Flawless Image

Once upon a time there was a talented, smart, beautiful, confident girl named Chloe. She had a great family, a loving boyfriend, supportive friends and basically the perfect life. One day Chloe was having one of those "I hate how I look" days that every teenager experiences and she began to see herself as fat, although she was far from.  After critiquing her appearance in the mirror, she decided to perform her daily routine of checking her social media accounts. On one of the sites, she saw a picture of model who had the perfect body type and seemingly the perfect life to go with it. Chloe decided right then and there that she needed to look like that model, and she was willing to do anything to achieve that look. To help her lose weight, she started by skipping breakfast,which eventually led to skipping all meals and continued down a slippery slope to the point where she was counting the calories of the gum she chewed. Chloe began to become depressed, isolating herself from human interaction.  She was in a dark place that no one could help her get out of. She has lost an unhealthy amount of weight in 4 weeks and looked like she was exhausted all the time. So many people tried to help her, but she didn't see the problem and didn't want help. If she doesn't recognize her problem and get help soon, there will be a tragic ending to this story.
