Answers:

Depends on your frame size, smaller framed guys don't weigh nearly as much as guys with larger skeletal frames. But sounds rather skinny. Frankly if you can count your ribs in a mirror, you need more meat on those ribs. I used to be that skinny when I was your age, but was 4 inches taller and weighed 155 pounds- but have a large frame. You could count my ribs and my vertebra when I took off my shirt. I'd recommend you start exercising to build up some muscle mass, at least start walking or running and that will increase your appetite too. Better to pack on muscle instead of fat.



Yes. Yes you are. I'd have to be 94 pounds to be underweight. And I'm five feet tall. That's saying something.



start eating some chocolate cake everyday you will be fine



yes, kinda disgusting.



why should i care?
