Over 1 million people with an eating disorder have used pro-anorexia / bulimia websites. This documentary looks at the growing trend for self harm amongst young women and the role websites play in this. 18-year-old Charlotte discusses how her eating disorder started first at school and then was fuelled by what she saw on pro-anorexic websites. Becky suffers from bulimia. She also believes her problems began at school and both Becky and Charlotte became obsessed with looking at pictures of very skinny women. Chrissy describes the competitive relationship that pro-anorexia websites proliferated with each girl trying to be thinner than another. Becky reinforced this by saying she was once in a competition with someone online to see who could lose the most weight the most quickly. The girls interviewed also cut themselves on her arms and legs - eating disorders are often accompanied by this kind of self-harming. The parents of a girl named Chelsea talk about her self-harming and eventual suicide.
