yeah sweetie u are under weight, go to the doctor and if they say u fine then there is nothing u worry bout, everyone can't have meat on their bone all the time. u could call a doctors office and tell them your weight, height, and age and see what they say

you are a little on the skinny side but heres a way to tell how much you should weight at 5'0 you should weight 100. add 5 pounds per inch so you should weight about 130-140 lbs. if you have any questions or big concerns, you should ask your doctor.

I think 80 pounds and 5'8 doesn't really work out. I mean i'm on the lower end of bmi..but not by that much! What has your doctor said? Talk to someone and go and do a bmi

Just eat healthy meals and don't stress it. I have a friend who is 25, 5ft 9in tall and barely weights 105, everyone always tells her shes unhealthy but really shes fine the doctor said shes fine but if she really wants to gain weight to eat lots of milkshakes she did that and still hardly gained a pound. She just has really high metabolism, you may too.

I think u should consult a health doctor or the doctors that help u with eating abnormalities this way u can clear ur mind and tell your friends u are not anorexic!

Only you know if you are anorexic.
Do you never eat, do you exercise all the time, do you spend you whole day thinking about how to NOT eat your next meal?
If so then you may be anorexic. If not then you probably just have a high metabolism, and are skinny. Only you know if you are anorexic.

80lbs is awful small for a 5'8" girl. You need to put on weight. You should weigh between 110 and 130 approximately. Ask your doctor.

talk to your health teacher if you can or even talk to your doctor next time you go there. It sounds like you are underweight, some people still eat a lot and can't gain weight. You can even see if you can try drinking something like ensure if you are nervous about your weight.

If you eat three meals a day, and protein and calcium, then you should be fine. You do sound under weight. try eating 5 small meals a day, and start doing a sport if your not already. excercise is very important.
