ideally your about 12lbs underweight that's certainly not anorexic as long as you enjoy healthy eating i don't see what the problem is i would say your fine as you are and as you grow more so will your body

Would you say you are trying not to eat? If so ask yourself why?
many girls who are anorexic have the need for a sense of control over something. If you feel might be you then go further and ask yourself why you are feeling the need to control something in your life. If you recognize the problem or problems that are causing you to feel this way then you are anorexic but more than that you need to talk to someone like a counselor or just someone who is a positive person.
If you're doing fine and not loosing weight then I don't see where you are anorexic. You may want to read some books about it though, you are definitely way thinner than you should be for your height.

I think you are a healthy weight and show your family that you eat regularly and do not vomit it back up. Everyone is so overweight that normal people get punished and are called skinny. Just ask your doctor to give you a note saying that your height weight ratio is healthy. Also tell them that if you gained weight it could be harmful to your health. People have just forgotten what average is. Those damn fatsos.

when they say this.. i would reply do you know what anorexia is, provide a definition, state its not a joking matter at all and that you are not it. For you age and height you are a healthy weight.. unless you stopped eatting entirely or anything then you not. i would just talk to them about it!!!

Maybe they want a chunky sister, daughter or whatever, cause that isn't too skinny. Ask your doctor!

because your family is probably more "normal" in weight and you are a skinny little thing. you are not the "norm in this family...
and YES. you are WAY too skinny!!!!!
