Don't mess wtih it, you are lucky. What you may want to do, if you are very skinny, is to exercise to bulk up your muscles. I was called "bones" when I was a teen becuase I was so skinny, and could not gain weight either. At 18 I started working in a feed store, hauling bags of feed, and within about 6 months I gained about 25 pounds and looked a lot better- no more protruding ribs or spine, felt better too. I'd say do exercises that bulk your muscles, like lifting. Running will just keep you skinny.

Start sleeping late, but only when you have time to do it.
You can try the sugar high/crash & burn cycle, but that's not really healthy. That's how Renee Zellweger packed on the pounds for the Bridget Jones movies. She ate Krispy Kreme donuts - lots of them. That's the heart-killer way to do it.
Why do you want to gain weight? To get curvy? You can learn to dress to accentuate or create curves. Glamour magazine is good about showing ways to do that.

no you can't slow down your metabolism - just accept that this is the way that you are and the first answerer is correct, it will slow down as you get older.
think of yourself as luck - most people would love to be able to lose weight!!!

Eat carbohydrate late at night and go straight to bed. I don't recommend it though, you will feel sluggish and it may effect your sleep patterns.
Really it is a simple equation. Increase the amout of calories to above the level that your body is burning in your daily routine, and you will gain weight.
Just eat more. Your body, within a week, will accomodate the larger intake of food, and your stomach will stretch.

Please, you are lucky! Those of us with super-low metabolisms would kill for a faster metabolism. Well, I mean if you are severely underweight, that could be a problem. But otherwise, just appreciate the body God gave to you.

Eat healthy, develop your mind. If your eating enough food and a good overall diet than don't worry about it. Thin people have less health problems as they get older as long as you are eating what your body requires. Eat more pasta.
