The adolescents in Peebles' and Wilson's study who entered pro-ana websites tended to do so without their parents' knowledge and, compared with their peers who didn't visit the sites, to spend less time on homework, more time on the Internet and more time in the hospital. But the study did not find major differences in body weight, duration of eating disorders, number of missed periods or bone density between anorexics who visited the sites and those who didn't.

Shows promoting teen pregnancy patronize viewers | The Nevada Sagebrush - 0 views
-
While MTV tries desperately to portray “Teen Mom” and “16 and Pregnant” as simply day-in-the-life type shows, like glorified episodes of “True Life,” it is evident that these shows are every bit as preachy as “The Secret Life of the American Teenager,” an ABC Family show that is just raging with pro-life messages and Christian value undertones.
