i can't gain weight either, i'm 18, 5'5 and 95 lbs on a good day. i was 70lbs at age 12, i think it's completely normal if you've been small your whole life. don't worry about gaining weight, i used to get hung up about it because i didn't look like my other friends and stuff, but you are beautiful just as God made you, skinny or not! your body is still growing, don't expect to see any sort of 'final project' till at least 18. hope this helps! :)

I'm a male, but I was once just like you. I was anorexically skinny until I was 23 (6'4", 140lbs). Air Force took care of that. Just eat normally, maybe throw in some exercise, and the weight will eventually come to where it should be. Enjoy it while you can, I hear other women would kill to be skinny like you.

could be...
on gaining weight though, try to eat only 3 times each 24 hour period. Eat meat, cheese, and things that are high in fat.
By only eating 3 times each day and eating at the same times each day, your body will become much more conservative, your metabolism will slow, and you will gain weight. Good luck.

I'm not sure. never heard of a person having a hard time gaining weight. especially a 12 year old girl.
