I think I'm underweight?
I am 15 almost 16 years old, 5'3", 95 pounds. Im pretty skinny but I've seen other people who are skinnier. Ok anyways I've tried to gain weight but I never seem to move. It's always between 97 and 95 pounds. Is this normal? I eat meat, fruit, grain, junk food, rarely any dairy or vegetables. I can't stand green veggies.
I don't eat a little. I might finish 3/4 of my meals but I would eat junk food to make up for it. I still don't gain weight. It's been like this for almost 2 years.

It's probably genetic. I am 22 years old, 5'2" and 86 pounds but have the same problem; can't gain any weight. It actually started at the very age you are lol. If you are eating fine and feel fine then it's probably nothing to worry about.
If you feel sickly and weak then might want to see the doctor, however. Could be a parasite or other problem.
I'm 15 almost 16 years old and 5'3" also! Weird. But anyways I'm a gymnast and I weigh 107 with muscle. So I wouldn't think you're necessarily unhealthy or underweight especially is you eat a lot, you just probably have a really good metabolism! I mean being skinny like that at our age is really all every girl wants, so take advantage of it, every girl wants to be able to eat what ever with out worrying about what's going to happen to their body!
Just eat what you usually eat, if you don't gain any weight then that's a benefit to you, many girls would kill to be like you.
as long as you feel alright and eat healthy a lot of the times, I don't think it's a problem c: maybe you have fast metabolism? :D (I wish I do LOL)
you probably have a high metabolism. If your concerned talk to your parents and have them take you to see a doctor or dietitian.
