so I we had to do a presentation on someone who helps you in life. most people did Jess Ennis or Nelson Mandela (and I have nothing against that because they're great) but I did Evanna Lynch. when I said that she was an actress I practically saw everyone in the room roll their eyes, which didn't help because I was nervous about going up and talking infront of everyone anyway - but then I said that she helped me get through life because she beat anorexia and the whole room almost stopped breathing. I explained that she managed to beat anorexia and that was amazing, but then to carry on and fulfill her dreams was inspirational. when I had finished my teacher started clapping and she said that it took a lot to stand up and talk about something personal. then she said that her sister had anorexia. and then she said that she knew how much anorexia would take it's toll on the whole family and everyone in the anorexics' life, but that they didn't notice because too often they were being bullied or they were just too focused on everything that happened and everything they ate. I hadn't told her that I was anorexic - but it meant a lot. for someone to not judge me on that was amazing. there needs to be more people like my head of year c:
