Just eat extra helpings. Thats all I need to do to gain weight. At dinner ask for 2 plates of spaghetti instead of 1, at lunch get two meals at school instead of 1 etc.
If you don't have a local gym I just reccomend doing the basics: push ups and sit ups. Dumb bells will help build your biceps too (triceps as well if you wish) if you have any over there, the heavier the better (as long as you can do at least 8 reps non stop).
This is just assuming you don't have much to work with, I had a local gym but most times I worked out at home when I was 14, but I got really buff that year fast, I was younger then and its way easier to get healthy/ buff as a younger person.
If you do have a gym and stuff like that, there's probably a ton more stuff you can do.
You shouldn't be lifting too heavy if you have acess to those type of weights because it could stunt your growth, I avoided all of that and I'm nearly 6'0 now, that'll be cool if I can grow taller but I'm probably done growing.

Lifting does not stunt your growth. Please do your research before you spout out stuff that is not true.
What does your intake look like now?
hey im right there with ya. Im14 years old and also about 5 foot 5. and i also need to get buff so yeah. hahahah
ill be watching this thread
Dont expect people to help you. If you give them nothing, I hope they give you nothing too.
This is terrible advice. How many obese kids do you see running around these days? A lot...Being young doesn't justify to eat everything in sight and become fat. If he eats too much, he WILL GET FAT. I've seen a ton of kids in their early teens take advice like this and become slobs by the time they're 16-17...
You should treat your body just like everyone else. Find out how many calories you eat to maintain your weight. Then add 500 calories a day to this number...You should gain 1lb a week. You will put a little fat on, but this is the best way to achieve results. Don't be stupid and eat everything in site.
Also, eat 1g of protein per LBM. This would be about 115g of protein a day for you. Do this and you should be fine.
Also, try to limit your sugar...Your young, so i understand you might want to enjoy some sugary beverages, but just monitor the calories.
My bad man, but it's true to an extent if you look it up. I had to learn about it in pe/ gym as a kid. They may have been exaggerating it though because the "stunted" people they showed us were very buff even at the age of 10-14.
my intake is cereal in the morning. and then when i get to school. i drink some milk. eat a sandwhich or a pizza. and when i come back from school i eat a snack. and whatever my mom makes for dinner.
are you saying that i dont give you enough information to work with. or i dont weigh alot. cuz i dont understand what you are trying to say.
Lifting most certainly can stunt your growth. Any hardening of the bone, whichh stress can do, will inhibit growth. There is a reason all gymnast are short. Of course\ they don't lift free weights, but they engage in resistance training all the time.
