speaking class. I decided that for my next speech I'm going to talk to my class about the way the media affects male body image and let them know that male anorexia is a very real, very serious thing. It's something that, surprisingly, a lot of people aren't a ware of. In a pre-speech poll that was given to the class, only 5 said they were aware that anorexia affects men as well as women.
I went through anorexia so it's something very close to me. I just want other people to be aware that it happens to men too. I'm really excited to get this all out there for people to know and talk about . I guess I just wanted to let all you guys know too and see what you think. Wish me luck!
