"  An eye opening 30 million people will have an eating disorder at some point in their life\u2014so chances are you&amp;#039;ll know someone struggling with one too.  &amp;quot;Everybody Knows Somebody&amp;quot; is the slogan for National Eating Disorders Awareness Week (which is currently happening) to show just how widespread eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia are. What makes this year&amp;#039;s campaign especially cool is that National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) is encouraging everyone to do just one thing to raise awareness\u2014it could be anything from posting information on Facebook, putting up a poster at your school, or passing out fliers. It may seem like such a simple thing, but to someone struggling, it shows that there&amp;#039;s someone supportive out there. &amp;quot;Many of those affected don&amp;#039;t have the information needed to seek proper help\u2014and that&amp;#039;s why handing out information is so effective.&amp;quot; said Susie Roman, the Program Director for NEDA. Since eating disorders are so common, and helping to raise awareness can be so easy, don&amp;#039;t let a chance to help a friend or classmate slip by! Don&amp;#039;t know where to start? Check out NEDA&amp;#039;s site, which has a helpline to call, or a &amp;quot;click to chat&amp;quot; Instant Messaging feature for people who don&amp;#039;t feel comfortable talking out loud about their concerns. Get involved, and you may even be able to help out the &amp;quot;somebody&amp;quot; you know. What are you going to do this week to help someone battle an eating disorder?
