ANSWER: Could you tell me how tall you are? It is  really hard to find what your body proportions should be without your weight, age, and height.

QUESTION: im 5 foot 7 inch

Answer
First of all, your friends are right. You are under weight for your height and age. This is something that you want to talk to your doctor about, they can give you a specific diet that you should follow to reach a healthy weight. I'm sorry this is not my best subject, you should definitely ask your doctor about this, and take a look at this web site. It may help. Let me know if i can help with anything else.
