i'm 15, I weigh 110lbs and i'm 5'9. I don't think i'm to skinny, but everybody else thinks I am and it really hurts when people call me anorxic even though i'm not. So my question is, am I to skinny??

People with anorexia starve themselves, avoid high-calorie foods and exercise constantly.
Warning signs of anorexia
Deliberate self-starvation with weight loss
Fear of gaining weight
Refusal to eat
Denial of hunger
Constant exercising
Greater amounts of hair on the body or the face
Sensitivity to cold temperatures
Absent or irregular periods
Loss of scalp hair
A self-perception of being fat when the person is really too thin
If any of these characteristics decribe you, you could be anorexic. I've known naturally thin people, though. So you may not be if none of this is you.

As long as you are eating you're not anorexic. But 110 is very thin for someone your height. Some people are just naturally skinny. You're only 15 and still have a lot of time to grow, and as long as you are eating right, and staying active there should be no problem. But if your concerned about your weight maybe you should see a doctor.

You appear to be quite underweight. You may just have a very fast metabolism and small frame, but you have to be careful that your body fat percentage doesn't drop too low, so it's best to get checked out by a doctor.
I'm sorry people are ignorant and calling you Anorexic. HTH : )

You sound kinda slim for your height but I don't know you. You are not anorexic if you are eating. But if you feel guilty when you eat and you try your best not to indulge or you count your calories and try to work them all off you might have a little problem. There are many resources that can help.

Anorexia is a mental health issue. If you are overly careful about eating and you have distorted body image then you could be. If you eat normally and think you are a perfectly good human being then you do not have the mental health condition of anorexia.

You're skinny but you're not anorexic unless you think you're fat and starve yourself.
