Summary Introduction

Introduction

Pro-Ana, also known as pro-anorexia, websites are online platforms that promote and encourage unhealthy behavior associated with anorexia nervosa. These websites are harmful as they tend to support the ideas of extreme thinness, which is attained by starving oneself. These beliefs not only distort the perception of people, but can also be fatal.
