How to gain a few pounds?

Im 13 years old, my height is 5.0 and I only weigh 88 pounds. I get really tired of people calling so skinny. And at times I just feel anorexic. But I eat all the time! I don't have any eating disorder, nothing like that. I have a really high metabolism. Is there any way to gain weight? My goal is to at least weigh 95 pounds.

Update:

Am i bit underweight???

    Maybe you are a few pounds underweight. Since you eat all the time you will eventually gain weight.

    Since you are only 13, you need to be patient since it may take a few years to gain the weight.

    I can bet you, if you continue to eat the way you have been doing- you will be at least 95 pounds by the time you are 16 or 17. They used to say 100 pounds is the average weight for an adult who is 5 feet tall. A 13 year old can weigh less and you do.
