as long as your doctors say you are healthy, i wouldn't worry about weight. be proud that you are (for example) 5'2 and 90 pounds IF you are healthy and if not, talk to a health professional. the media has made it so nearly everyone has a bad body image. even my 17 year old boy friend who is 6'4, 210 pounds and is very muscular and handsome thinks he's fat.

i'm a 15 year old girl who is 5'1 and weighs 105. so yeah, i'm on the skinny side but that's OK.

also, eating TONS of junk food isn't necessarily a good way to gain weight. eating foods that are healthy with a lot of fat such as avacados, eggs, almonds, and peanut butter put on pounds. so is exercising; taking up a sport is always fun and i made new friends and as a result feel better about myself. :) good luck!

I am so disgusted with my skinny body I have it bad I'm 18 years old 5'10 and very underweight for my height one day I weigh 115 and then the next 110 then after that what the hell I feel like committing suicide because I get teased a lot I put on 8 pairs of pants every single day and I'm tired of it yeah I know I'm skinny but I don't need to keep hearing it from people asking me how much I weight and talking about me guys don't want to date me because I'm so thin its bad enough I never had a boyfriend I can't have a normal life like others I see who have nice bodies


I have no butt and my hip bones show my spinal cord shows my wrist bone shows my calves are very small my knees are so skinny I'm sick and tired of it to all the people that say exercise that isn't always the answer and to people that say eat that isn't always the answer either to people who are fat telling an underweight person such as myself to accept our bodies is just pitiful we do not want to keep seeing ourself like bones we have low self esteems and ashamed to go outside we are ashamed to even look at a person so don't think for a second its all that easy to just love ourselfs underweight is unacceptable for us and its discusting to look at ourselfs in the mirror

I heard ensure plus is good but when I asked my doctor she told me they only give it to people with aids/hiv even my doctors talk about how skinny I am why the %^$# are my doctors making fun of me when they should be helping me? Can some one answer that I'm very pissed off I gain weight very very slow and then lose it I am to the point where I've started to cut myself because I feel like nobody cares about me and nobody wants to help me I feel like I want to die I am on depression medication my doctor told me it would help me gain weight but the medication only makes me wanna bash my head up against the wall and jump off a roof please please help I need it I am not taking the medicine my doctor gave me any more

I had a miscarriage and I cry everyday because of being underweight for my height its getting worse I need help and fast
