Ok so I'm 5'8" and in August I was 127lbs. Ever since school started I've been gaining weight none stop and I don't know why! I weight 137lbs now and I'm freaking out! But the thing is I don't look any different physically. My friends couldn't believe I gained 10lbs and they said they couldn't tell. I can't either. But the scale doesn't lie cause I've tried a bunch. I've been eating healthier than I was in the summer and I've been exercising more. And it's not like I'm growing or anything, I've stopped growing years ago. Can anyone give me some advice on how to lose the weight? Or give me a reason why I'm gaining weight without looking like I gained weight?
Help! I'm gaining too much weight!

Your body sounds perfectly normal, and probably more appealing than those skinny as hell girls out there who are obsessed with thier weight. Once you've stopped growing and maturing, that's when healthy life habits are essencial if your absolutely insisting on being "skinny". Eat healthy (regaurdless), physical activity, etc. Don't worry about it you're perfectly normal. 1 more thing, I hate scales, so yeah I agree with atomize, throw out ur scales.
Relax.
Your body is still growing and developing for a few years. You're not an adult yet.
If you're eating well and exercising, there's not a problem if your weight changes slightly. And 10 pounds on a 5'8" body is a slight weight gain.
P.S. Throw out all your weight scales and never use them outside of a doctor's office. A weight scale is one of a woman's worst enemies. Health is not about a number.
You're probably developing still. That's normal. As long as you don't have a tire around your wasit and you're eating healthy and exercisng everything should be fine. Maybe you're getting more muscle mass or something scientific like that. Don't freak out I'm sure yo uloook fine. Don't be concerned with the number on the scale, it's how you look and feel.
