Help! Am I underweight?
I'm 14 years old and 5 feet tall. I weigh about 92 pounds. Everyone tells me I'm underweight and I'm not healthy for growing. I'm so afraid that I won't grow because I'm too light. I don't even look like a "stick!" My weight in person looks completely normal-not too skinny and not wide. What the heck should I do? Should I cram food in my mouth? I'm so worried!! HELP!

I'm 13, 5' 4" and 85... I'm not even underweight!! I'm i don't look like a stick AT ALL either! You're ok, as long as your eating enough, then you were just made to be little, like me :) don't worry about it
Well,
Considering that I am 13 and I weigh about 105 pounds, and my doctor tells me that I am of a healthy weight,
I think that you're okay.
I admit, it's a little bit lighter and shorter than people your age.
Don't worry about it.
As long as you are eating healthy (Half of your plate should be fruits/veggies, 1/4 dairy, and 1/4 meat) you should be fine.
Don't cram food into your mouth, because a larger number on the scale doesn't necessarily mean more healthy.
If you're very worried, consult your doctor ;)
But the average person doesn't know too much about health,
So random friends from school shouldn't be telling you that you're unhealthy.
Somewhat. It doesn't really matter if you're overweight or underweight, as long as you are healthy and eating right. As long as you aren't starving yourself you should be fine. I used to be pretty skinny too but I then I joined a sports conditioning program that pushed me and I just started naturally eating more. As a result I gained more weight and muscle.
