Having seen my best childhood friend, whom I've known since I was five, degenerate into a 75lb anorexic mess and get shipped to Utah for rehabilitation twice... just... wow. And being a student of human anatomy, physiology and overall health, I CANNOT understand why people starve themselves.
It's such a vicious cycle. They feel they have no friends so they starve themselves to be thin and cool. And it works, for awhile, until their 'cool friends' realize what they're doing to themselves, ditch the anorexic and then said anorexic is back to where they think they started, with no friends, while they alienate those who cared about them the entire time.
