That's fine. I'm 26 years old. I'm 5'5' and I'm only 100 lbs. I've been the same since the age of 17. People say I'm too skinny and say I should gain wieight, but I'm healthy. THEY ARE JEALOUS. I have a normal appetite. I don't like soda, fries or junk food and I love walking and biking and other sports. 99% of the time, if someone tells you crap like that, THEY ARE JEALOUS. When my mom comments, I know it's out of concern. If you have an eating dissorder, tell someone you are comforable talking to and get help. But if you are healthy, you should not care about what other people say. If they call you skin and bones, don't be offended. Just be glad you're not fat. Don't be offensive or rude. Fat people have a lot harder of a time than we do... but it's true we all get crap for something... being skinny, being fat, being black, being american, being different than the person talking ****. Don't be offended or offensive. You'll be fine.

You're fine, just slightly underweight...but I really wouldn't lose any more weight, being too thin can be just as dangerous and detrimental to your health as being too overweight. Try to gain maybe five pounds if you're concerned, but if you're happy with who you are then don't worry. But I really wouldn't lose any more weight.

I don't think it would hurt you to gain a little weight. When people are too thin they look sick. Your parents love you and are concerned about you.

Shut up.. you don't need to lose any at all. Your parents know what they are talking about. Listen to them.
..and If your trying to lose weight for guys.. forget it. Most don't like fat girls, but they don't like skeletons either!

if my memory serves me correctly , according to the BMI scale (body mass index). you should be 100 lbs at 5 foot and an additional 5 lbs for every additional inch. but i am sure you look perfectly fine. i used to have a super fast metabolism at that age, so treasure it, b/c it will change!!
