Plz Rate How Serious It Is: 1-20
1= underweight, 10= anorexic, 20= very serious

I don't think you should be asking the people on here about this 'problem'. Make an appointment with your family doctor. Even though your 13 and weight 75lbs it MIGHT be okay if you are short. Your doctor can let you know if this is healthy or something that needs quick attention. Please don't take people's advice on here to heart without seeking medical attention.
Good luck!

No biggie, I was 13 and weighed 87 pounds. Being skinny for many kids is part of growing up. I was a beanpole until I hit 30.
As long as you aren't vomiting or denying yourself food you are most likely just fine.

You're not anorexic unless you are engaging in some strange eating behaviours, like crazy amounts of exercise or only eating things that are a certain color. Alot depends on your body fat ratio, as well. Your height ties into this. WHAT YOU SHOULD DO IF YOU'RE TRULY CONCERNED: go to the doctor and mention your issue! Doctors are qualified to give opinions on things like this.

We don't know how tall you are or what your build is. If you're eating properly and not making yourself throw up, you should be okay. Eat more fattening things for awhile, like bread and butter.
