Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
alright girl...im 15 too...weigh 96 pounds and am like 5'4, i couldnt believe i was the one reading it and not typing it!! but i learned the hard way that you cant gain weight...sorry...but think of how small you are and why you have remained it! because of your matabolism...i know you dont wanna hear it but its the truth, take it from me! the only thing is i dont know if you eat as much as i do (this is after i tried to gain and it didnt work). i eat a lot because im hungry, not because i wanna gain weight anymore. find a friend or 2 that will have your back when someone makes that remark...i have my friends that will, and i also have friends that thought i was annorexic and spread a rumor, but thats the past, they didnt mean to spread it. only advice i got: tell the people who tell you your too small or annorexic to fuck off...works like a charm...yes i know i kinda cus but hey it works...

Well really I think you should just be you, and people shouldn't be telling you that stuff, you're just built that way. It's not like you have a eating disorder right? If you did, then I would likely to tell you diffrent BUT since here it doesn't indicate that you have any eating disorder.
You are just built that way, you DON'T have to gain weight UNLESS YOU and I mean YOU (.NOT EVERYONE ELSE.)really want to, don't pressure yourself to literally like stuff your face just because 'everyone' is saying that about you. Not 'everyone' is saying that about you. I know that for a fact, maybe a good majority but not everyone. Trust me, I know this because I've been there and I still am. But you just have to learn to be with happy with who you are, and just work with what you've got and how you're built.
Since your body is slim and you stand at 5'3 then you likely have a 'boyish' figure. You can create 'curves' with clothes. Like for ex (since its spring): where bathing suits that are halter and have ruffled bottoms) or wear jeans that have big pockets in the back. Wearing stripes also creates curves too. In Seventeen magazine for every monthly issue they tell you what kind of clothes you can wear for your shape and height. You can go to any store like Charlotte Russe, Forever 21, Sears, Dillards anywhere really you just have to really look.
And an extra tip don't wear tight pants they are really not cute, I mean you may want to get noticed by guys but you want a fitted jean that is loose at the hip, (not something you can't squeeze out of when you take it off) you want something that accentuates your body not downgrade it.
And if you want to find the perfect pair of jeans get your measurements at a clothing dep., they'll measure your bust, waste, and hips so they can give you the low on what right pair of jains for you.
I'm not to be the one to tell you to gain weight cause I think you should just work with what you got. But if YOU really want to gain weight eat peanut butter sandwiches, they really weigh you in no time. Lean meats,pasta, but don't be unhealthy its better if you lay off the fried foods and stuff that has too much grease,butter and salt. If you must, it healthy and if not I say just work with what you got.
Hope I helped. :)

i know how you feel when ppl say your skinny. there is this guy that calls me aneroxic in the lunch room. and he yells it out in front of the tables for everyone to hear. it gets very annoying. but people who find the time of day to make fun of you or point out that your skinny they are bored with their lives so dont get mad just walk on by with your head high. okay i found a new store in this town close by me and its called steve and berry there are alot of clothes there which different designers like sarah jessica parker and amanda bynes and yeah you would fidn clothes their for you for your height and well the outlets are 45 mins away form where i live and i buy the calvin klein jeans there and they fit great around the butt and legs and have great length if you dont mind spending 69 dollars on jeans then it is good. sometime they have good deals.

ok well this is a bad habit & i wouldnt recommend it, but since your trying to GAIN weight... eat when youre bored. because being teenagers, we get bored alot. so, youll eat more. i could tell you to eat lots of mcdonalds and fatty food, but dont, because that will clog your arteries & give you a heart attack of something. :) uhh well the only thing i really know is to eat alot. just dont get too unhealthy or anything.. good luck :) -ali 16/f
