I have tried the anorexia analogy: "When we (parental types) were young and our friends became anorexic, we didn't tell them: hey that's great, so glad you're not eating!"
No, we recognized this as body dysmorphia and didn't encourage them to harm themselves. This sometimes counters the "we must support our young people" line I get.
