weight loss?
I'm 15 and I know it's common to lose weight through puberty , and yeah I did grow to almost 6ft , but I have been getting comments on how " lanky " I am and I get kind of offended when people call me skinny , and think maybe I'm too slim ? I really don't want to lose any more weight , does anyone have any suggestions without eating loads :/ ?
Exercise and eat well, take care of your body! I had been called lanky all my life (currently 18), since about 17 I've gotten some more "shape" to myself from sports and just growing up. Embrace how you look and love it, I know I miss my lanky days from time to time. You can do some weight training to gain muscle (much better for you than gaining fat), takes persistency to see the results but it's really worth it and has lots of benefits!

You are almost six feet tall? Wowie! Well, it is hard to eat enough for such a tall frame. Exercise and eat well and hopefully it all evens out. I'm sure you are gorgeous!! Most would envy being that tall and feeling like they could gain a little weight. But we all know, the grass isn't always greener. Good luck hon

Don't worry about it! It is better to be skinny than fat but if you are to worried about it talk to a doctor or your mom
