I’m 13 and only weigh 94 pounds. My mom is thin, so I guess it’s hereditary. Should I eat junk food to plump up?

uusillygiirl on 8/3/2008 5:51:35 PM
Wow. I have the exact oposite problem. I'm 13 and weigh 146 lbs. I wish I was you so much! What kind of things do you eat that keep you so thin? Do you exercise? I want to be thin so bad and I'm trying really hard.
i_luv_bugs_bunny on 8/3/2008 5:52:42 PM
i wouldn't worry about being thin if you're eating enough. it's all about being healthy.
xeoa on 8/3/2008 5:59:07 PM

girly-girl-#1 on 8/3/2008 7:39:16 PM
You might not even be that thin-ur age and weight don't define ur health. if ur really short, ur going to way less than everyone else!
fashionista8613 on 8/3/2008 7:53:02 PM
Yeah thats how I used to be. All my friends said that I am super skinny, and I ate a peanutbutter sandwich for a snack and that helped gain some wieght (thats what my doc suggested). But dont worry about if you dont have the "perfect body". No one does. Just stay heathy and enjoy yourself! 1st post?? =D
cowgirl179 on 8/3/2008 8:34:20 PM
so many girls wish to havethat prob lol.
mgirl817 on 8/3/2008 8:35:54 PM
hey babe enjoy it! i'm naturally skinny too and i love it! just keep up some exercise so you stay strong, and eat healthy.
BlondeBeachBabe on 8/3/2008 8:45:35 PM
u shouldn't try 2 gain weight if u r eating healthy. DONT STUFF YOURSELF WITH JUNK FOOD. it packs on the fatty pounds, not the good muscular pounds. it's all about being healthy. if u r living healthfully, then i wouldn't worry about it.
xeoa on 8/3/2008 9:11:13 PM
mod or girls my ex best friend changed she wears make up says bad words and im sure she kisses guys and she is only 11!!!i know she is a bad influence so i dont hang out with her but i cant forget about her.we were bffs 4 3 years and i miss her.....how do i forget?
nickjonasrox on 8/3/2008 9:19:13 PM
Hayy!!! Anonymous-def don't eat a lot of junk food to gain weight. Junk food-as much as I love it-is way bad for you. I have the same problem. I am 14, and last year (13) I weighed about the same as you. Roughly 94 pounds. But now I weigh 110. I am actually happy that I gained weight. You'll probably gain some wait eventually-you just don't need to diet. ♥♥♥
FutbolChica on 8/3/2008 9:21:49 PM
dont eat junk food!as long as your healthy itz ok!! if you eat junk youll be super un healthy
nickjonasrox on 8/3/2008 9:21:56 PM
I pretty much have the same problem -- I'm 12 and weigh around 84 pounds. But I'm really short, so that's probably why. Just love who you are! XOXO, SSG
ShopperSoccerGurl on 8/3/2008 9:35:13 PM
Im 14 n way 90 pounds but my doctor said that was ok
glamgirl95 on 8/3/2008 9:52:08 PM
i have a friend that is now 14 and she only weighs about 90 pounds! all she is is skin and bones and you can fit ur whole hand and her wrist. she just can't gain weight no matter how hard she tries.
dramadork on 8/3/2008 9:54:17 PM
GIRLS ok i have a problem...i weigh more than all my friend. i know i do cuz i am a bit bigger.I feel really uncomfortable and somtimes wanna cry when they do somthing a thinner person can do and they try to get me to do but i know i cant. One of my friends had a party and a waterbaloon fight! I didnt have spare clothes so i did participate. She offered to let me borrow some jeans or shorts of her's and i said no because i knew i wouldnt fit! What should I do to possibly try and make it clear to them that...im not like them? HELP!
lucky charms on 8/3/2008 10:01:41 PM

************MODERATOR************** i have a dilemma. i was going to go to ocean city with my friend but she said something kind of rude about my mom and my mom found out and "disinvited" her. now, i could invite my other bff, but im afraid that she will think that i think of her as my last resort, and my other friend will get mad that i invited her. my other bff already knew that i was gunna go to the beach with my friend but i dont think she minded. would it b ok to invite my other bff??
Hey babes, invite whoever you want to invite. They wont be annoyed if they are the runner up. xoxo JANA

***********MODERATOR************* MOD PLEASE HELP!!! the guy i like's bday was yesterday and mine was 3 days b4 that and he was telling me that he was gunna get me something for my bday like a "rele nice extra special" card and so i told him i would make him a card but then wen i sent it to him he didnt say anything!!!!! and i was already really embarrassed to send it to him cuz i thought the card was bad...i havent talked to him since yesterday and thats wen i sent him the card...what dou think this means????
Hey babes, if you sent the card yesterday he hasnt gotten it yet. I dont think his lack of speech has anything to do with your card. What you did was nice regardless of whether or not you get something back in return. xoxo JANA

