i was just like you. everyone is built different so it may just be in your genes to be thin. just like its in peoples genes to be overweight. there may not be too much you can do about that but eat a lot of protein like meat. its still healthy but may help. everyone has a different pace that they grow in the chest area. if you havent started now give it about another year at the most. theres nothing going wrong, everyone just grows at a different rate. theres not much you can do except just eat healthy and give it some time. hope that helps.

you will gain weight naturally and with time. Everyone is different hun so don't worry about a thing.

Just stay healthy, eat your veges, all that :-P

You're only 12. You might go through puberty later.

If you're not starving yourself, and that is your NATURAL weight, I wouldn't sweat it! You're just one of those lucky girls that have a fast metabolism (it means you burn fat REALLY fast!, which is why you don't gain weight).


You're normal.

you're 12...you still have time to fill out and get boobs...
its all in your genes...development rates differ from person to person so dont worry..
just eat healthy...not any more or less....you'll be fine...

well try eating more red meat, and dont workout if you do that is, and other then that wait for puberty to take its course i know this girl shes 14, and only 95lbs, so every girl is different

the bigger you are the bigger your boobs are.you may have a fast matabilism, just eat regulary and eventually you'll gain weight&&get boobs.

you probably have a really fast metabolism some of my Friends can eat allot more than me and I'm kinda over weight but the point is they never gain a pound when i do.

Hope this helps

Don't try to gain weight and your fine because you already started puberty. When I was 12 I started to get hair but I was still flat. You are a little to light but thats probably just the way you are. 65 pounds isn't that bad. My friend is 13 and she weights 72 pounds but she's only 4'9 lol! Don't worry about it as long as your not bulimic, anorexic, or really weak then your fine! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise:)

Aw i understand how aggravating that can be. I was just like that but dont worry you are only twelve, you will grow and gain weight ( and boobs ) but for now you must just eat eat eat HEALTHY and wait. Once you get to be a little older check to see if birth control is right for you. I know it can make you gain weight. Keep your exercise simple if you do work out. You dont want to be burning your calories right off. Talk to your parents/doctor.

Hope this helps! and dont worry im sure you will grow everything in no time.


:) Good luck!

Hon you need to ask a doctor, go with your mom or dad. You are going to gain weight and you will grow breasts. As long as you aren'y starving yourself you will be fine. you have a fast motabolism. it is your natural weight. You will be fine as you get furthur into puberty. but if there is no change then ask a doctor.

agree with the first girl. you're right around that age where everything will come together in the next few years. if you're healthy (eat balanced meals, little to no junk food, lots of whole grains, fruits, veggies, exercise regularly, etc.), then you'll gain weight, and grow taller. drink milk for the hormones (try organic), which will help (just don't go crazy, maybe a glass a day).

i wouldn't worry about not growing breasts, but getting hair. the body does its own thing, in its own order. maybe you're just not meant to get big breasts, but everyone gets pubic hair. relax, i promise it'll even out probably before you're 18

You probably have a high motabalism,
meaning you don't gain weight as easily when you eat.
It doesn't mean you aren't healthy.
Just make sure you eat right, and drink right too.
And don't forget to exercise regularly!

Stay healthy!
I hope I have helped!
Lassie :D
