Answer:

"Pro-ana", or sites that glorify and encourage anorexia, can be trigerring because of what they say. They provide tips and suggestions on how to become anoroexic, how to avoid food, how to hide weight loss, how to properly exercise, and provide encouragment. This can often be dangerous as it turns people towards anorexia, or encourages anorexic to develop worse into their disorders.
