I'm not sure about it, but I've been called too skinny, but im not sure if they were kidding or not. I'm 5 feet one inch, and i think im 90 pounds. But i want to be 83 pounds. And im 12 years old, but 13 next month. I don't eat breakfast, or lunch. Maybe a cracker though. And i eat at home when i feel like it. I'm always on some crazy diet though. And i drink some formula that makes me un-hungry. Am i starting to become anorexic?

I would say so based on what you're saying about weight. I don't see why you want to lose weight if you're only 90lbs. You also said you don't eat breakfast or lunch. That's totally not healthy. It's also not healthy for a 90lb 12-year-old to be on any sort of diet. I think you should talk to a counselor or a doctor before it gets out of hand.

I would say so. There are levels of eating disorders, so you can still eat a little and be anorexic. Or, they may be another eating disorder that is just as serious.
Tell someone how you feel. If you can talk to a parent, that would be best - but sooner or later they will find out. Talk to any adult you trust - a friends parent, a doctor, a teacher, a counselor at school, aunt/uncle/grandparent...Anyone. You need help and the fact that you are asking about it here shows you know that. Its the first step, the second is to get help.
Good luck, and I hope things start to get better for you.

First of all, you are a bit skinny. And you shouldn't try to lose any more weight.
You should eat more. Don't drink whatever it is that you're drinking to make you stop being hungry. Your body needs you to give it food.
You're still VERY young. You don't need to diet! You're still growing and your body is changing a lot. You need to give it the food it needs to grow or it could be bad for your body.

I don't know if you are anorexic BUT you definitely have unhealthy habits. It's definitely good that you are listening to your friends and that you are aware that you might have a problem. I would go to the doctor's and get referred to counseling. Counseling involves a lot of stigma but it can help you. You already took the biggest step though by admiting that you could have a problem.

Absolutely, just the fact that you can type all that and not realize you are is evidence in itself that you may be in self-denial. You should be around 100 lbs, I don't want this to come across to strongly but I really do recommend having your mom or dad take you to the doctor and actually try to fix this.

You might be. You should stop this bad habit and start eating healthy. Listen to your doctor's recommendation.
Best of luck!

You are anorexic.
You are WAY too thin now. You need to GAIN 25 lbs. at the very least.
