Not eating.
Latley I haven't been eating as much as I should, actually I haven't been eating anything, except bread.
But I'm NOT hungry. Like, not at all. It's weird, because I'll go to get something to eat and feel completley full.
And I think my parents think somethings wrong with me, because we went out to eat and I was like 'wow i'm so full' after I ate my dinner, they were like 'finally, your eating'
And they keep on asking me to eat and such.
But I'm not balemic or anoerexic.
I'm 114 pounds, 5'4. Fourteen years old.
Help! <3

Make sure you're eating at least the minimum this site says:

If you eat less than that you could get a vitamin-deficiency disease. The diet it gives you is a very minimal diet, one McDonald's meal will probably be more calories than it recommends; you shouldn't have a problem with it.

Hi,
First of all, you aren't underweight. I calculated your BMI online (this is how much you weigh compared to your height), and you are right in the middle of the healthy range. Here's the sight for more info: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location).
I'm definitely not a doctor, but I do know it's pretty normal for teenagers to have very different metabolisms, and it's normal for you to not be very hungry. If you start getting headaches, or feeling tired or faint, then you probably aren't getting enough to eat.
Just try to make sure you're eating some, and getting protein, carbs, vitamins, calcium, et cetera, and I think you're good. But if this is really worrying you, go to a doctor.
I hope I helped :)
P.S. Keep in mind that, as I said, I'm not a professional so my advice may be flawed. I'm just using the information from what I've learned from my family doctor and in class. This is just an opinion.
