Young women who grow up surrounded by family problems and any form of abuse are at high risk of getting eating disorders like anorexia or bulimia. Unless they get help and support in dealing with their emotional reactions to their problems. According to research studies, family conflict together with other problems, as well as emotional andor physical abuse, with neglect during childhood, can set the stage for potential eating disorders. For many young girls and ladies, their response to family problems during childhood years, not the family problems themselves, seems to have a strong connection to the development of eating disorders. If a girl has been experiencing family problems that lead to physical andor emotional abuse and neglect, she would grow up without any emotional support coming from them, a factor that is so important for a young woman’s well-being.

In order to escape her negative emotions, a girl may focus intensely on her physical appearance. Thus, by eating in small proportions or by hardly eating at all, a girl can create a distraction for herself — which then serves as a means of avoiding negative emotions. Somehow, she feels the need to narrow down her focus to something that’s concrete. Another factor that leads to eating disorders like bulimia would be depression. Some girls can experience depression in school, where bullying is at its peak, and when everybody should look better than others. At this point, girls can see and feel depressed whenever they see popular girls with slim waists, and from there they could think of losing weight by means of purging, vomiting, and the like. Other girls get depressed when it comes to relationships, specifically romantic relationships. Of course, girls have the tendency to get jealous whenever her boyfriend looks at another attractive girl. This is normal, but for girls who have low self-esteem, this is pure punishment. They will eventually have thoughts that they are not as good-looking as the other girl, maybe because of her weight. This can possibly get the girl into hazardous eating habits, which can lead to having anorexia or bulimia.

If this is the case, any girl who suffers from any family problems or is dealing with depression should get professional help immediately. A lot of counseling sessions are available for those girls dealing with eating disorders, and this could benefit them by giving them advise on how to handle their emotions and feelings, together with support and help in fighting their eating disorder. Such sessions can open their minds and think of what is healthy and right, and can boost their confidence as well as their self esteem in order to build their true personality. Of course, girls should also be open to healthy diet options so that they can help themselves in getting back to shape in a healthier way. Try to see what options might be available diet-wise, since there are a lot of weight loss programs that cater to different people, depending on what they usually eat everyday. Girls should exercise regularly, like taking brisk walks in the morning or even going to the gym. This can help in maintaining a healthy body and mind, as well as helping oneself from the dangers of eating disorders.

Si te mudas a otro pas o ciudad, sea cual fuera la razn, trabajo, situacin econmica, familia, novio, novia, cambio de aire; todas las razones llegan a ser insuficientes pero necesarias a la hora de adaptarse.

Adaptarse a una nueva cultura, idioma, ambiente, clima, reglas sociales, y estilo de vida es muy duro y al mismo tiempo interesante. En mi caso personal, cuando me mude de pas fue porque mi familia lo decidi hacer, no segu mis necesidades ya que era demasiado chica para seguir mi propio camino y demasiado grande para depender de sus decisiones. Sin embargo segu las decisiones de mi familia.

Al principio de mi llegada, decid tomarme todo fcilmente como si fuera irreal, ya que era muy duro enfrentar la realidad de que me aleje de mi vida, que deje todo lo que tenia atrs.

Decid entonces que todo seria una gran vacacin. Junto con el clima era caluroso, viva cerca de la playa lo cual en mi pas no lo tena entonces mi vida seria un cuento total. A lo largo de los meses, no hacia mas nada que salir, comprar, conocer gente y divertirme sin ningn propsito de lo que iba a pasar en mi futuro.

Luego de unos meses conoc a un chico que crea que cumpla con todas mis expectativas de hombre ideal. Popular, atractivo, simptico, deportista y dems. Comenzamos a salir y crea que era el sueo de mi vida hecho realidad, Qu poda ser mas perfecto que eso?

La realidad me cayo de golpe cuando me di cuenta que nada de lo que crea tan perfecto era as, sino una idealizacin de eso. Mi plata se me iba disminuyendo poco a poco, el novio perfecto no eran perfecto ni mucho menos sino que solo quera demostrarlo ser, y traa consigo ms complicaciones y dilemas que me llevaran a sufrir en la relacin. Mis alrededores no me satisfacan como yo pensaba que iban a hacerlo, pero decid que deba intentarlo igual ya que todo pareca perfecto y no lo quera arruinar.

Luego vino el invierno y comenc lo que haba planeado antes de mi llegada estudiar moda y convertirme en una sper diseadora. Sin embargo me encontr con un lugar lleno de gente que crea ser demasiado rara y competitiva, sin nada de ganas de socializar ni conocer a alguien nuevo. La presin de ser aceptado a la escuela de arte y ganar la simpata de los profesores era mayor que otra cosa.

Me encontr en situaciones difciles como en una clase de moldes, tratando de hacer una pollera que me llevara hacer un da entero solo el molde. Ah me di cuenta que lo que necesitaba era estudiar en un idioma que me era cmodo, con gente parecida a mi con ganas de disfrutar la poca universitaria y aprender pero con un propsito mas profundo que llenara mi alma.

