You probably just have a high metabolism, just make sure you're eating healthy, and eating enough for your activity level.
This is the time in your life when you build bones and store calcium... and no one wants to be hunch backed and have broken hips when theyre old. Not to mention that poor nutrition in your teenage years can result in ulcers and kidney damage.

Anorexia isn't about your weight, it's about your attitude to food. If you try to avoid eating, or eating certain foods; if you feel very guilty about eating and skip meals to make up for it. If you constantly weigh yourself and look at yourself in the mirror and think you look fat and need to lose weight, then there is a good chance you are anorexic, and you should try to do something about recognizing that, and perhaps getting some sort of treatment. If you enjoy your food, eat healthily and regularly, get enough exercise, but don't eat excessive portions, then good for you - you have a good attitude towards food and should continue. Those who are calling you names should show more respect.

Just because you are skinny doesn't mean that you are anorexic. If you were anorexic you would know it. People tell me that i am anorexic too (5'6" 90 lbs). An anorexic girl thinks that she is fat and is trying to get more skinny. She refuses to eat. It doesn't seem that you think you are fat or that you refuse to eat. So you are not anorexic.

probebly not but you should put on a few pounds just to look a little more healthy cause when i was 5'0 i weighed in at about 115 and i looked pretty good. everyone is different and as long as your not throwing up your food on purpose and its just they way you are then you are great. but try eating pastas for a while and put some meat on those bones.
have fun

well it depends on what you eat. try eating more definitly in front of people so that you can show them that there is no way you can be anorexic. some people just have a fast metabolism which is when you stomach bvreaks down more foods and it doesnt store the fat. try not to worry about what people say about you just be yourself and eat like normal.

if you eat normally and don't have any weight issues I dont think you are. Im not sure what the normal weight is for someone your age and height but it does seem a little low. What do you parents think about this? Do you see your Dr regularly? Are they thinking there is a problem?

Depends on WHAT you eat and if you let that food stay in your body for a long time. Maybe you should gain at least 5 pounds.
