Silent Killer of Females


Bulimia is a mom's worst nightmare and a girl's sacrifice. Making one's self vomit is like meth after you do it one time you can't stop! It gives girls an unnatural high, which they can’t get enough of. Bulimia is a dark, violent and twisted rollercoaster that doesn’t end. It pulls its victims deeper and deeper, till the damage is done. Faucets running and choking is all that can be heard It destroys a girl’s body, in no time at all. Even the stomach acid eroding their throat isn’t enough to make them stop It no longer matters that your hair is falling out Or that your heart has become weak All that matters is that sense of control received by sticking that toothbrush or hand in. This is a devastating disease, which can get to anyone. However it preys on the girls that strive for perfection more often than not. It is unbelievable how easy it is to disguise and cover up.
