you probably just have a high metabolism...i was the same way...it's nothing to worry about as long as you are eating regularly..

well just a little, but i think its about a good size..you are lucky..you should be happy haha

no you just have a fast metabolism
one of my friends is 5'8 and 95 lbs but she eats alotttt

well are YOU happy with your bod if you are, dont worry about it. It seemes like you are kind of slim. but dont get too obsessed about it

im the same size as you! except im almost 17. its underweight, but since you eat regularly, you're fine :)

You have plenty of time to gain weight as you age.

Enjoy being thin for a while

hah no i used to be like u til i decided i was fatt and effed up my metabolism

you weigh less than me! eat healthier. it is your metabolism, definitely. that's how I work. but when I eat super healthy, I gain like 10 lbs.

you should weight 108-115. I weigh 107 ...

good luck. remember: muscle weighs more than fat - gain some muscle

Yes, you are underweight. But even skinny people can be very unhealthy. You need to def. start getting active and change your diet. I checked your BMI and yours is 15.5. To be at a normal weight you should be at least 18.5. Try seeing a physician to maybe getting a healthier diet and see about putting on a healthy amount of weight.

here is a website that will tell you what category of weight your in
