Answers:
It depends how tall you are... for that weight, your healthy BMI would be for a height between 4'1" and 4'9". If you're taller than 4'9", you're underweight. Make sure you eat healthy to grow tall and strong!! 13 is too young to start worrying about your weight. This is the crucial time to eat well and be healthy. Good luck in everything!
yes you do need to eat more.
eat A BIT more
you seriously need to eat more.at least u need to gain 10-14 more pounds...
its pretty normal. you just have a smaller body build than some people. when you start growing more you will start to weigh more
It depends on how tall you are. Ur prolly anorexic.
It all depends on your height. Also, you may have a really high metabolism. Just ask the doc the next time you are there, and he/she will be able to point you in the right direction.
It depends on how tall your are. My doctor told me, if your at 100 pounds, add 5 pounds 4 every inch. So, if your 5 feet, 4 inches, that's not normal. Go see a doctor if your really concerned.
you weigh a lil bit more than me and im a 13 year old girl so yea lol
do you need help.do you have an eating disorder or something? no offense.but if you healthy theres nothing you can do about it just keep living life maybe you were just made that way
depends on your height if you are any were between 5'5 and 6'0 you should be in the hundreds
How tall are you. When I was 13 I was five feet 7 inches tall and weighed 130 lbs. If I remember right .
Well im 12 and 86 so ya i think we should both eat more.Mabye we could have an eating party. Um no if you have a good mataabilisim than ur fine but everybody gains weight at there own time. Just let it chill 4 a while
well thats to skinny eat fattier food but it also depends on how tall you are
dude if you are only 4' tall you are over weight, man who cares you will bulk up maybe depends on your system maybe you will always thin so what as long as you are healthy
eat more you should gain about 30 to 35 pounds
Ummm... I'm not sure. It depends on how tall you are. If you tell me how tall you are, I'll tell you on your comment board, since I'm only aloud to answer this question once. :)
check with your dietician. eat the right food and exercise.eat less
many boys have this problem
you have a fast metabolism apparently

try taking a protein suppliment [powder that you just add into a drink]
drink plenty of water while take the suppliment

don't pack on junk food, you won't be happy with how your body look in a couple of years
Age doesn't matter... you should have a normal height to weight ratio. take this Body mass index test... http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/...
good luck!
Do you feel good? Do you have good energy? If the only concern you have is that your sister and you think you are too skinny then don't worry about it. As long as you eat as much as you want and it is fairly balanced then you are probably okay. You are at a place where soon you will start growing again and will be eating you folks out of house and home and then you will gain some weight and grow taller. If you Mom or your doctor were concerned then they would do something about it...right?
You just have an incredibly high metabolism. I have a couple friends with that. I told them to eat and drink a lot of protein...it balanced one of them out, but the other just has too high of a metabolism.
you probally need to eat a little bit more but also try to eat more fatty foods the average 13 year old is 110 pounds
yes you need to eat more. eat a big mac or something to gain a little weight. you should at least be in your 100's maybe around 105-115. Good luck and eat some more to gain some weight. =) -Kasey
It just depends on how tall you are. There is alot of 13 yrs old that weigh about that much. I dont know about you but if you work out then you might end up gaining more weight because you might eat more. Well that's how the kids around here do it. I am 17 and about 5'2" and only weighed 100 when i started working out i gained weight and look alot better now i dont look sick and i finaly made it to 110 pounds. well hope you figure out what you want! :)
These people are so stupid, im 14 and last year i weighed about the same thing, now im like 110. you just have a fast metabolism. Soon youll hit a growthspurt and gain a bunch of weight. Good luck =)
Do not try to maek you'reself fatter because you will damage you're metabolism, eventually during puberty you will put on alot of weight if ou try to rush this you may end up being overweight with weight problems. 1,000,000 other teenage boys would die to be as skinny as you
well it does depend on how tall you are but if you are over 5' tall you sould be over or about 100lbs. (muscle) you don't wanna be fat. I'm 13 going on 14 aswell and if you are tall and only weigh 85 that might look a little sickly. so eat right and exercise. Muscle weighs more than fat and takes up less room. You can still look thin and weigh more.
Well dear maybe thats the way god wants you to be, I know a 7 year old that is 110lbs. Does he need to lose weight?
You have a fast metabolism, Try cutting back a little and your body will adjust from expecting food on a day to day basis bit if you cut back your body will store more because it wont suspect the next time you eat so cut way down and watch the pounds go on.
