Eat more and just keep eating and exercising and don't worry what other people say your beautiful in your own way and don't need to worry they just try to put you down because they are the ones who are insecure about something and they don't want it revealed and get embarrassed.

I have the same "problem," although as one person already said, we're actually "blessed with a great metabolism." Early 20's, 5'5", 100LB. My mother was the same way before me. So long as you're physically fit, eating healthy, and not experiencing sensations that may indicate an unusual illness, you should be just fine. Just watch out after you turn about 35. ;) That's when your metabolism starts failing and you have to really start watching what you eat like all the "normal" people. j/k
But yeah. Ignore the comments about anorexia or not eating enough or whatever teasing you may need to endure. Once people realize that it doesn't make a single dent in your self-confidence, it takes the fun out of doing it. And remember that part of why you're being pestered may be because of envy on the part of other girls. It's just the way it is, and once you're into your mid- to late-teens (16-19), people should start being more mature and knowledgeable about it and realize that it's a genetic disposition rather than a result of anorexia or bulimia or whatnot. If they ask, politely point out how they are incorrect and tell them why. Realize, however, that some people might be rightly concerned and, if you respect these people, it's up to you to show that they are mistaken.
It's about self-confidence, realizing there's nothing wrong with your natural weight and metabolism, and not letting other people put unjustified cracks in that self-confidence just because they don't fully understand the facts behind that weight and metabolism.
Just some advice from a girl who's been and still is there.

well a number of things affect how heavy u are.....5'3 is not tall (but then again ur only 13) and if u have a small frame which i suspect (since u weigh 98 lb) it is probably not in ur nature to be much heavier.
if u are eating right and are relatively healthy i would not be concerned about the weight.
my only advice is to enjoy it now (eating all the time and not putting on weight) because more than likely in a few short years that will change...
so thank goodness for your fast metabolism

Ignore the anorexic comments. Some people are blessed with a great metabolism. I have two coworkers that eat all day long and are stick thin.
Just be sure to eat balanced meals regularly and eventually you'll even out.

Are you extremely active? Do you prefer to take the stairs to the tenth floor rather than the elevator. Ignore the anorexic comments. If you have concerns talk to your doctor on your next appointment.
