I agree with Helen S. I think you should eat so you are full but healthy food. All that junk food may not even work in making you gain weight and it will just trash your body. Also, do you have alot muscle? You can gain weight by lifting weights because you build up muscle. Why don't you talk to a p.e. coach about it? Remember,don't be afraid to workout because you don't burn calories. You will probaly gain weight and even out as many teenagers do and I myself am doing. One last thing:
I have heard of people who have fast metabolisms when their young so they eat a lot but then when they get old and their metabolisms slow down and their still eating the same amount they gain a lot of unhealthy weight. That's why I suggest only eating until your full and only healthy food.

i can bench press your weight, and im in grade eight. yes. eat up.

you have a choice. pig out or accept the way you are and just eat healthy with a bit larger portions. i suggest not piging out because that won't do anything for your health. so get use to it and realize that you may just be a late grower

Maybe u just have a fast metabolism and ur short

well lay down after eating and sleep more

Check your BMI (body mass index)

go to BMI.com

how tall are you?
if you are healthy its ok
if you feel sick see a doctor
