You sound like you are just a small girl, with a fast metabolism. Sweetie, don't worry about it! As long as you eat three meals a day, (you aren't starving yourself) then this is just who you are and you are beautiful! As you age, you might find that you will start to fill out. It's going to be great when you are 40 and still thin and all the other women your age will be fighting their weight battles! You're just fine!

You're what might be considered underweight, but as long as you eat and you're healthy, don't worry about it. You're only 13, you've got plenty of time to grow into your body. One of my best friends is 18 years old, 5'0", and 80 pounds. She's healthy and beautiful, doesn't look sickly or gross or anything, just has a tiny bone structure and always has. You should start filling out soon and even if you don't, don't sweat it, big things come in little packages and all that matters is you're healthy.

Being able to eat anything and not gain weight, you should be thankful! Besides you're only 13, you're supposed to be skinny. :P 86 lbs at your height sounds just about right anyway. like the first guy said, worry about other things, god knows there's plenty to worry about at 13, lots of end of the world things happen at this age. ;)

You may be a little underweight but that is a good thing as long as you are healthy. You probably have a high metabolism right now. You will begin to gain weight as you mature a little older. The big key is to make sure you are healthy and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

on average if you are 5 feet you should be approx 100 pounds. you should be about 5 pounds for every additional inch.
you should be around 110, doctors suggest about 5% more to remain healthy (about 115) if you were to be 20-29% you are considered overweight (132-142), when you reach 30% (143-or more) more than what is suggested you are considered obese

You sound fine to me. Enjoy it while you can ,because someday you just might wish you were to thin rather than to fat! I weighed 98 pounds when I was 18 and I'm only 5'3 and now I pray that I would lose some of my weight!

You're fine. Be happy. Once you're older I'm sure you'll be deadly thankful for your body.

Maybe the herpes is affecting your metabolism.