Luego de un tiempo pens y pens que todo lo que crea necesario para mi felicidad en realidad no me satisfaca y no entenda mis sentimientos y descontento. Mi familia tampoco lo entenda. La verdad es que hay gente que sabe encontrar lo que busca ms fcil que otra. Pueden seguir su propio instinto sin importar lo que dirn los dems, si aceptan o no. Hay otra, que les es ms difcil y necesitan demostrar a los dems que logran lo que se proponen, sin saber si realmente lo desean.

En fin, mudarse de pas es algo muy complicado que tambin tiene cosas positivas. Ayuda a abrir la cabeza y darse cuenta que uno no esta solo, que hay mucha gente diferente aparte de lo que uno crea nico, que las culturas son diferentes y parecidas en muchos aspectos, que a pesar de que uno intente adaptarse a algo nuevo, en el fondo es importante mantener nuestra identidad. Debes seguir tus sentimientos siempre, porque tu solo sabes lo que es bueno para ti.

He was a man obsessed with privacy and devoted much of his lifetime protecting this mystique. It was said that not even some of his closest friends, family, and associates were not able to get a full picture of this Rasta Man. His unfathomable easy going attitude towards life added to his allure. His lyrics were able to transcend languages, cultures, and nationalities. Rising like the phoenix from the ashes he was able to rise out to his humble Trench Town beginnings to become the Reggae Superstar.

Born of a middle-aged white father and a teenage black mother, Robert Nesta Marley or popularly known as Bob Marley grew up poor in Trenchtown, Jamaica and was the biological product of a mixed race relationship. Cedella, his teenage mother, became involved with Norval Marley. Bob Marley was the product of that relationship. Norval was of an English upper class background. This fact placed a strain on the relationship between the two from the very beginning.

Marley began singing professionally at 16 with two friends, Bunny Livingston a.k.a. Bunny Wailer and Peter McIntosh a.k.a. Tosh. He made his first record, Judge Not, in 1962 with the band called Teenagers. A few years later, as the Wailers, Marley and associates had begun mixing political content with unusual covers such as And I Love Her and What’s New Pussycat? — slowing the quick, prevalent ska beat down and calling it rude boy music.

It wasn’t until 1973 that Marley made his first professional recording. It was the album, Catch A Fire which introduced the reggae idiom to an international audience. With the Wailers, one of the greatest back-up bands of all time behind him, the freshness gave rock fans something new to dance to and a powerfully compelling brand of lyrical consciousness to hear. In the late ’70s, Marley continued to enjoy worldwide hits with songs like Exodus 1977, Waiting In Vain 1977, Jamming 1977, and Is This Love 1978, and albums Rastaman Vibration and Exodus.

On a European tour in 1977, Marley & the Wailers played his other passion, a soccer game against a team of French journalists. In the process, Marley injured his foot. Treatment revealed cancerous cells, but he refused surgery. The wound would not completely heal, and his toenail later fell off during the soccer game. It was then that the correct diagnosis was made. Marley actually had a form of skin cancer, malignant melanoma, which grew under his toenail.

Melanoma is the most dangerous type of skin cancer. It involves the cells that produce the skin pigment melanin which is responsible for skin and hair color. Malignant melanoma is a cancer which usually starts in the skin, either in a mole or in normal-looking skin. Although the number of people who develop melanoma is rising, it is still an uncommon type of cancer.

Melanoma develops from cells in the skin known as melanocytes. Melanocytes give the skin its color. In melanoma, the melanocytes start to grow and divide more quickly than usual and start to spread into the surrounding surface layers of skin. This happens slowly over some months. If the melanoma is found at this early stage, it can be removed with surgery. Most people with melanoma less than one millimeter in depth are cured. In the United States, most melanomas are found at this early stage.

If the melanoma is not removed, the cells can begin to grow down into the deeper layers of the skin. These layers contain tiny blood vessels and lymph channels. If the melanoma cells go into the blood vessels or lymph channels, they can travel to other parts of the body in the blood stream or lymph system, which what actually happened to Marley. The cancer had spread to his brain, lungs, and liver. He did have surgery to try to excise the cancer cells. The cancer was kept a secret from the wider public.

He was advised to get his toe amputated, but he refused because of the Rastafarian belief that doctors are samfai, men who cheat the gullible by pretending to have the power of witchcraft. He was also concerned about the impact the operation would have on his dancing. Amputation would greatly affect his career at a time when success was close at hand. Still, Marley based this refusal on his Rastafarian beliefs, saying, Rasta no abide amputation. I and I don’t allow a mon ta be dismantled.

In 1980, again on tour, Marley collapsed while jogging in New York’s Central Park, and he died eight months later. The music world had lost one of its true and potent activists, a man who had grown up from the ghettos of Trenchtown to become a musical ambassador the world over.

Powered by his Rastafarian faith and lifestyle, his love for pop music, and his transparently honest political convictions, Bob Marley was certainly the one and only universal ambassador of Jamaica’s renowned reggae music. His songs of resolution, rebellion, and justice moved millions of audiences all over the world then and even until now. As a top-selling superstar and a semi-religious icon, Marley’s work in promoting peace, justice, and brotherhood nearly outweighed the brilliance of his reggae music. Sadly, the cancer that struck him ended his career and led him to another exodus to the next world.
