Answer 1

youre young! its just because youre going through a weird time in your life, dont worry puberty will bring the pounds unfortunetly. happens to everyone.

Answer 2

Problem is that so many people have eating disorders or issues with their bodies these days, so when someone is naturally slim then they it is automatically assumed that they have a problem. I was very skinny when I was young and absolutely hated it. Just do what you're doing, eat well and healthy stuff and all will be well. I'm now 52 and 2 years ago put on weight and have no clue how to lose it as it's never been a problem for me before. You are young and have your life ahead of you. Please do not become obsessed with your body and try and ignore comments. Sorry, I don't know what "wrong section" means. Take care and be happy

Answer 3

Make sure you see a physician and that the physician agrees that you eat normally and don't have an eating disorder. Since you are 13, you just may be going through some physical changes. However, many people with eating disorders insist that what they eat (a lettuce leaf every other day or something) is normal, and you need someone without a distorted viewpoint on that to confirm it.

my sister used to get hassle like that all the time when she was younger..... it used to really upset her. She was also very thin but it was purely natural and stemmed from my dad's side of the family who all seem to have a quick metabolism. She's always eaten her food and loved it, but people don't understand this and think skinny = eating disorder - not so! My sister is now 25 and has a lovely figure - an enviously nice one!

To be honest, I think the reason these people say these things to you (and to my sister) is not because they are genuinely worried about you, but because they are actually jealous of your lovely figure and know no matter how much they try they will never look as nice as you.

Don't let them get to you. They don't have a clue. You know the truth. Ignore them and enjoy being slim and lovely!

Answer 5

omg, i know how you feel, im 13 too and im 5' 1" and i get the same thing!! everyones like, u have to eat something but i know i dont have an eating disorder!! i get these drink shakes in the morning called Ensure and they seem to help and they make feel less tired cuz i usually get like 6 hours of sleep. they have alot of protein which helps u gain weight. Also, i figured out that the some of the clothes i wore were too small and made me look even worse so i bought some new clothes.

Answer 6

o my gosh i have the same problem! i am 12, 4' 11'' and weight about 73 pounds! people always think im anorexic.

one time we were in the library and these two guys came up to me with books about eating disorders. I was so embarased.

I have tried gaining weight by eating badly but trust me dont do it. eating poorly will just make u unhealthy. we have fast matabolisms so we burn more fat quicker than everyone else. I eat so much at every meal and within 10/15 minutes im hungry again.

talk to your docter or ur parents but my suggusten is to just keep eating healthy and exersizing. you even out eventually. you may have a hyper active thyroid wich will cause you to lose weight. go to your docter if you think you have a serious problem. eat lots of protein things like steak, potatoes, fish, nuts, chicken, and beans. Drink lots of milk and maybe try to use protien powder to make protien shakes. good luck!
-hope i helped!

Answer 7

I'm 18 and have been underweight all of my life. It's not something you can really do. It's just genetics. Just make sure you aren't working out too much. That can cause you to lose weight. It wasn't until my Junior year of high school that I reached 100 pounds. Even now I barely weigh enough to give blood. I could eat a large pizza by myself and then go right to sleep (and believe me I have) and not gain a pound. Just be happy that you're not one of the masses that pig out to the point where they have other problems cause by weight.

Answer 8

im 14 and 4'11.. im really skinny and petite and people are always saying i need to eat. Its not like i have a problem and i eat as much as i can :). lol thats just the way i was born, so dont worry and be comfortable with your body :).. good luck, but if you're worried talk to your parents or doctor and i think drink protein shakes can help you gain weight

Answer 9

WELL, YOU LET US KNOW HOW TALL YOU ARE BUT NOT WHAT YOU WEIGH, SO HERE'S MY STORY, YOU PROBABLY HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. I AM 5' 1/2" NOW I WEIGH 115LBS BUT ALL THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL AND EVEN AFTER THE BIRTH OF TWO KIDS I NEVER WEIGHED MORE THAN 95LBS. AND MY AVERAGE WAS 91LBS. I HAVE TO SAY THAT IT MUST BE MY METABOLISM BECAUSE I PROMISE THAT I AM NOT ANOREXIC AND EVEN PRIOR TO MY WEDDING I DRANK BOOST WEIGHT ENHANCEMENTS TO TRY TO GAIN WEIGHT AND IT NEVER WORKED, THE ONLY TIME I ACTUALLY WEIGHED OVER 100 LBS WAS WHEN I WAS PREGNANT, AND NOW THAT I HAVE HAD 3 KIDS, BUT I STILL WEIGH BARELY OVER 100LBS. YOU ARE PROBABLY JUST SMALL BONED AND IF YOU EAT WITHOUT FORCING YOURSELF TO VOMIT NO, YOU DO NOT HAVE AN EATING DISORDER. DON'T WORRY ABOUT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK OR SAY, JUST BE SECURE WITH WHO YOU ARE!

Answer 10

OMG i know just how you feel im 13 n im less then 100 lbs, n people always accuse me of bein anorexic b/c when im in ne top at all you can c my top 2 ribs in wen im in a bathin suit u can c em all, so just try comin up with a snotty remark 2 wen peeps say it!!!
