how to get skinny?!?!?!?

I'm 15, 4 '11 and 96 pounds. That's WAAAYYYY too much and it's disgusting and ugly to the point where I'm really upset with myself and I hate myself and can't wear a bikini without feeling awful and compare myself to skinnier people. I haven't had any major growth spurts at all. I had my first period at 12 and a half years old but I've never had any growth spurts in puberty which makes me so mad. I'm either gonna have to get taller so I even out, or lose weight, not too much maybe 10 pounds. how to get skinnier?!? And I eat , don't worry, I'm not anorexic lol. but seriously, how can I get a flat stomach and get skinnier and lose those 10 pounds?!

    I'm the same height and around the same weight as you. Don't sweat it. You're already skinny. You may look a bit chubby around the thies or the tummy area like I used to. If you do, you should do plenty of bicycle crunches and lunges. You should also try taking some vitamins in tablets. My mom used to be 4'11 like me but she started taking vitamin tablets and she's now 5'2. Also try doing some stretching and yoga and gymnastics. It really does stretch your legs out a lot to grow taller. I was 4'9 but then I started doing all of these things now I'm 4'11 (except for the vitamin thing but if I would have i would have grown more).
