Hi Ellie, People are always quick to comment on whether someone is thin or fat in our society. It seems we always want to label people one way or another. As long as you're healthy, and your family/doctor agrees, ignore what everyone else says.

I am a 12 year old, and am almost underweight, but not quite. All through my life, until abouth 6 grade, i was pretty much on the upper side of average. Now people tell me that I look skinny and are always commenting on how skinny I am now. Why did this happen?

HI Cashmere,

The best person to ask about this is your doctor - he/she will know best what the right weight is for your height.

Hi Fi-fi, Your exact weight depends on your height and genetics. Your doctor is the best person to ask this question to.
