is it stupid to become skinny?

Question

im 5,8 and i think im fat what is the right weight for a teenager

Answer 1

I don't think it's stupid to become skinny. I think it's stupid if you do it by throwing up or starving yourself. there is a right and wrong way to do everything. I rather be skinny than overweight. there are more health concerns with overweight people.

Answer 2

Well, it isn't healthy to become too skinny. You are tall and if you get too thin you will begin to look like a coat hanger. There gets to be a point at your height where you get too thin and you begin to look sick. I've been there when I was younger. Well, actually, even recently. I decided to try and lose some extra weight and everyone told me I looked better with the extra little weight, even the 5 lbs on. So, you can be too skinny. Remember on thing, when you are looking at people like models who are so thin, they have to be skinny to get into the clothing, and also the camera puts on anywhere from 5 to 10 pounds. you don't want to look like them. Anyway, in reality, men don't really find them all that attractive, they perfer real women, women with real bodies. You are a teenager, you are still growing, be careful about your body and your health.

Answer 3

Ask Karen Carpenter's fans.
Karen Anne Carpenter (March 2, 1950 – February 4, 1983) was a highly successful American singer and drummer. She and her brother, Richard, formed the successful duo The Carpenters. She is also remembered as the first famous person to die from anorexia nervosa, thereby making the illness known world-wide, and probably saving the lives of countless other victims of the disease by giving it the attention it required.

Answer 4

Everyone is different, and also some people just weigh heavier from their bones, even if you don't look it. I think as long as you are happy with the way you look, then don't bother about the number on the scales. I really would advise you not to become too skinny...it looks horrid. I think clothes look so much better on girls with a few curves, models have skinny boy figures.

Answer 5

Whoever said 125-130 is wrong, I'm 5'5 and that is my healthy goal weight, the general rule of thumb is 5' foot = 100 pounds, each inch after that is 5-7 pounds, so being 5'8

145-156

Answer 6

if you are 5 8
you should prolly weigh like 125-130
