i went through the same thing when i was 13. i think at that age you're so self-concious that you try to find any little thing that seems to be wrong with yourself, and you believe it to be worse then it really is. If you are so skinny that your ribs stick out, DO NOT cut meals or eat very little.

If you feel as though you are over-weight, maybe try eating a little healthier. you may be eating normal meals but the content of the food may not be good for you. Also, you could do a little bit of excersising. You don't have to go crazy or anything, but maybe you could take a walk around the block, or find a sport you really love and go with that.

also, stop comparing yourself to other people. i did that all the time and it's the worst thing to do. everybody has a different body type and we can't keep comparing ourselves to people the same ages as us that may weigh less, but may have a different build. because you're so tall, your weight is most deffinitley normal and i'm sure you do not look fat at all.

i know its hard but just keep your self-esteem up and i'm sure you'll be feeling better about yourself shortly!

Chill out, dude. You're not fat.

Muscle weighs more than fat, plus taller people weigh more than shorter people.
So in all likelyness, you and those "other" guys are all equal.
You're not fat.

Hope I helped

That sounds like a perfectly normal weight for your age. You're a guy right? I'm a girl, 15, 5'8 and 135lb. (I'm considered standard.) For a guy your height and age just compared to me, you sound perfectly normal. I understand though. Other kids your age look... well... small, especially in this generation for some reason. Don't compare yourself to them. They're just too small!
