| BATTLIING ANOREXIA |
|
In her ninth-grade school portrait,
Tabitha, then 14, appeared to be a
normal teen-ager. She dropped out of Springfield HighSchool the following year, worked odd jobs to
help support her family, then ran
away to Las Vegas to marry an
abusive boyfriend. She fled the
marriage within a year and returned to Oregon, but her weight had begun to drop noticeably. Her handwritten note on the back of
her 1993 school picture reads: “Tabitha, 9th grade. 103 pounds.” |
