Am I fat based on my stats?

Question

All of my friends call me skinny but I can't help but look at myself in the mirror and think my thighs and stomach are fat. Here's my basic stats:
Height: 5"5'
Weight: 98 pounds

By the way, I'm 13 years old (I'll be 14 in February)

No, I swear! I eat a ton of food!!! I eat the most in my whole family! My mom teases me because she says I eat like a horse and have a high metabolism. I'm NOT anorexic, trust me. I'm FAR from it.

Answer 1

OKAY first of all, everybody STOP calling her anorexic. just because your skinny doesnt mean your anorexic. obviously some people cant see that.
trust me i was like that. no seriously i was exactly your height and exactly ur weight. then i decided i was sick of being so light so now im up to like 102. and i look a lot better i think. fat is good. not like obesely fat, but nobody wants to look at a skeleton either. healthy and in shape and athletic is much better.

Answer 2

I don't mean to be blunt about this, but you may very well be anorexic.

You are by no means anywhere near the fat range, in fact, you are approaching the point of being unhealthily thin.

If you already know the following, I apologize in advance. Also, I am going to speak AS IF you are anorexic, though you might not be.

Anorexia is a psychological disease, not a childish obsession. Thus, while people may think you're trying to get attention, it's really much deeper and you will need a boost of confidence, knowing that you really are at a reasonable or even too-low weight will come with this. Not to say that there is something wrong with you, but you are probably reacting to some sort of pressure in your life at a subconscious level.

Long story short, you're certainly not fat, and you might want to try putting on a few pounds, if not maintaining your weight.

I think in kgs so I dunno' but at 13 your body hasn't finished developing yet so it doesnt matter what you look like now, as you will look different by the time you are 21.
just don't eat any junk food and make sure you do some sports, like swimming. If you swim 2 hours a week every week of your life you will NEVER be fat, think about it. If not, then just WALK as much as you can. keep on moving and you'll be fine.

Answer 4

Actually, according to your Body Mass Index (BMI) you are underweight. Could your belief that you are fat when you look in the mirror be a result of unrealistic expectations? Given your age, that is pretty common to believe you are fat even when you are not. The media bombards us with images of underweight women and calls them beautiful.
Listen to your friends. They often have a more realistic view.

Answer 5

The point is not how thin or fat or short or tall or in between with spots or chronically shy or hopelessly embarrassed by adults we know or wishing we were thinner or fatter (or fitter) and he or she liked us and we would be good or even brilliant at everything we did or ruled the world or something.
The point is to be comfortable in our own skin.
