55 pound yeah you runderweight
i has about 50 in fifth grade
and i'm not a "skinny girl"
put on heathy weight like muscles
eat your meat :)
glad to help

Honestly you sound like you are gain a few pounds if it bothers you. Don't do it for the people around you but do it for yourself.

i think u should put on a little wieght not to much just a lil meat on ur bones!!

do you eat properly? maybe go to the doctor and get your thyroid checked sorry they gotta draw blood, it will be OK, see if you can find a chart for weight ant height usually in the nurses office at school. if you feel underweight try to gain a few pounds be less active relax and you have fun.

i think as long as you are healthy and happy with your body you are fine!

I'm told I need to gain 20lbs... but I wont.

plus in 5th grade everyone is growing funny.... wait a few years, and you will normal out.

check your BMI (body mass index) online. That will tell you if you are around healthy.

but i've never seen you so idk

You're only in 5th grade, so its not any major problem. You're still growing. As long as you're eating properly and not obcessive over excersive then you're ok. If you're really worried, visit a doctor. My friend is underweight, but she's fine...its usually nothing to worry about..

Depends on how tall you are, but as long as you eating enough of the right foods and getting the proper nutrition I would not think you need to worry. You are still growing. Maybe you are just petite person. To many kids these days are overweight, so be happy!

how tall are you? if you're over 4 foot tall, then I'd say 55 pounds is too light.. 5th grade is a bit young to be on here though.. do your parents know you are talking to strangers on the internet?

Are you trying to lose weight to be this way or are you just natural thin? If its just natural then don't worry about it but if your making yourself this thin then theres really no need to. Your too young to be worrying about such silly things.

I weigh 65, I am in 5th, and people tell me I am underweight.
Even though I'm overweight! ;(

By the sounds of it, you havent hit puberty yet. Once you hit puberty, you will gain weight, and you probably wont like it lol

No you are not overweight, keep killing yourself with starvation until you are satisfied.

Hun some people are naturally slim but as long as you know you are eating well and you have no health problems i really wouldnt worry, i was a very petite girl at your age but still very healthy, i was just made that way, so just see that people are concerned but assure them that you eat a healthy diet and you are fit and well so they need not worry.
On the other hand if you are NOT eating well and regularily you may well be underweight and i would suggest giving in and putting on some weight for the sake of your health!!! Take care best of luck
