Yeah. i'm 12, 5'4 and only 90 lbs. it's not the type of skinny where people go like "wow, nice body" or whatever. people are always like "you look like a twig," and no, it's not a compliment. i'm sick of looking at my wrists/arms, which look like ... very skinny sticks. and i'm not really exaggerating. and buying clothes really SUCKS, because whenever i try on pants or a shirt they always hang off of me because im too skinny.

no matter how much i eat, i dont gain any weight. and yes i do eat healthy food and i dont even exercise that much because im too lazy.

saying you "you look like a twig" is just as rude as saying "OMG. YOU'RE SO FAT".

i have no advice, but i did have a rant.

i win.

I'm 11, 5"1 and 80 pounds. If you see me strip, you can see my rib cage so damn clearly. Thinner as I can get, you'll see my bones. My mommy says I need to eat more fat. My friends think I'm anexortic [sp] and scared of my weight. o.O I am hella not.

yeah, people say i'm skinny too but they dont say nuttin like i look like a twig or anything but i like how i am cuz, u know, u dont want to be fat right? and u can find any clothes that dont hang off of u? i didnt mean to hurt ur feelings or anything but u can try lookin for extra-small shirts. dont worry, i wear that size too

I'm skinny too. I've always been thin.. it doesn't bother me until someone comes to me and says " omgsh your so skinny " and after that I always say " would you go up to a fat person and say omgsh your so fat ? " Then they get it.

It's like how rude can you be. I can't gain weight no matter what.. it's just my metabolism I guess not to mention heredity because my bro is also skinny.

I don't know. Just be happy with yourself.

Stop bragging about your weights..

yea. i'm skinny too. i get to same stupid comments. i have problems finding pants. they're always too big. and same thing bout the food and the exercising.

im 12. dont kno how tall i am (pretty short lol). and 80 lbs. nobody says i look like twig, or in that case, a pin. so stop teling me that im not normal!! cos if u arent normal.. then i must be dead by now.

ur only 12 chill out and stop complaining. be happy ur not 475 pounds. its annoying to hear "omg im so skinny..blah blah blah" makes me think ur only fishing for compliments.

Heh I was just like that when I was 12. I'm 15 now, and I got fat. Believe me being too skinny is waaay better than being fat, be happy.

i'm 13..5'0? and weigh 85ish pounds...? i'm skiiiinnny tew. but w/e. i always have to deal with wat ppo say, but it'z alright cuz they never say it oftently. sutimes i'm glad to be skinny but other times its just dull.

go to the pharmacy. they'll give you something to make you gain weight. but then again, you're still young. i guess you're gonna grow.

just eat more. when you have the chance. stuff yourself.

but at the same time eat vegetables so you wont be like MUCHO FAT.

see, if i were you, i'd take advantage of your metabolism!!! i know you said you eat a lot. but you can big out, biotch! i mean, if i pig out, i gain five pounds. if you do, even if you do gain five pounds, it's a good thing.

I was like 85 pounds at ur age too as u get older ull probably gain more weight...e]try eating some junk food

Honestly, you should be happy. It'll be worth it when you're older to have metabolism like that. And...if you said you've been eating as much as you can and nothing doesn't change, then there's nothing we can do to help you. Go to your doctor's or something.

yah..i agree with that

i used to be super super skinny..until i started track..but I ABSOLUTELY HATE IT when people come up to me and are like "OMG..you're sooooo skinny..i hate you" and such..believe me..it's not something i like to hear

i still have people do that to me..luckily not as much anymore

im 12 and i was 90 pounds like a month ago i went through mmmmmmmmmmaaaaaaaaajor puberty and i got to 100 pounds... wonder if thats normal. dont worry though i know how you feel. and for the eating, you have a fast metabilism i went through it. just stay healthy and wait until you see that weight going up

and excatly ppl dont understand that

drink a full cup of fat :-D hehe what works for me is going to a buffet...ppl thing im an anorexic cause im 5'4 and i weighed 105 for 2 years so i went to a buffet, started working out, n now im chubbbby 121 >.<...but then again im a guy...

People say that to me all the time, but it doesn't bother me because I just ignore it - a talent I've mastered.

Ditto....GO CHUBBY PEOPLE!

Ditto to the ditto

i'm 13 and im 5'1 and im 100 lbs and im still underweight...i eat like a pig and i dont excercise too...i guess its bcuz we have high metabolism..but we'll eventually get fat as we grow older

i am 13 and this july i am going to 14 and i am 90-95 pounds and less than 5 feet

I'm 13, 5'1, & weighs 90 som' pounds & i'm still skinny. i have SLOW metabolism. just eat a lot & wait, you are still young & still growing.

your not skinny. people are just fat. =)

Yeah, Im a dancer, I know SO many REALLY skinny girls, Im not calling myself fat or anything, because Im not, Im not too skinny, not too fat, but just ignore people when they say that!! or tell them to piss off!(LOL!)


