How does someone gain or maintain power?

Have you noticed how some people seem to have power over other people? Well I have. I've been trying to think if why people let others have power over them. The main reason I can think of is because they are afraid of them. I mean, I know if I'm afraid of someone, i let them walk all over me because I don't want any problems. If you are really that afraid of someone, it is really easy for them to have control over you. They maintain power by instilling fear into you and so you don't have the mind set to tell them off. People that have power shouldn't abuse it. The people trust them enough to have power and when they abuse it, it;s so wrong. I don't understand how people can be so heartless.

Eating Disorders.

“Oh my gosh! I can’t believe she has been starving herself! Why would she do this?! I don’t understand!” While some argue the main reason for girls having eating disorders is to lose weight, the real reason is because they are depressed.

Some people argue the reason for girls having eating disorders is to lose weight. Another group think the reason is because they feel like they have lost control. Other groups sat that the reason is for psychological problems, like OCD, PTDS, and many others.

So many girls are suffering from eating disorders because they are depressed. Many addictions (cutting, drugs, alcohol, etc.) turn into eating disorders. When you cut or use drugs and alcohol as a copping strategy; and you quit that, many people use eating disorders as a replacement to the cutting, drugs, and alcohol.

In conclusion, the main reason for girls having eating disorders is because of depression, not because they are trying to lose weight.
