i just have one question, people are concerned about being thin but what about people who are thin since they where young and want to put on weight. Why does no one address this issue?

I personally feel that any disorder in Asian community is not discussed openly as our older generation simiply do not want to talk about these problems or they do not how to open up to discuss issues. I am parent of two adult children and I have always talked and discussed any subject openly. Discussions and more awareness should be made to the asian community via right channels. or if certain problems do arise within families, instead of sitting with the child and listening to their child's problems, parents get angry and brush matters in under carpet and topics closed, end off. Therefore our children are too scared to face their parents.

The causative agent of this disorder is mainly from the environment one sees him/herself in and how influencial that environment has been on him/her.
