Your body is still growing. Give it another year or so to catch up with your height. It is common for kids to grow taller and then fill out later.

Some people are just naturally skinny, but more often than not, things will catch up with that. Don't worry about it. When you gain weight, it doesn't usually go where you'd like it to (boobs and butt), so don't worry about trying to gain weight....at least not right now.

As for the boys, well, they are immature right now anyway and have no idea what is really beautiful in a girl. They'll figure it out sooner or later. Just enjoy being young.

I was the same way. In the 12th grade, I wore a size 5 and I am about your height. There was only one other girl taller than me. I use to take "Weight On" because I didn't want to be skinny and the other girls had great shapes.

Now I wear size 16 and I'm trying to lose weight. Smile... And the girls in my class that were heavier and had nice shapes are big and fat and sloppy now! I do mean fat and out of shape big time. So enjoy being small while you can as long as you eat healthy and are not sick. I'm sure there are those in your class that envy you secretly.

When I was in school the boys didn't look at me either but I was about the only girl in my class that did not have a baby before I finished high school. Most of the other girls had boyfriends and they got pregnant. You don't know how blessed you are. Don't worry, even if the boys don't look at you now, count it a blessing and study hard and get all the education that you can! By the time you start college, you'll have some guys looking at you. Stay slim because it's better for your health and easier to find clothes. Smile..... Everyday I wish for my size 5! However, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. You are beautiful!

Don't worry about this now, because in 10 years you are going to wish you didn't gain weight so easily. The truth is, your still filling out. I used to be a bean pole, 5'8"ish and 105 lbs. I wanted to gain weight sooooo bad. Well, I got my wish and now I have to watch every thing I eat and cardio and weight lifting 5 times a week to main tain a reasonable & healthy body weight.

You need to monitor the way you gain weight, if you just eat & gain body fat... well that's just as bad as being really under weight. When you get the option at your high school, enroll in weight lifting (if offered), and learn how to correctly work out. Muscle weighs more than fat & will give you a lean & tone body that many women strive for

If it bothers you that people call you anorexic, they are covering for their personal body insecurities. Once you are done growing in height, your boobs, butt, and hips will finish filling out. If (when your 18) you still don't have the boob size you desire, go on birth control. You don't have to be having sex to be on it. But I went up a cup & a half in 4 months. Kind of a nice side effect.

Some people just have small frames naturally. You're like my sister. She eats all day, never exercises and is still a size 0. People tell her she's anorexic or bulimic, but she's not. She just has a different, rare body type and the people that make fun of you guys are probably just jealous. Girl, buy yourself a wonderbra and get on with your life.

~You can try drinking protein shakes like the body builders do, maybe start doing some strength training to tone your muscles and make yourself look a little bigger.

Love yourself. Improving your body image is from the inside not the outside.

At fourteen you are not finished growing and changing.

At fourteen I was your height and only a little heavier. All of that will change with age. At 18 I was 135, 26-114, 37 -137, 66 I am now 165. So you will continue changing as your life goes on. Please just eat healthy and do not worry so much.

Maybe you will be a highly paid model.

if you eat healthily then it doesnt matter what people think. as long as youre NOT anorexic, it means you're body is naturally like that (and many people would kill for your weight)
either, wait and youre body will sort itself out throughout puberty and you'll gain some weight, or maybe ask to go on the pill? which usually comes with weight gain in your boobs and butt which will give you a more feminine figure. i realise it could be awkward to ask your parents for the pill though so other than that, just eat healthily plus extra carbs, and do exercises so you're toned and not just skinny.

plus if you feel unfeminine without curves, dress well (chicken fillets in yuor bra if you feel you need it, lol) to complement your figure, and just have super-feminine hair and make up

good luck :)

i believe it was like 40 some bucks if not more i forget so its kinda alot so you need to talk to your parents about it but i started taken them when i was 17ish went from that 85lbs to about 106 in about 6-8 months then once i stopped taken them i lost 4 lbs and have stopped taken them for about a year now and i am at 105lbs plus went from an A to a C bra size lol i really liked them and all they are is vitamins and stuff like that check them out maybe talk to your Dr. before hand

if you can't buy those try drinking the slim fast drinks or ensure plus eating they are supppper nasty but just drink them fast they helped too at first til i started taken the pills
good luck

I am 5'8" and have been since 7th grade. I have always, always been thin.

At 24 after recently having a child, I weigh 125 pounds.

I didn't gain a figure until after high school. I remember being very glad to put on a few pounds and my grandma telling me I didn't look like a teenage boy anymore! LOL!

Be thankful for your metabolism and don't worry, it's ok to be thin if you're healthy and happy.

Please please be careful here. You do not want to gain weight for the wrong reasons, and you don't want to do so indiscriminately. First, a good part of breast development is also hormonal. You need to be a little more patient. Secondly, if you do decide you need to put on a few pounds, make them healthy functional pounds. My that I mean take in an extra hundred calories a day of high quality proteins and good fats. A handful of almonds and a yogurt as a snack would be great. It doesn't take a whole lot. Please don't listen to anyone who tells you to eat sugary crap like shakes and candy, before you know it you will be both unhealthy and OVER-weight.

i must say i am Glad to hear that you are feeling a bit better. I see that
the pirate theme is back!
While I was in Disney World, I got a chance to ride the new revamped Pirates
of the Carribean (sp?). It was really cool how they worked Captain Jack
Sparrow into the ride. They even had a guy dressed up as him outside the
ride giving tips on how to be a pirate. The kids seem to love that
character!
