I'm, 15 year old, male, and im 5"9, weigh 134 lbs. For my height im skinny, so i wanted to gain some weight. I currently eat about 1500-1800 calories of food every day, but i can't seem to gain weight. How many more calories a day should i eat, and are there any foods (specific) that will help me gain weight w/ out making me full and not wanting to eat after it?

you could go to 2000 -2500 calories if you are fairly active.
Some of should be protien and you need to be active to build muscle. Gaining fat is not going to make you look good. A bit more food at each meal and /or an extra snack is all you need to add. Something like a couple scambled eggs at breakfast would be excellent. (learn to make them yourself)
Your height and weight is actually pretty good for your age.

I know as a guy during the teenage years you want to be bulky, but really if you are skinny it will be a blessing through most of your life.
Anyway, I assume you want muscle, not fat, so it is not a matter of calories. Instead you need to start weight training and eating lots of protein and multi-vitamins to promote muscle growth.

Thats a lot of weight to be adding in such a short amount of time, especially for a 15 year old.
