Answer 1

You're fine. Yea, you're skinny but it's just because you're young and athletic.. don't worry about it.

Answer 2

as long as they don't use you as the skeleton in anatomy class because the original is missing, you are fine. the only person you need to listen to is the doctor. they have charts that tell you if you are above, at, or below what you should be as far as height and weight for you age. and your weight works with your height. so if you are not that tall, and active like you say you are, you are not going to be heavy. michelle kwan is around 5'3, 5'4 and weights not more than 100 lbs but nobody is calling her skinny because she is a damn good skater. don't worry too much about it. you are not fully grown yet. you still have some time left with puberty and i am sure you will pick up a few extra pounds with the few extra inches you will get.

Answer 3

Are your bones showing? You probably should weigh another 10 lbs at least. Muscle weighs more than fat, so if you are athletic, you are way under weight. Do you play with your food and eat one little piece at a time? Do you pretend to eat and really don't? Do you take pride in your self control over not eating? You may have an eating disorder.

Alert... men/boys like meat on a woman.

Answer 4

I'd say you can gain a few pounds but that all depends on your height. Your doctor should be able to tell you what your ideal weight should be though. Some people are just skinny and have trouble gaining weight. As long as you have healthy eating habits and you don't starve yourself you are fine.

Answer 5

Try a BMI calculator! I've linked one here. Keep in mind though that these are not always accurate and don't take into account age and body type. The best thing to do is to ask your doctor next time you're in for a vaccination or check up; they'll be able to tell you for sure.

Answer 6

Depends on your height... but you should be 100 pounds at 16 years old and a size 2. At least that's what I was when I was 16... but I am only 5'1.

Answer 7

you are an anorexic girl you need to weigh like 128 for the age of 16

Answer 8

Its not THAT bad I'm 14 and 5'3 and weigh 95 its not TOO skinny

Answer 9

well, i'm almost 16, 5' 3" - 5' 4" and i weigh 78 lbs. i don't think you have a problem with being underweight. as long as you are healthy i think you're fine. i'm lucky if a 00 will fit me.

Answer 10

Well Im 13 and 5'0. I weigh 90 pounds too. I think its fine if ur doc says its fine.

Answer 11

Ask your doctor, many people are skinny and don't weigh much and are fine. As long as you aren't starving yourself, you are fine. But, like I said, ask your doctor just to make sure.
