Why do I look so thin?
Hello, I'm 15 years old, 1.60 meters tall, and weigh 56 kilograms. Although I weigh quite a bit for my height, I still look very thin. At school, everyone tells me I should eat more, and many think I only weigh about 45 kilograms. I know I don't mean that in a bad way, but I feel too thin. I'd like to gain weight, but the scales tell me I'd already be overweight if I gained 5 kilograms. The scales seem to be accurate, as I weighed myself at the doctor's, and my height is correct, too. I don't exercise and have never exercised.
