Hi, I'm not a parent, I'm 13. And also i do not get teased at school. But the thing is I hate wearing sleevless tops becuase some boys call me skinny and say i need to grow weight. I still haven't started puberty..But i get discharge, Anyway, I hate being called anorexic. I'm NOT anorexic but people ask me..Are you anorexic..? I'm not anorexic. My skin dosen't go through the shape of my body. I'm just really slim. What can i eat in my whole day to gain weight..Please write back.. Somebody in need of HELP! x

Thank you for your height and you are average height for a 13 year old. As a 13 year old, you stated you have not gone into puberty. Once you start, you will start to grow upward and may develop a muscular build. You can help your muscular build now by starting to slowly work out with weights and do strengthening exercises. You can eat additional food and drink 1-2 milkshakes a day to help gain some weight (which I do not know if you need to really gain more weight because you were unable to state your weight). Right now you are in a “between” stage, going from childhood to teenager and your body has not caught up yet. Some people are naturally thin due to a higher metabolism and you maybe one of them. Best of luck.
