Q: Okay, I'm 13 and i'm 5'0 (yeah im small!) and i weigh about, lets see 60-70 pounds. And I'm very concerned about it. Do you think I'm TERRIBALLY under-weight, or just little low?

And also, I HATE milk, so I dont drink that.
I eat alot of meat.. probally 3 times a week.
I eat ALOT of junk foods... i'd suspect to be fat by now.
I drink alot of soda, if that helps. And water also.

Last time I had a check-up, I was 12, and I weighed about 58 pounds.
And everyone is jellous for some reason that I'm that weight.

So, can I have your advice on how to gain about 10 pounds? I'm really into your advice, I'll read it thougly, completly untill im 100% okay with it and rate it what it deserves!

Please help :)

Hey!

There is nothing to worry about. I am the EXACT same size as you and I am 13 years old as well. I was a little concerned too. I asked my mom about it and she said that it's all genetics. It's inherited by someone in your family, most of the time. So, is anyone in your family short too? If so, that's probably who you inherited it from, even if it's not the person who gave birth to you. Sometimes, you may look JUST LIKE a cousin. I look EXACTLY like my cousin, Malissa. She's 19 and I'm 13 but if you put her childhood pictures by mine, you couldn't tell them apart. She's my cousin and I inherit HER size and her facial features. There is nothing to be ashamed of. It's good that we are short. I'm proud and you should be too. I'm also 5'0 and 13, like I said, and I don't care. All my boyfriends are taller than, which is good because tall girls always go out with REALLY short guys and they look like giant freaks. Just think: We'll look so good next to taller guys. It's better to look UP at someone rather than looking DOWN. Right?

Don't worry about it! I'm going through the same thing.
P.S. If no one in your family is short, that means you're going to [soon[ have a growth spirt and grow a few inches in a month. That way, you'll be a little taller! :-)

Best of luck!

Hope I helped!