~:~:+:~:~Me n my best friend!~::+:~:~

hm.

i was watching mean girls the other day. Maybe you can try one of those swiss weight-gaining bars.

if they exist.

well...ur only 12. You gotta give urself time. Bring this topic up again when ur 18. U'll "fill" out when u get older, so don't sweat it.....you guys r too young to be complaining about ur weight!

there's no hope for you...go crawl into a hole and die -- NO SKINNY CHICKS!

yea me too =p

aww don't worry i have a few friends like that. fast metabolism

I have fast metabolism. You maybe might have that too.

it doesn't matter, as long as you're healthy and not starving yourself to death. i really don't see why you're worried.. at all. you won't suffer from obesity and all the risks that come with it. so celebrate?

Rargh. >_<
^jealous

Lol, but really. I guess I can see how this gets on your nerves. But don't worry, you're still growing, and you'll definetly fill out sometime soon. Instead, think about how happy you'll be with your fast metabolism when you're in your thirties. =]

= ( same here but i just turned 13 in december and i think i weigh as much as you but i'm like 5"2 i think but i don't know fo sho nd i hate how people alwayz say you should eat more! it'z like i do eat! i eat like a frkin pig if you see me you would know but i don't gain wieght either ^__^ nd don't excercise it's the same thing with my older sis =X she is like 20 sumtin and she is way skinny i think i inherited{sp} from her =X ahaha but yeah i get what your saying

My friends always say that you may stuff yourself and be skinny now..but when you're forty..you'll be fat. =P.

A good place to start is with your doctor. You may have underlying disorder, such as a hyperactive thyroid, that may be keeping you too thin. If everything checks out, then more than likely you are simply genetically programmed to be thin. If one or both of your parents or other relative is thin, then there is evidence.

Depending upon which weight chart you look at, you will find variations in recommended weights for you height as much as 40 pounds or more. One must keep in mind the size of the body frame, too. A little-boned person who is programmed to be thin and who is very active will burn off any extra calories consumed. If you feel well and are in good health, then one can assume that all is well.

A consultation with a dietition about your eating habits and suggestions for weight gain may be helpful. If you have insurance, then a referral by your physician may help get insurance for this.

Weight gain powders and protein drinks offer no advantage over healthy food from the grocery store, and they tend to cost more.
Making adjustments in your activity level, as already suggested may help. Becoming a couch potato, may help with weight gain, but may not be good for your over all well-being and health. All things considered, it is difficult for some to gain weight. If it's any consolation, skinny people tend to live longer.

your only 12 .. you still got a long way to get thicker t.t

yeah if it bothers you THAT MUCH go to a doctor and they'll help you gain weight, but dont complain that people are telling you that you're skinny. better than people talking about you behind your back about how fat you are.

im heka skinn too but ppl dont say anything about it cuz im short so it wont b heka nasty um im 12 4'11 and 74 hheh u jus hav a fast matbulisum

is it because you don't eat much or is it just because you have a high metabolism? either way I guess it isn't your fault. you shouldn't be worrying about your weight now since you're horomones are changing and we're going through puberty and adolescence. If you feel annoyed by the comments you recieve just ignore them.

Working out can actually help by building muscles. The only way you could be so impossibly skinny is if you're devoid of any muscles, so I would start with that.

And you need to understand that fat and sugars are part of a good diet, you do need some to keep you healthy.

i think that is true ^__^ us ladys are going thru a time and i think it'z just i have high metabolism cuz i big myself out ^__^

Er, Maybe you have just weird body dimensions. My friend from swim does. Maybe you should exercise and treat your body right.

And Re to your weight system thing, I'm also 12 and I weigh 88 pounds and I'm only about an inch shorter so your weight isn't that abnormal. ^^

pshh now im 13 but wen i was 10 i was only around 50-60 but den i nevr worried about it and my mom was like that too but the weird part is that i eat alot and i eat junkfood daily and it seemed like i couldnt gain a single pound and i would excerise too but nothing work but just keep on doin what u do regularly cept if u dunt excersise try doin it and ull grow into shape adventually

heh . im 12 . 5'3 . 98 pounds. =) you are not like a twig. your perfecT ! 5'4 . 12. well . i can see dat ur taller den me. but actually, u should be glad that ur skinny becuz a lot of ppl who is fat wishes dat dey're really skinny. n skinny is good, becuz u can fit in a lot of clothes. just , dont worry and dont eat less. dont try to eat more then you are suppose to though . =)
