no its fine I'm 17, 5'8 and i weigh 105 and I eat like crazy to, as long as your eating then it just depends on your metabolism some people have fast metabolism and some people have slow metabolism

It's a little skinny, but you're young so it doesn't seem very abnormal to me.

Don't worry. Your lucky you can eat what you what. Chances are you wont be able to gain a few pounds anyway cos you probably have a fast metabolism. Forget about what they say that is really mean.

wow your super skinny!!!
5'6"
small frame:120-133
medim frame:130-144
large frame: 140-159
* gain AT LEAST 14lbs! you could hurt yourself!!*

That is pretty thin for your height, but you are young and still have some growing to do, both in height and in weight. I would not worry about what others say. As long as you are eating and eating the right foods, then you are okay.

no... your not too skinny...
i'm ur age..14 and i'm way skinnier! seventy three =o
but i'm healthy... so dont worry about it...

p.s. i'm not anorexic! i actually do eat alot!~

you are underweight but its okay. im 5'8 and i weigh 109.
it all depends on ur metabolism.
i eat and eat and eat andi ownt gain a pound.
people say things to you cause they are just jealous they cant eat whatever they want and dont gain anything, or they want to be as skinny as you.
people used to call me anorexic, but then they started to grow up and stopped.

dont worry about other people
