I agree with this entirely! I'm also very skinny, (96 lbs, 5"1') and I'm always told I eat like a bird, that I have no boobs, and people will poke my bones. I've even gone to the doctor but I'm completely healthy according to her (even had my blood tested!)
I'm so sorry you've been made fun of. It's still unacceptable if someone is being teased at for just being skinny. Yes, I think society thinks that bullying someone because they are skinny is "acceptable". It's not, and I'm sorry you have to be put through this :(
95 pounds? Depending on your age and height, it can be underweight.
I'm not skinny, but all of my pants require me to wear belts! I've just lost so much weight over the last several months. So, I understand how you feel, and it suuucks butt X(
I'm 5'4'', soo, I guess 95 is normal.
I blame it on my high metabolism (IDK if I already mentioned it before), It's like, I'm a pig and eat a bunch of stuff, but yet I don't gain anything in return. Most people would say that I'm lucky, but having a high metabolism is annoying! It makes you hungry all the time!
Hmm, I'm guessing that when I get older my metabolism will wear off and I'll probably regret complaining about it now. :')
SAME HERE 100%. Although I wouldn't consider 95 lbs underweight just depending on your age. It should be more about your BMI, but ya probably already know that.
It is annoying when people say that sort of thing, although I sort of like it. Makes me feel like that's who I am. Which is probably a terrible thing. But what bothers me the most is when they say that I am not a 'normal' person. That my body is not 'normal'. And the people who tell me this are the ones who are unhealthily overweight. Before you start complaining about somebody else's body, look at yours. Which it's probably that they've looked at theirs and felt bad, so they think other people should feel bad too.
I know that feel.
I didn't start gaining weight till recently.
Through elementary, middle and high school, I was accused of having an eating disorder, ME! I could eat two pizzas all by myself and still ask for ice cream! But I never gained weight, I was really small and really skinny. I would eat the parts of lunches my friends wanted to throw away (cause I'm always worried about wasting). Still, someone would ask if I was anorexic (and seeing as I was the bottom of the social ladder, nothing I said would be taken seriously).
It should not be okay to yell at ANYONE for what they look like.
Also, for me the whole "You need to eat something." would be super annoying XD
I'd be like "I just had a whole pie!"

@Alchemic Mushroom:
Sometimes I eat like a bird and sometimes I'm a pig. It depends on my mood. I gotta wear belts with 90% of my pants.
