Why does my ribcage stick out like this?!


Question: Why does my ribcage stick out like this?
Im only a 13 year old male. I used to weight around 140~ pounds. Now weigh 118 pounds...

My ribs seem to stick out further then my chest. I don't know why.. I'm not even sure if my ribs has been like this since I was born. I just started to worry about it because my friends told me that its not common & that I should go get it checked it..

Here are some pictures of it.

Also, my right rib has a slight pain every time I breath now since I've been practicing doing Windmills. Windmills are break dancing move. I stopped doing them since they hurt my rib.

So.. can anyone tell me if this is bad? Should I not worry about this? Or should I go to the doctor and get it checked out?

Thank you,
-Johnny

its not necessarily bad, i think its just that you are very skinny, so you might want to put on some weigh, just for your bodies sake. thought if you are for example 5' then you might have a different problem...
