Kelsey M	How tall are you? If your tall then yeah you need to gain some weight, if your average, you still need to gain weight, if your short, no your ok. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Terra Evans	You are underweight, you probably have a fast metabolism because of your sports and excercise so you burn off fat and calories quickly. Being skinny is good, as long as you aren't TRYING to be overly skinny or not eating properly or avoiding ALL bad for you foods instead of having fun and doing what you feel like doing. I know what you mean. I have always been like really skinny like that. But I've always been tall too, so People have always made up things about me, been mean and called me anorexic. WHY? ---JEALOUSY! Your friends are probably a tad overweight if they are 13 and weigh 130 (unless they are like 5" 10 or something.) And they are probably envious of you. You shouldn't try to eat bad for you stuff like cupcakes and crap to try to gain weight, just be the weight you are and be happy. Live with the weight your body has. Be yourself! After all, it's good to be skinny! I'm not saying fat people should go superdieting or anorexic NOT AT ALL! Some people who have serious obesity maybe should try to spend a little less time in front of the TV and go for a jog. Maybe instead of drinking soda-have a juice. Not that this pertains to you, other people may read it and I just want to get my point over that everyone should be happy the way they are. I'm just giving you the convidence you should have. I know exactly what you're going through, I've been in the EXACT same situation. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

rojv	If you're active and you eat healthy then don't worry about it. I was the same way at your age and I was fine. I was into gymnastics and I couldn't gain weight either. Now that I'm older I'm having a hard time keeping it off lol so enjoy your youth. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Yes / No

Charlie_13	i don't think so cause I'm 13 too and i weigh 99 lbs but it depends how tall you are and your bone structure Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

sara1990	i used to be like you....as you get older your body will fill out a bit, as long as your eating a heathly amount of food you'll be fine...i still only weigh 112 but i think thats a heathly weight :D Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Katee	My younger brother is the same way. Try drinking ensures. They come in a lot of flavors and they taste pretty good. The doctor suggested them and he has gained 6 pounds in the last 2 weeks plus he looks healthier already. When you think you have gained enough then stop. You can buy them at Walgreens, Duane Reade or any other drug store. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

varusly_culrd_flawrs	At 13, as a young girl, you will grow and fill out as time goes on. You might be small for now, but eat healthy (lots of fruits, veggies, fish (not shell fish) keep away from burgers, fries, and dairy, etc, and you'll be fine. No bottled drinks except water, cause that high fructose corn syrup makes belly fat. Exercise, like walking a few miles a day, and stay healthy. You have time. Don't worry about it. 10 years from now, they'll all be wishing they were small and athletic like you'll be then! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Jeremy H	same with me. i'm 13 and i weigh like 97 i think too. It's normal I think, because it's not like i don't eat or anything. I guess we just have a quick metabolism (digestion) and lose weight fast. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

bittersweet	You sound healthy. I'm 2 inches shorter and weigh about the same Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

sara	it depends on your height. How tall are you. Well people just make those comments because theyre jealous Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

