I've always been underweight. But I'm definetly not anorexic or anything, I eat lots of good food and its pretty healthy stuff..
I'm 5'2 (I just turned 13, give me a break), and 24 inch waist. I'm a size 23 for guess jeans, an XS for hollister pants, and for shirts, an XS/S abercrombie/hollister.
I'm 86 pounds..
I know I'm skinny, what should I do?

don't worry about your weight. you're 13 for heaven's sake! as long as you are eating balanced meals and getting your daily nutrition, you will be fine.

It's okay to be skinny. Some people are naturally skinnier than others, and it doesn't mean you're annorexic. I always was quite skinny (though I took a little weight from the birth control pill) and hated it, but really, when you think of all the overweight people in America, we skinny people ought to consider ourselves lucky.
The only thing that is really important is that you're eating healthy things, and do some excercise (even though you don't need to lose weight, excercise is good for building strong muscles and keeping your heart healthy).
If you want to gain a bit of weight, try eating more bread, eggs, meat, pasta, things like that. Whatever you do, do NOT start eating junk food. . .that would just make you unhealthy.
Also consider the fact that you're only 13 years old. Your body still needs to grow and you will probably gain a few pounds during puberty.

eat a lot of meat and cheese. drink at least 3 glasses of milk every day. also, lift some weights to gain muscle. all this makes you gain muscle, not fat. you will still look skinny, but you will look healthy and great! also, never ever skip a meal, and make sure to eat a snack in between breakfast and lunch, lunch and dinner, and dinner and bed. :]

Cool, another Emily :)
Well you should not focus on what the scale says, rather just focus on your health. Are you eating healthy? Are you getting enough exercise? Those are the things that count.

A female 5'2" should weigh 110 pounds +/- . I don't know how to tell you to gain weight though, because I'd like to gain 10 or 15 pounds myself.

Don't worry, your weight is perfectly fine. It's ok to be thin!
