Never Give Up
“Isabelle where are you.” April yelled. April found Isabelle on the bathroom floor sticking her fingers down her throat forcing herself to barf. Please don’t tell mom Isabelle replies. MOM! April yelled. What. Mom replies. Isabelle is forcing herself to barf. That's how I got her therapy class. This book is about the two horrible diseases called bulimia and anorexia.

Young girls often struggle with bulimia and anorexia because people call them fat and they take it to heart. Isabelle is one of these girls that faces the hard time with bulimia. These diseases could lead to severe injuries or even death. I have friends that have gotten called fat, and honestly they don’t take it as a joke. It’s not funny and it can really hurt someones feelings. I have heard of people that have gone bulimic and it doesn’t sound healthy and It’s not something I want to put myself through.

In therapy class Trish their teacher was talking about how they can help themselves with their eating disorder. After that hour of therapy Isabelle thought to herself that she isn’t going to go bulimic. It was good for Isabelle to think about her therapy class and how bulimia ends up to anorexia which leads to death. Personally people on this world shouldn’t worry about their  weight and how they look. People need to know that if they start to go bulimic that it could lead to death. Anorexia kills about 150,000 women a year and anorexia is caused by bulimia.


This book really tells the details of how Bulimia and Anorexia can kill. Isabelle finally figured out that if she kept on being bulimic it would've lead to anorexia. Everyone around the world needs to know about these horrible diseases. All these people need that are going bulimic is just encouragement so that they stop.
