Is it a bad thing that I am 5'7, 100 lbs and 15 years old?

Some people that i know were making fun of me today saying that i look like i am anorexic. They were like "don't you ever eat fast food?" I just can't eat fast food or meats other than seafood. I always end up getting a really bad stomach ache. I still eat constantly but just mostly vegetables. I don't know i think i am at a healthy weight. My doctors aren't shocked by my weight they just said i should watch it.

You're a little thin. I'm you're height and 117 ish and I get that all the time.
Fast food is gross. But maybe you do need some more fat in your diet. Avocados, lean meats, fish, slower burning carbs. Higher protein and fiber.
All of that shouldn't make you feel bad. But I know the feeling. I hate when people start with the eating disorder stuff.

I don't think you can really tell i'm that thin just by looking but when people see me change in the locker room they all stare and ask me what happened. And i just hate it when people do that to me, that's just my body type.

Then you're fine. If its what you are you shouldn't worry. In time you'll probably gain some, but maybe not.
People are just stupid though. Probably jealous.

i understand that. i stopped eating McDonald's for a little over a year and was desperate enough to eat it last week. ugh! worst stomach ache. its good you eat the way you do! fish is great for your health and veggies are great also! don't worry about them bitches. dem bitches jealous

it's a bit strange that you can't eat "heavy meats"
As long as you have energy during the day I'm sure it's okay. Just keep your eye on it and try to keep it above a number you feel comfortable with.

if people still bug you just tell them you can't gain weight.

If you're eating on a regular basis and eating decent food there's nothing wrong with your weight. If your doctor's are voicing concerns you could ask to see a dietitian.

They said if I grow another inch and don't gain anything I should be more worried and i'm already almost 5'8 :/

There could be a medical reason why you're so thin, wouldn't hurt to check it out. If your body fat is too low it can cause other health issues. At your age I was 5'9 and 125 lbs, not far off but I had a body fat of 14% natural because of Athletics. I'd keep checking in with your doctor and ask to see a dietitian or nutritionist. Good luck to you :)

Don't feel bad. One of my best friends (a guy) is basically a noodle. He's all skin and bones. Plus weirdly flexible. He weighs 98 pounds and is 5'8" so do not feel bad.
BLAME METABOLISM!

[Asker]

high metabolism sucks sometimes but other times it can be helpful, like Thanksgiving...

[nert73]

Haha yeah then you're lucky. But otherwise, it usually makes you look like a noodle like my friend.

You'll put on weight eventually, don't stress it if you are eating right.

As long as you're taking care of yourself and your doctors are monitoring you it's obviously not a bad thing.

Holy shit that weight is elite if you have a small frame. Ignore the jealous fatties :D

They probably say you should watch it because you probably are close to being under wieght but that's not bad as long as you don't go much under 100

That's a little underweight
