How old/male/female?: Hard to answer that question without more info, like the above and, are you still in puberty? Parents' heights? Many people are naturally very thin and healthy. Others have health problems which can interfere in growth and development. Which are you? If you don't know if your thinness is healthy, please see your doctor for an evaluation.
