I'm a 14 year old girl. I'm 5'10 and 110 pounds. Lots of people say I'm anorexic looking since my ribs kinda stick out but I think I'm normal.

If you eat properly and don't intentionally stay that thin by depriving your body of proper nutrition, then you're ok. If you're thin because you don't eat enough, then you're too thin. This is a crucial time for your health. You're 14 and your body requires a lot of different nutrients. Make sure you're getting them or you're setting yourself up for a lifetime of health problems. If you're naturally that way with a healthy diet, then enjoy it!

No, you are in normal range because you're only 14 years old. If you
were an adult, you would be underweight. You need to weigh at least 123 lbs by the age of 18-19, and 127 lbs between the ages of 20 and 39.
The minimal healthy weight FOR YOUR CURRENT HEIGHT for ages 14 to 17 are:
14: 110 lbs
15: 113 lbs
16: 116 lbs
17: 119 lbs
Keep in mind that you will probably still grow so the values will change for a different height!! You might want to gain more weight and weigh more as your height increases!!!
You can figure out your BMI and whether you're at a healthy weight for your age and height at the following web page:

Wow, you're kinda tall! At that height your normal weight should be closer to 135-155. There is quite a jump in that range because at your height, the amount of muscle you have and your fitness level will allow for you to weigh more. Boy, I'd give ya 20 pounds for a little of your height! Just an inch or two. Ha Ha. Just kidding. I would like to be taller though to spread some of this weight out.

Sorry, but you sound dangerously under weight to me. I am 5'11" and weigh 150 and I am considered slender/thin. At 5'10" and 110 lbs you must be a bone. It is unhealthy to be so thin and can cause some serious problems. You need to put on a quite a few pounds, but you also need to do it in a healthy way. I would consult a doctor.

You need a little more on your bones, maybe a combination of muscle and fat. I'm serious. I'm 5'9" and when I was at 120# people told me my eyes were sunken and I was too pale. (It's true, I'd been in the hospital.) My mother was 5'10" and 106# when she died. She didn't have an eating problem, but the lack of weight was a contributing factor to her body not being able to fight off disease and heal.
Seriously hon, gain some weight, be healthy. I'm at 145# now and totally happy with my body. Don't get suckered in by models and actresses who have an unnatural body ideal.

Based on the height and weight entered, the BMI is 15.8, placing the BMI-for-age at the 4th percentile for girls aged 14 years 0 months. This teen is underweight and should be seen by a healthcare provider for further assessment to determine possible causes of underweight.

BMI (Body Mass Index) is the easiest way to tell if you are a healthy weight. BMI is calculated by taking weight in kg divided by height in meters squared. If your BMI is less than 18.5, you are considered underweight. Given your numbers, your BMI is 15.8. You should aim for a BMI of 18.5-25.

You're a little underweight.. Gain a few pounds (literally) and you'll be good.
