Too slim?

Hey..
I'm 15 years old boy and I've got a problem. I am 176cm high and weight 62kg. I look really slim compared with my school mates. They are all good looking while you can see some bones on the front of my chest. I think I am well built: I train volleyball, and got well built muscles but they don't even look OK on my body
The thing is I don't know if I'm even attractive to girls - girls hug my friends from time to time and I get a stupid handshake..
I eat like crazy, I do exercises for muscles but I'm still slim. Is there any way I can make things better?

Best Regards

Slim, you probably aren't to thin. I think i am to fat! When I know that I am not, because I only weigh 105ibs. My friends tell me all the time I am not fat, and that I am like the skinniest gurl the've ever met! You should ask someone what they think about your body, probably should be a girl, see what they say. I bet you arn't even tooo slim. If you still think you are there are skake mixes you can take to biuld muscle.

Have you been thin all of your llife?

Hey.. I guess your friends are saying your fat in joke since you weight 105 lbs (47 kg right?) but I don't know your height. My friends tell me I'm slim and not in joke. And yes I've always been slim but didn't care till 1 year ago - that's when I started building my muscles.

Best Regards

No, My friends don't tell me I am fat, they tell me I am too skinny. I am really skinny, but I think I am fat! I dont know why though! I tell myself all the time I am skinny but I cant convience myself.

in the amrican metric system you are 5'7 and at 136 pounds.

i am not expert in diet or anything but i suggest, stop exercisesing, and eat fatty type food, let the fat build up, in your body and you chest, then go back to working out

but to me, you sound just fine, i am 5'10 and at 160 pounds

if you have too fast of a metablism to do that, then get the shake mix (or how ever they come) that helps you build up fat

oneguyinohio agrees: amrican metric system?? You mean american measurement system, not metric

I think it is probably genetic. I was 6 foot and 115 pounds at your age.

Now my weight is double that. It only took 20 years... of good food?

Just have to be happy with who you are... work on being healthy and happy, and relaxed around the girls... Probably the responses you get from them are more about your relaxed personality or comfort level around them than physical appearance.

If you get offered a handshake when they hug someone else, say "hey, forget that I want a hug too..."

You probably just have a high metabolism, like I do. I can eat and eat and I will never gain a pound (or in your case, a kilogram).

Hey.
Thanks for all of your replies!
Just wanna know what a shake mix is? And is there anything where you can find normal weight compared in height at my age - a some kind of program or a webpage. Or is there a way I can calculate this on my own?
Thanks again
Best Regards

Children First for Health - Teens - Health - Healthy eating - Your weight and BMI - Find your BMI

Here is a child BMI site. Important things to note about this is muscle weighs more than fat so a high BMI in an athlete is often misleading. Teen and kids BMIs are compared to percentage of other people in their age group to determine what is probably overweight/underweight. You can also find growth charts to help you - I used to know a great site for this but I can't find it anymore .

Here is one you have to work out yourself
Growth Charts - Body Mass Index for Girls
But you will see you are in the healthy range! Bang on the 50th percentile- that's the thick line in the middle.

If you are still worried about your weight go see a doctor and they can refer you to a nutrionist to help you gain weight healthy withour resorting to just eating loads of fatty foods ect.

Fuzzy sharing time- I used to get picked on for the same thing. People seem to think it is alright to make fun of somebodie's weight if they are thin. Of course it isn't- sometimes it helps to point out you aren't commenting on their weight perhaps they should stop mentioning yours. This tends to work quiet well with proper friends. As for other girls try not to let it get to you. Not everybody is the same and you don't have to try and fit some statistiaclly average body shape to have a happy healthy life. There is always variation.
Good luck
