we all have different bodies and we all develop differently. I have a friend who went thru puberty at the age of 16..dont stress yourself out.
wouldnt it be boring if we all looked the same, were the same colour, acted the same, dressed the same? yuk! how boring!

As long as you feel healthy...eat enough and exercise...
then you are fine...
I was super skinny when I was your age too. How tall are you? If you are short then that doesn't help you look or feel any older.
But don't worry about it...puberty will happen and when it does you will feel very lucky...you will be able to eat anything you want and never feel fat (and you can wear clothes from the girls section in stores for a lot longer than anyone else...which can be cheaper and still really cute. I'm 23 and I still buy some of my tanks tops in the little girls dept.)
There isn't that much of a difference in 11 and 13...so don't worry about it...when you are 23 people will think you are 18, just show them your ID and go on with your life...there are way more important things to worry about in life.
Just Hang in there & Good Luck

You are perfectly normal!!!!!!
Don't let people tell you that you need to eat like crazy. I was in your shoes many years ago. Incredibly skinny. I started eating a bunch of fattening foods trying to gain wait and then I suddenly went thru puberty and because of the fatty foods, I ended up getting stretch marks. I made myself gain too much too fast and had to deal with stretch marks for the rest of my life. That is until I got pregnant and I stopped worrying about those stretch marks any more. I have worse ones. lol.
Just enjoy the fact that you are only 13 years old. And keep thinking that if your this skinny then when you do hit puberty and get some hips, butt and boobs, you will be one of the fewer women in this country who are skinny. Just eat healthy. I know it's hard to wait. But it could happen any day. Don't ruin the rest of your life by eating wrong and ruining your metabolism just to gain a little weight. If your eating healthy, then you shouldn't have anything to worry about.
Oh and one good thing about looking young. When you get older, you will still look younger than all your friends. And then you can say hahahaha to them all.

You'll be fine. So you're a late bloomer. The flowers at the end of the season always bloom the prettiest. Don't try to rush yourself by eating a lot of food. That'll just make you look like a fat 11 year old, and then when you do mature, you'll mature with a weight problem... and nobody wants that!
You'll spend the next ten years or so trying to look older, and then the rest of your life will be spent trying to look younger. Since you look younger right now, just go with the flow, and when you're older, you'll still look a little bit younger than you are without spending big bucks on wrinkle cream and crap like that. A lot of guys go for the younger looking girls anyway.

Hey there little lady. The key word there is 13. It is really unfair what society and MTV has done to you. You have so much time to "turn" into a women. Let it happen, and focus on what "you" can change. Concentrate on becoming the best person you can be, because that is what is beautiful in a girl. Brains over boobs any day sweetheart. You are gonna be great.

You are lucky! But you don't want to be 60 forever, so make sure you are eating a well balanced diet. Eat 2 servings of dairy and 2 of protein and lots of fruits and veggies. You will be fine :-)

You aren't lucky - but maybe you should see a nutritionist - they will give you a diet which WILL taste good and be healthy for you - so you won't be eating all this junk food which will mess your body up and your skin. Good luck!