**MOD AND GIRLS** My BFF is a JV cheerleader and she said it's a ton of fun so I decided I want to try out for basketball cheerleading; football cheerleading tryouts were 2 months ago. You have to be able to do a cartwheel, roundoff, the splitz, a toe-touch, and something that idk what it's called, but it's where you do a half toe-touch but with the other leg, you bend it up if anyone knows what i'm talking about? So far I can do the splitz alright, but I can't do a cartwheel or roundoff at all and i can't really do the jumps either. Does anyone have any advice for me?
sunshine...the.great.escape on 8/3/2008 11:52:03 PM
MOD/ GIRLS** My cat won't stop coughing and sneezing! idk what to do for her, & it's making me really sad. She's only 2 or 3 years old, so it's not like she's an old cat. What's wrong with her? What can I do for her?
sunshine...the.great.escape on 8/4/2008 12:06:09 AM
HELP hey girls, i kind of have an emotional problem. you see, i have a pretty big crush on a guy who's in another state, and i only see him once a year. and since i miss him so much, and that i wish he was here, i always feel like crying because he's not here. and what makes things worse is that, he's the only guy on this planet that actually looks at me as attractive... and doesn't follow me in the girls bathroom (i can tell. it's in his smile). but, what can i do to stop feeling so sad WITHOUT getting over him (trust me, that's not going to work). HELP, AND I KNOW IT'S NOT PMS CAUSE I'M ALMOST CRYING NOW AND MY PERIOD WAS TWO WEEKS AGO!!

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD ----------------------------------- im 13 but i only weigh about 68 pounds(thats how much it was the last time i weighed myself). my doctor doesnt think its a problem, or at least she hasnt said anything to me. also im about 4'8(last time i checked) so i guess that has something to do with it. so do u think this is a problem? and how can i gain weight? some ppl keep thinking im anorexic or something like that =[.
Hey babes your doctor would tell you if she thought something was wrong Stop concentrating on the number and just maintain a healthy lifestyle. xoxo JANA

MOD Today my family, friends, and I are going to a huge indoor water park that we reserved reservations for weeks ago, but just yesterday I got my period. My mom said I could still just go on the water slides (because you use tubes and it's only the second day, so it won't be heavy), but I'm worried. She won't let me use tampons and told me to wear a pad so that it will absorb, which doesn't sound like a good idea to me because it will get wet .. Is there any way I could prevent leakage in the water without using a tampon, or is it best I don't go on the slides at all?
Hey babes, a pad will nto work if you are in the water, it will blow up like a diaper. Use a tampon. Who knows how heavy your period would be? Its actually heaviest in the first few days. There is no way you will prevent leakage without wearing one

Im 13 but i weigh like 100 lbs. Dont worry bout' it! my bff's 13 and she weighs like 70.

MOD- i am a couple months till 13. i am type 1 diabtic for almost 7 years and i weigh 176. my doc says its mostly muscle, but still i am not comphy with myself. what do i do? i tried the healthy you program and it didnt work.

MOD! i like this boy and he likes me and hes gonna ask me out when school starts which is friday (!!!) and the problem is that he has cut himself before..he says he doesnt do it anymore and im just gonna have to believe him. but im scared that when i do go out with him im going to get a reputation for going out with people like him..should i not go out with him because or this or should i?
Hey babes, using the term "people like him" indicates that hes some kind of freak, which he isnt. People who cut have issues that they are going through but that doesnt make them weird or bad. Date him if you like him and dont worry about his past. xoxo JANA
lilybelle00 on 8/4/2008 9:48:52 AM
wow! im 14 and i weigh 95 and im 5'3 and i feel like im fat!
abercrombieobsessed on 8/4/2008 10:26:17 AM
lucky! i am 13 and i wiegh like 108. and im short, so it make me look fat. it really sucks.
JonasBrothers_lover4ever on 8/4/2008 10:35:17 AM
im like that. back in october, at my checkup my doctor said i was very underweight. believe me, i have never had any eating disorders. i eat so much its not even funny, lol. but at that time, i was 5'5 and 87 pounds. since then, i've grown 2 inches and i now weigh 100 pounds. im trying to get to 110. my advice to anyone is to be patient! you cant gain weight overnight just like that. try to set a goal, like "by christmas time, i want to weigh ____..." you'll get there, don't worry!

lucky charms- theyll understand. when you're at a sleepover with just your tightest buds, say "guys, i KNOW im bigger than you guys." it sounds like theyre really nice and they would never even call you names or think of you differently.
love wanted on 8/4/2008 11:02:21 AM
nickjonasrox- maybe sit her down and say "you've changed. i really miss the old nice you." if it doesnt work, try not to hang out with her at all, because usually that stuff rubs off on friends.
