Don't worry too much about your weight. You're very young. I know what it feels like to be thin though. I"m skinny too and have been all my life as well. I know it can be frustrating at times. When I was in high school - I was so tiny, ppl asked me if I was anorexic...which really upset me cause I would never hunger my body!
One big advise...PLEASE DON'T EAT UNHEALTHY FOOD TO GAIN WEIGHT! You won't gain weight in the right places: prolly ur tummy - not the boobs and the butt. Ppl who tell you to just eat a lot of junk food obviously do not know what they're talking about. It's very unhealthy and it will definitely nothelp you in the long run.
What you can do - is some good healthy exercise to gain muscles ( you won't look like a boy!) and dress in a way that will make you appear fuller and less skinny.
I found a great website on this subject, you should ask them ur question too - they've always helped me out. i'll give u the link:

Good luck with everything girl - remember: you are beautiful the way you are!!! :-) Don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise!!!

No, you are not anorexic.
Anorexic people do not eat, they starve themselves for a very long time, and if they do eat, they'll throw it up. That's anorexic. But you're doing none of that.
Dont listen to other people, listen to those who care about you, meaning family members. Trust me, I had the same problem. In addition, dont try to put on weight just because others tell you to. Feel comfortable with your self, do what you're body tells you to do.
You say you're 14 years old, at 100 pounds, and thats good, because most people at that age are overweight, if you we're 24 years old and weight 100 pound then yeah, i'd be worry, but in you're case, you have nothing to worry about. And when others make fun, dont listen, because at the end of the day words will be words, you shouldnt let them hurt you.

i dont think your anorexic at all. anorexia is when people try and be skinny, then look in a mirror and think that they're fat. see, when you eat a lot and exercise alot, it burns off the calories you just ate. im a figure skater so i know. dont try to put on more weight. just be happy with your body. but if your really concerned go to your doctor and ask him/her if you should be concerned.

this sort of happened to me too.
i was only 115 in 9th grade, when i was like 5'10'
i always ate alot, but i never really gained wait.
i started lifting some, and started to eat more protein
now I'm around 160 or so at 6'3' in 11th grade
people still think I'm skinny but i just keep eating, and lifting, and hopefully i fill out some day.

How tall are you?
Actually, 100 pounds is about normal for most 14 year olds, depending on the build.
As for those (insert impolite word here) who are teasing you- they're jealous and generally small-minded. And therefore are not worth consideration.

Being skinny is good...why would you want to gain weight i wish i could be skinnier and if you eat then you dont need to worry about being anorexic.

If you are 14 and 100lbs but eat, exercise and have a healthy life then don't worry about gaining weight.

You are not anorexic. You might be underweight, but just eat healthy and take care of your body... maybe you are just always going to be on the thinner side! Not a bad thing!

How tall are you? If you are kinda short then your weight is probably okay. If not then it would probably be wise to gain a few pounds. :-)
