some people are jsut jealous that they can not be that skinny i would not worry about it because if the guys say your not then you are fine...you might want to try working out to gain muscle to make you less skinny

good luck

Don't listen to what your friends say. I have been told that I am anorexic by my friends it made me so upset because I knew I was not. The best way to deal with being told your to skinny is to tell people you arent. Also friends who tell you that your are like anorexic say that because they care about you.

Most guys are superficial and don't realize it. If your best friend says that you look anorexic, then chances are you do. After all. most guys don't care about girls being "too" thin. Physically, they want a slender girl with a great body. I would not worry about it too much, unless it's serious. Unless you are skipping meals, or eating really small portions, I wouldn't worry about it. Also, if you exercise, you need to eat more. Chances are that if you are constantly self-conscious, you are worried about your apperance, i.e. weight and image. Watch how some of your friends eat, and if you find yourself eating a lot less, you may have a problem.

Well really it depends on what you think: if you think your too skinny you should try to eat fattening stuff and if that dont work go to a doctor about it. if you feel fine about yourself you shouldnt change anything and besides those girls are prolly jealous.
i hope i helped! =]

Hey Sweetie...
...My best/f Dori is like that. She is very very skinny, and she eats everything. She just has a very high matabolism, and that's maybe what you have. You're friend can't tell you that you are anorexic. She is saying that in analogy, and she's not really knowing what she is saying. To me, she is making her self look stupid. Anorexia is a illness, that you, or stress brings upon a body. It doesn't mean you are skinny, that's really rude and childish. There is nothing that you can do but stay strong, brush off the messages off of your shoulders, and be you. So what if you are skinny or fat, or regular sized, it doesn't matter. You are you, and that's how God wants you to be.
...You need to tell your best/f to stop, and to just ignore the others.
I hope I helped! Have a wonderful night! :)
<3 KaTeSTAR! *

Firstly, no one your friends can't tell you if you were anorexic. Only you know if you were anorexic, and by the looks of your question you were not.

There is nothing wrong with being skinny though it can possibly be a medical problem. There is no way to determine whether someone is too skinny, or too overweight without first taking a BMI test :([Link](Mouse over link to see full location))

If you are indeed too skinny, I don't recomend you start binge eating. Your best bet is to contact a doctor or medical professional who will assist you in gaining weight safetly. Your doctor will tell you what to do specifically in order to gain weight.

REMEMBER: Everyone is different. What works for someone may not work for you. See a doctor if you want to gain weight. Trying to do so on your own may lead to other medical problem.

Good Luck

Keep on eating healthy foods! Just don't starve yourself and you'll be fine. Also, if you feel that you want to gain weight, there a pills that you can take that'll help you gain weight. Also, the reason why you have been being teased because of how skinny you are is that people are jealous about how you look. Some girls would kill themselves to look like you!! Hope I helped :)

your not anorexic unless you feel guilty after you eat. in that case you need to seek some therapy and tell a parent.
