Am I underweight, people think im anorexic?!!?

Hi, im 13, I am 5ft, 1in tall and weigh exactly 100lbs.

At school people say that I am anorexic. I am not. I eat and do not regurgitate my food.

Sometimes I skip lunch at school and eat when I get home (usually because I had a large breakfast, was not hungry, or did not know they were serving that food and I don't like it.)

I need to know if I am underweight. Even when guys tickle me they say "DANG! Youre skinny!"

    some people are just jealous of your fast metabolism. And when guys say it its meant as a complement.

    no you're not anorexic. yes you are on the skinny side but if u eat right and enough then its not unhealthy. im like u, i weigh 110 and im 5ft 7in. ppl think im underweight and anorexic too but i dont let it bother me cuz i know im not anorexic. just dont let it bother u. you are actually not underweight because ur BMI is 18.9 which is 0.4 above the cutoff for underweight. so ur normal. yay!

    you're not underweight. youre just fine. dont listen to people that say your anorexic. just tell them that it really bothers you when they say stuff like that. its fine, your not underweight. I would suggest you eat regularly. it might effect your health if you skip lunch. even tho youre still eating to make up for lunch, its better for your health if you eat at certain times. next time, get something out of the vending machine. dont make that a habit tho becuz vending food has a lot of calories, carbs, and sugar.

    You are not anorexic at all and you are not even underweight unless your weight drops down below 95 lbs.
