Abstract
A fecha de 2012, 475,1 millones de personas en Europa, tenían acceso a internet según la Organización Mundial de la Salud (2012). Es decir, ante millones de adolescentes, se abrían las puertas de un mundo que puede aportarnos grandes beneficios, pero si sabemos cómo usarlo.
Hay que tener en cuenta que los adolescentes, buscan continuamente modelos de referencia para construir su propia identidad y la aceptación de la misma por sus grupos de referencia, es un proceso natural que forma parte del proceso de socialización. En este proceso de socialización, internet actualmente juega un papel fundamental, al convertirse junto con los medios de comunicación en general, en uno de los más fuertes agentes socializadores. Este hecho unido a que actualmente, una búsqueda de la frase ¿Pro Ana y Mia¿ arroja más de 150 mil resultados tan solo en un buscador y únicamente en español (Sámano Orozco, 2013), nos inquieta a la vez que nos preocupa, ya que quiere decir que internet es una ventana abierta a contenido de todo tipo, al que los/las menores pueden acceder sin problema, con el peligro de toparse con contenido inapropiado; en este caso, relacionado con la apología de estilos de vida nocivos para la salud, el cual pueden asumir como correcto y saludable, poniendo en peligro su desarrollo e incluso pudiendo llegar a desarrollar un Trastorno de la Conducta Alimentaria. Partiendo de esta problemática, creemos que es necesario hacer uso de la educación para evitar que los/las adolescentes asuman este tipo de contenido acríticamente.

That is, in the face of millions of teenagers, the doors of a world that can bring us great benefits opened, but if we know how to use it. It must be taken into account that teenagers are constantly looking for reference models to build their own identity and their acceptance by their reference groups is a natural process that is part of the process of socialization. In this process of socialization, the internet now plays a fundamental role, becoming, along with the media in general, one of the strongest socializing agents. This fact, coupled with the fact that a search for the phrase "Pro Ana y Mia" today has more than 150 thousand results in only one search engine and only in Spanish (Sámano Orozco, 2013), this worries us while we are concerned, since it means that the internet is a window open to content of all kinds, which children can access without problem, with the danger of bumping into inappropriate content; In this case, related to the apology of lifestyles harmful to health, which they can assume as correct and healthy, jeopardizing their development and even being able to develop a Eating Disorder. Based on this problem, we believe that it is necessary to make use of the education to avoid that the adolescents assume this type of content uncritically.
