Deadly online craze entrapping Aussie women – Gympie Times
Young women are being lured into a potentially deadly trap where “influencers” tell them how to starve themselves as they’re fat shamed and bullied. WARNING: Distressing content
Exclusive: Teenage girls and young women are being lured into potentially deadly online “communities” where they are fat shamed and bullied about their weight.
They are members of ‘proana’ groups – a disturbing mash-up of anorexia and bulimia – that are on every social media platform, with many having their own dedicated websites.
Some of the groups are disguised as “healthy eating” networks where young women encourage each other to lose weight by using ‘thinspo’ and stick thin images.
