Hi, my name is Timmothy and im 15 and weigh 70lbs. I am 5ft 2" and hate it when i look in the mirror. I work out but you can still see my ribs when i lift my arms. I look like a white walking skeleton. Kids pick on me at school, and i get so mad, and it gets even worse when i know i cant do anything about it. I try to play it off, sometimes it works, but everyone knows i can't defend myself. My parents dont know how i feel because i haven't had the courage to tell them. I eat so much, and i still dont gain wight. I havent grown since 5th grade, and i get so upset when people remind me of it. People call me names and sometimes shove me into lockers. I never wear shorts because my legs are so skinny. People always tell me i am going to snap in half, and that i look like a pencil. Im the but of everyone's jokes. The teachers can tell whats going on and ask me abaout it, but i am too ashamed to say anything. Can someone please help me, i would be forever greatfull. I cant stand being like this, and i get even more angry when i think of hopw i will turn out in the future. Please help me. Email me at chromedout6989@yahoo.com or post here.
I wish i could

Start eating a lot of meat and protein. Try fish if you don't like it that is not a big deal. You need to start working out with resistance atleast. Try doing free weights and stretching too. When you are skinny streching till it hurts really helps build your muscles I learned when i used to be skinny like you say.
I think your solution lies first in the psychological aspect, rather than the physical.
If you can build your self confidence it wil make the world of difference. I know this is hard though.
I would say that when you are 16/17 you should start working with heavy weights and eat LOADS. Bont dont push too hard when you are young- its not worth injring yourself over.
For the moment, keep active with sports and make sure your colorie intake covers your expenditure. For example, if you are burning 3000 calories a day and only consuming 2000, that means you are wasting away!
take some time to work out how many calories are in the meals you eat, and how many you would burn on average.
In a year or so the hormone spurt should help you out!

Hey Tim,
My name is Matt and I am suffering from the same thing, but I must agree with Xander you will see a growth spurt in th next year or so. I am 17 now and have deffinetly grown since I was 15.
I really don't have any professional advice to give you except just stay with whatever you are doing because you will see results.

Yeah, I really agree with xander. I am pretty sure that is more of a psychological aspect rather then physical. You need that self-confidence to work toward your goal. I am 15 too. You really got eat high protein foods such as fish and meat. On top of this, you should probably being taking Whey Protein for enhancement. I highly recommend it for someone fo your size. Taking in a supplement and eating high-protein foods will cause your body to want more of it. You will sort of develop an addiction for meat and such. This is the same with nicotine found in cigarettes. At first, your body will reject the nicotine for example. Later on, your body will find out that it craves nicotine and absolutely needs it. Thats how they get addicted! Don't worry, not such severe cravings will occur. In addition to this, you MUST be working out. You must make a committment to go 2-3 times a week. My schedule consists of Monday-Wednesday-Friday-And rarely Sunday. You should also be doing weight training specifically. Heavy weight, less reps. Remeber to look on the bright side of things. It's better to be skinny then fat and live a life full of health problems and such. Keep at it!
