I think that this is a social phenomenon - since a person's weight is unfortunately such an important issue because our society and media has made it so important, it creates people to value a person's weight, and therefore, appearance. Don't EVER allow the other people in your class to make you think any less of yourself because of the way you look. More than likely they are jealous and don't let them upset you. Every time they make you feel bad about yourself just smile inside because they want to be you!

I think they are unhappy with them self and wish to look like you, but because they are not there, they have to pick on you and it seems to work.
My friend did that to me for a while, hey and she is 34 and I am 36 always calling me to skinny. Now she is skinny herself and quiet, so what does that tell you. :)
Ignore it and be excidet, don't let them get you into that circle of getting a weight issue. Might should hand them some choclate with the coment, I just want to make sure you won't end up like me so skinny. (well bad advice)
I am sure if you talk to the teacher, there will be maybe an educational group talk. About weight and you are fine. And hopefully they stop. Keep smiling

Because everyone wants to be "In" and if they can make you feel "out" then they feel good about themselves. A lot of people don't realize that every thing people are self-conscious too. I didn't know that until I had a friend who could not gain weight and I saw how she felt about people making comments to her.
At your age, kids are always looking to see who is different. Then they use that to make themselves feel like they are OK. It is hard, I know - but try to keep that in mind when they act like jerks. Over time it won't hurt as much when you realize it's about THEIR insecurity.
And don't take their crap either. Tell the nastiest hater who comes at you that she shouldn't be mad - YOU'RE not the one who made her eat the entire Christmas Fruit Cake. Then run! ;)
Good Luck.

I have been thin all my life.
I would suspect that they are doing it for the same reasons that thin/regular people would make fun of someone who is overweight. The difference here being that it is now considered Politically Incorrect to make fun of someone who is overweight. The claim is that "they can't help it, it's in their genes". For some reason, society does not realize that it goes both ways. I've spent the better part of 10 years trying to put on weight, and only lately have I been at all successful. My metabolism is finally slowing down.
Don't let them get to you. Tell them they are lashing out at you because they are jealous that you can eat what you want and not be Morbidly Obese.

Usually the other way around, due to society's ill-placed perception.
But in your case, teens, especially girls, make fun of others as a way to take attention away from themselves. They are often very insecure. Don't stoop to their level, but know that it's not really personal, and just make your own opinion of yourself - it's best for the self esteem!

Good question, I'm also 13 (male) I weigh around 80 lbs. and I'm about 5'2", but I don't get made fun of, don't make fun of them because they you will eventually get in trouble too! They're just jealous, once one of them makes fun of you the others start to catch on. They just wish they could be skinny, (I'm sorry, thin) but they know that's gonna happen so they make fun of you for having something they want! And if this problem consits just ignore them and see your school's counselor.

Dont know why they call you anorexic but as a child I put up with loads of abuse from my skinny sisters because I weighed more than them, (at 17 years I weighed 7 stone (98 pounds) which I do not count as heavy but it is all a case of what the majority weigh.

Are you anorexic? If so than you know lthe answer to this question. There is a difference between anorexic and naturally skinny and it's an obvious skinny.
