Mr. Clark has been keeping an eye on Jamal. Jamal skips lunch every day and is always exercising.

| Ms. Johnson, I've been noticing that Jamal never eats lunch and he looks like he's losing weight. Could he have an eating disorder? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Yes, even boys can have an ED. One sign is not eating and exercising a lot. Jamal seems to fit that criteria. | |
 | |  |

| Is there something I can do to help? I know he talks about weight for the wrestling team but this seems to have gone too far. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| An ED is a serious thing. I have a support group here at school for studentswith ED. I will call Jamal down and talk to him about EDs and get him the support he needs. | |

Mr. Clark's observation of Jamal made getting him help easier. It's important to be aware about the students in our school and getting them the help before the situation is grave.

| Really, wow! I never knew boys could have eating disorders too. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Boys and girls both can have them. Thank you for bringing Jamal to my attention. We don't get much funding for the program but I have resources to help these kids. | |
