Friend told me I'm too skinny!?

So I haven't seen this friend in some time and just today I saw her again. First thing she did was come up and put her hands around my wast/stomach and said something about last time she could get her hands all the way around. I didn't like that but I ignored it. We did some fun things like going to the park and other stuff, maybe what got her was I wasn't eating the snacks. There were snacks out and everyone was eating them but I wasn't hungry and had no disire to eat at that moment. Not sure but I had tacos when I got home. Anyways so we were going to make a movie on bulling so me and someone else were "bulling" some guy and person I'm talking about was filming. So we did what we did and she said to other friend "you need to be bulling him not murdering him," then talking to dude "and try frighting back" to random girl on the side (well we know her so she's not random "how bout you get in there and stop them" and to me "and your too skinny"

Said it just like that. I don't think anyone else heard but I have like supor ears so I heard it. I just turned 15 I'm 5'5" and I think I weigh like 135-140 maybe 145 if I didn't poop yet (yes I did a little test (before pooped vrs after pooped))

Do you think I'm too skinny? Wish I could show a pic but kinda don't have one right now. There all just pics of my hair and face. :)

You need to stop listening to other people's comments. Don't worry about what this so called "friend" says, as she really isn't a good friend at all. You just need to be comfortable in your own body and forget about what everyone else thinks. Their opinion means nothing. High school can be difficult to navigate, since there are always going to be people who make negative comments, but it's good to learn to let those comments roll off your back. Once you reach college, it'll be a lot better. Until then, keep your head up and just ignore the negativity.

You don't seem too skinny. I'm the same height, I just turned 14, and I weigh around 104-106, and I eat plenty and get good excercise. If you eat properly/get enough excercise and you feel healthy, that's all that matters :-) but I saw that you like to eat junk food...next time you feel like snacking, maybe have a bowl of cereal or a yogurt parfait or some fruit instead. or a V8 juice...those are yummy :)

I totally agree with Shyteen. Don't worry about the comment. You are not too skinny for your size at all. You made a really nice comment about your friends ability to pick colors that looked good on her. The two of you should go shopping together so that you can experiment with colors and styles of clothes on you! Young girls can do that and have such great fun!

I eat like crap though! Today I just ate half a bag of chocolate chips! Thankgoodness there were no cookies. But I can't control myself at home. I'm fine when I'm doing something I only eat when I'm hungry, at home I eat cu I'm bord and like to chew crunchy things. Gum dosent work very well. But I just don't know why she wouldn't said that. Maybe she could be jelouse. Idk I think she looks fine to me. She has better cloths than me and she picks colors that work well with her skin and hair tone.
