Proposal

I will be focusing on a growing teen issue that affects many females as well as males. Eating disorders have a broad selection ranging from Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating, Anorexia Athletica, Over Exercise, Overeating, Night Eating, Orthorexia and EDNOS. For my project I will be focusing in on anorexia and bulimia, providing equal information on both these eating disorders to show how it affects teens today and the statistics are increasing each day. I plan to volunteer at the Renfrew Center in Philadelphia as an observer of the residents of the center. Not just observing and documenting but also getting to know this people and what their true emotions are about their illness and how their lives have changed for the worst or best. Through this volunteerism I will gain a wider sense of the difficulties people suffering from anorexia and bulimia go through every day of their lives. My goal in demonstrating my topic is to provide facts on these teen issues and how to help someone or yourself if signs surface. I plan using a PowerPoint presentation or Animoto to complete my project. In order to complete my project I will use a camera to capture the moments spent with the residents of the Renfrew Center and a journal to document.
