Yes. I would say that it is unhealthy. According to the BMI charts, you need to gain 6 pounds in order to be "normal."
The problem with being this low of a weight is that you need a certain amount of fat to keep your brain functioning.
Believe it or not, everyone thinks they are chubby, no matter what they weigh.
When you put on this weight, you'll find that your soccer game gets better too!

I don't know your physical make up,but I do know you are not chubby! You seem to be very active you could be burning off what you take in. Are you eating healthy? If you are having problems and don't believe your friends, what about your mom, dad, or other family members? Get their opinion. Another thing you may do is contact your doctor,maybe for a physical for soccer. Then ask your doctor what he/she thinks and get their professional advice. YOU ARE NOT CHUBBY! You are small, petite, and very athletic.
From a mom. Take care and continue to eat.

Chubby? Are you kidding me? You're not serious, are you?
Just make sure you eat a diet that is loaded with fresh veggies & fruits, whole grains, some dairy products. Small portions of lean, skinless meat or poultry. Stay away from fast food meals, fried junk.
Stay away from soda pop.
You're fine. Don't worry.

Regardless of what idiotic messages your favorite fashion magazines are sending you, you are NOT chubby. You are well below the average healthy weight for someone your height.
Your body-mass index is 14.9. You should gain about 15 pounds. It is not healthy to be extremely thin.

Are you joking? You must be joking......right? Because you are 26lbs. UNDERWEIGHT, kiddo.
26 pounds. You cannot be anything even close to "chubby." You probably would blow away in the wind. Good grief----go eat something and gain some weight.
