Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Weight loss may be triggered by a typical adolescent crisis such as the onset of menstruation or a traumatic interpersonal incident; situations of severe family stress, such as parental separation or divorce; or circumstances in which the young person lacks personal control, such as being teased, changing schools, or entering college. "Sexual abuse," "school failure," and "independence from family" are not part of the behavioral characteristics of anorexia nervosa.
