My son is 16 years old and weighs around 110 lbs. He recently hit puberty, but he has been small his whole life. I am wondering whats up because he eats normally but still remains so so small. I dont know what i should do

The majority of teens have no reason — medical or otherwise — to try to gain weight. An effort like this will at best simply not work and at worst increases body fat, and may put your son at risk for health problems.

He should instead focus on growing strong ... not gaining weight. Keeping his body healthy and fit so that it grows well is what's most important. I did find some website which might help you .... check them out!
