Answer #1

Don’t worry about everyone else - some people are just naturally thin. I know a girl who is a size 2 and she eats like a pig.

As for your teachers getting into it - they’re concerned, and with the way teens these days are always trying to be thinner, they have good reason. Try not to take offense and tell them that you have a high metabolism.

Answer #2

I have the exact same problem, same weight same age and I swear I’m not even exactly a size 4. let me know if you get any advice fau.
