People become anorexic by excessive dieting. Several emotional factors seem to contribute to anorexia nervosa, a serious and potentially fatal eating disorder. The girl fears sexual development and can delay it by starving herself. But she also fears growing up in general. She may also be expressing hostility against her parents.

They become anorexic because they have a low self esteem and are always thinking they are too fat. They just start throwing everything up that they eat because they are forcing thier bodies to act like they are not hungry and eventually they become deathly skinny to where they almost kill themselves.
