Just because your friends say you look thin, doesn't mean you're anorexic, the average weight for a 14 year old is 6 - 8 stone, you have to remember that there is BMI, Without knowing your height ill not be able to work out your weight, but you should know it is more dangerous for a girl to be underweight at your age than what it is to be overweight because you are still growing.

But if you're looking to put on weight without the sugary, fatty foods. try eating pastas, potatoes, nuts and rice - this will give you the energy needed and well, eat 6 small meals a day.
