Answer #1

yes you are underweight but untill your parents see you eating more and making an affort to gain weight then theyll keep pestering you! your parents and ect are concerned about. they care about you and your health. and your health is the most important thing you have.

Answer #2

According to the weight chart below, you should weigh between 105 and 115 pounds, so I think you are underweight and probably skinnier than is healthy for you.

Maybe they are concerned about you. If they are, be happy. Some people don’t have family that care. As for your weight. Have you had a thyroid test done? Sometimes, if it’s off, it can cause you to be too skinny or too fat. I know cause I’m too skinny and I’m working on trying to gain. Remember this, it’s much better to haver an overprotective family, than one that doesn’t care, or worse yet, to not even have a family at all. Thank your lucky stars. Well, Good luck to you.

thank you guys so much for all the really good advice, like I know I am not as normal weight, but I can promise you I am not anorexic. But how do I tell them to STAY AWAY. I have literally tried everything, be nice and ask them, yell, everrryytthinnnggg. PLEASE.

Answer #5

Your weight is dangerously low. Please talk to your parents about seeing a doctor.
