getting familiar with how these teens feel

The medical statistics point out that often times, those with Ed have feelings of depression and anxiety.
what my teen and her friends say is that:
they are self-conscious
they feel shameful and guilty
they feel worthless and unlovable
they don't see their body like we see it
they feel like they want to die
they feel like they need to be perfect.

What parents say
they were a bright young student that maintained above-average grades
they were always involved in extra-curricular activities
they had everything going for them
things started to change around puberty