jenna_dale2000	It depends on how tall you are. As long as you aren't anorexic and bulimic then you're good. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Paulfius	You really need to lose weight. I would say the idea weight is 72. Girls that are really fat (110-130) are just jealous of you. If you want a modelling career you're going to have to keep the pounds off. Eat only one meal a day,, and keep it light. Make sure you exercise every day too. The main idea is that you want to weigh 72 six years from now, consistency is key! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Stephanie L	I have this EXACT problem. I'm still trying to eat more calories.. and play less sports. I play like 5 sports. And am always working out and all that stuff. And I stoppped the sports, and just walk and lift weights to build muscle, and I eat constantly. I eat halfa gallon of ice cream.. 3 bowls of cereal, 4 peices of toast.. (NOT ALL AT ONCE) anything I can get my hands on (but I don't eat it like a pig, but casually so it's totally not gross. I do it over like.. the course of an hour). But this only gained me ONE POUND. It's called an atheletes metabolism. I'm 14, and only weigh 108-109 pounds. It's really hard. But I'm not giving up. I've been doing this for a few months. It did give me a bigger stomach (not really noticable. it gets big when I am full, or just eaten, and then really shrinks back when i'm hungry) so you need to become much more of a couch potatoe, (and I had that SAME clothes problem. just gain weight. It'll help in all the places necessary). Stop the sports, and get in as MANY calories as possible. Your body runs on 1500 calories a day. Head for.. 1800 to 2200. 2200 may be high for you, but it'll help gain weight quickly. But exercise while you do it. I eat, stopped sports, and exercised.. I can do 11 pull ups. The highest number for a girl in the high school. (be sure to do crunches more than anything. bc the fat that you get will go straight to your stomach first. well it did for me. and so do crunches to keep your stomach looking good. do 100 in the morning, and 100 at night. or 50 in the morning, and 50 at night if you don't WORK OUT (not play sports or be active) a lot. It will help. Don't give it a month. But constantly weigh yourself. You don't want to have excessive sugar.. JUST CALORIES. NOTHING else. I just looked at a cereal box, and that's it. Just calories. Give it a few months, and you will def. gain about 3 or 4 pounds. Depends on how high your metabolism is. (metabolism is the burning down of food. the higher, the quicker it gets broken down and digested. and it's harder to gain weight). But be sure to slow down the eating when you get older, or reach your weight happiness. bc your metabolism will slow down, and your weight will rise much quicker. So just watch your weight constantly. (And I get the same comments. But my friend has low metabolism, play sports, and is a HUGE couch potato all in one. So this girls weight is like 140 for her. The rest are like.. 110-120. But another girl is the * who is a slacker in doing sports, and being active, and just eating a lot. And is pretty fat for her age. well this 10th grader girl is 'average weight', but she got that weight in ALL the wrong places. she is ugly and pretty at the same time. depends on how you look at her. she's a *** * and I HATE HERR!!! sry lol, lost track. I hate her. end of story. and she took my shirt and won't give it back. it's been 3 weeks. and she made her way onto my sister's computer behind my back. and I caught her, and she just got off after that. I was like, oh okay.. whatcha doin.. she was looking at pictures of her. she was like.. she's horrible in pics. i was like.. umm. okay. (she isn't. this girl is the ONLY girl who thinks that. and honestly, not exagerating. Everyone I know BUT her says my sister is GORGEOUS. + jealous. and I am too lol.) n my sister was singing w. a song, and she was doing.. actually pretty good. and all of a sudden, she just starts bursting out laughing at her. I was like. WTF? (i didn't say it, but I had that look on my face, but she didn't see. and I just quickly changed the subject). And my sister is sooo much funn! lol, but she was tired from just waking up from a nap, and she walked in and was just checking up on me, and she was getting ready for work, and when she left my room, my 'friend' was like in a bitchy way, 'what's gotten into her?' and I'm like, she just woke up. n is going to work. she was like. oh. and she saw a yellow tree in my backyard, and was like, you would look so pretty out there in a yellow shirt! and I don't have any yellow shirts, and I told her that, and my sister told me to stay out of her room when she left, and my 'friend' was like, oh lets go into her room! and I was like, no. didn't you hear her? and she was like, so? she's not home. and I was like, i'll get a shirt quickly. N she went into a parents room when she wasn't allowed to. WHAT A *** DOOSH. SHE HAS TO GO BACK TO WHERE SHE CAME FROM. I ***** HATE HER!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HONESTLY WANT HER TO DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! p.s. this girl is really insecure, and it so totally shows that she is hates my sister bc shes pretty. she thinks she is ugly, and she is. she is abnormally pretty. she has this skater thing going on for her, has straight, long black hair, has wierd grey eyes, and pure white skin. like not kidding or exagerating.. her skin is SO INCREDIBLY PALE. And her lips are HUGE. I'm talking.. 4 inches top to bottom. prbly because she is always pushing them together to make them ugly and bigger, and from all the guys shes kissed. (they wanted her bc of her boobs). (she leaves her boobs practically hanging out of her shirt.) Half her boobs are showing 100% of the time. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

PurplePalooza	First, how can you be "about 13"?? Either you're 13 or you're not. Second, don't worry about it. Just live your life and don't worry about being skinny. Maybe your friends (or other people) are just jealous! Believe me, it will catch up with you one day, and you'll wish you were skinny. Just enjoy it. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Leila	you know....you may be skinny now...but your 13...your at the age of growing. so for now, you may be a little skinnier than your friends, but as long as you are eating enough (and healthy) food...then dont worry about it. your growing. its normal. your body will catch up :) Was this answer helpful to you?

ImHereToHelp	First of all being age 13 and 97 pounds itsnt whooping.. its average for your age. you should be about 90-115. Eating healthier may help. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Precious H	I'm 28 and I weigh 2 lbs. less than you! I always hear that I'm too skinny. But I'm not. I'm only 5ft tall. I can't gain any weight either; I've been the same weight since I was 12. Don't worry about it. You'll fill out as you get older. Just make sure you eat as much as you always have and don't diet or binge. That stuff is not good for your body. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Green Eyed Bride	You are not too skinny. When I was 13, I was just barely reaching 100 lbs. It is all about your body type and plus the fact that you play sports. I used to get comments from girls asking me if I was anerorexic when I always ate lots, but I played sports year aroun.! Then I grew up and filled out. I am not super skinny and I'm not chubby. I have a figure and I like it. You are just a girl right now. In a few years, you will start to see your woman shape come into view. Just keep enjoying your sports and don't worry about comments. They could be jealous or need to find something better to do. Have fun and don't worry about that! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

~Superstar~23~	When I was 13 i had the same problem i was 96 pounds. And everyone used to tell me to get more meat on my bones and that I'm really skinny. At times it did bother me but at the same time you have to understand that that's how god made you and eventually you will get fatter. Right now just be happy with the way your body is. Because when you get older you'll start gaining weight. When someone says something just ignore the comment and remind yourself that your perfect the way you are and that's how god made you.
