Does it seem like I'm anorexic?

I’m 13 years old and I’m 5’0 tall but I’m not even close to reaching 100 pounds everyone is saying that they wish they had my body and I personally like it too but I just feel a little pressured to gain more weight by my family and so all I want to know is if I’m anorexic.

Hi im 12 and 80 pounds im not anerexic and im 4’10 i eat 3 meals a day and dessert some people just dont weigh alot and they are still healthy if u dont feel dissy and you can still do athletis stuff like sports and running you are not anerxic and if u were so skinny it was a health problem ur stomich would swell up because it wasnt getting enough food

Answer #2

Like kay said, being skinny is not an eating disorder. People with anorexia actually do not eat in an effort to lose weight. Sometimes the anorexia gets so bad that people can have serious health issues because of it. It can even be fatal. If you’re just naturally skinny, but you do eat, then don’t worry about it. A lot of people are skinny at your age. Some of them stay skinny, but most of them start putting on weight in their teenage years.
