Anorexia and bulimia are mental health problems where people either deliberately starve themselves because they think they look fat, or they eat, but make themselves throw up afterwards. If you eat normally, and don't think that you're fat, you don't have anorexia.
Google "Anorexic" or "bulimic" images to see people that are truly sick with this problem. Hopefully you will see there is a big difference between you and them.

Anorexia is an eating disorder, where the patient is obsessed to losing weight, and therefore refuses to eat. It's not like a condition or a disease that you could have like a cancer, it's a voluntary emotional and psychological disorder. If you are not doing that, and eat normally, then you are not an anorexic. You are just thin.
I know what you are going through though, I too, except for my infant and toddler years where i was actually chunky, I have been thin, and was teased mercilessly on it at times, that hurt me. I couldn't help it, I was eating, and I eat tons, I just have a high metabolism that burns it all right off.
It's just our bodies, all are different. Some are thin, some are not. Just try to recognize that, recognize that is your body, it may not always be that way, you are young with a lot of growing left to do. Just try your best to ignore the negative comments, and think positively about yourself... which is a lot more than your body, by the way - it's who you are inside, the person you are. Just be proud of who you are, and don't let anybody ever make you feel otherwise.

After adults are done maturing, 5 years is not much different (Ex 25 dating a 30 year old.) But while your still in puberty (Ex 13 dating a 18 year old) there are a lot of differences physically and emotionally. You two are not on the same level-it's an unfair playing field. But to answer your original question, it is not odd to have a crush on someone that is a grade or two difference.

I was about 75 pounds before my growth spurt in 7th grade, you are only anorexic if you refuse to eat or throw up afterwards. Don't sweat it, people are just joking with you.

Depends how tall you are. If you're a lot shorter than the rest of the guys, then you are bound to weigh less. How tall or thin is your father? That should be a good clue as to what size you will get to.
Good luck!

If you are eating normally and have the energy to do all the everyday activities that a boy of your age does,then I would say,no,you are not also,it is rare for a boy to be anorexic.

Little man, you are a beast. I recommend asking your parents if they can get you into some form of martial art. It will provide you with every ounce of weight, energy, and confidence that you need.
