Is it normal to never gain weight?

Im 19 and have always been skinny. I've probably never weighed more than 115 in my life (sorry don't want to offend or make anyone mad) but I literally do nothing and eat all day, on top of that not even healthy food. I eat fat people food alott..fast food all that good stuff. And I don't even have a job right now. People tell me im too skinny and need to gain weight! Well I believe I've been taking the necessary steps for years now. And no I don't have any sort of eating disorders, I love food..is there maybe a reason I don't ever gain weight?

    You obviously have a high metabolism. You probably shouldn't take it for granted. Even skinny people can have clogged arteries.

    Naive child. Give it 10 years and see if you can still say this.

    I have the same problem. People are always trying to shovel food into you thinking and judging you on what is hard to change. Weight is a difficult thing to maintain for most people but I find it harder to gain and loose weight. It's not a bad thing to be skinny either as long as you keep yourself healthy. It is completely normal.

    At 115 lbs you're not too skinny in the slightest, so don't worry. I weigh a lot less than that and I rarely even get a chance to go to the gym, as I work too much - the majority of it being computer-orientated work, where I sit and chill all day.

    I've seen people weighing around 95-100 lbs and still being super healthy.

    Keep in mind that you should always eat healthily and keep your exercise regime up, as it'll catch up to you before you know it. A young person's metabolism is generally higher than that of an older person, so be thankful you currently don't have to put much work in to stay at a decent weight.

    Fast metabolism. When I read this, it was as if I were reading about myself. I'm 19 also, and I weigh 115 pounds, and I eat not the healthiest food, and a lot of it. Sometimes I worry though, that one day my metabolism is gonna slow down. Its normal though.

    Ug! I hate you. No, not really. Someday though it will catch up with you. Like the above poster said, careful of the fatty foods. They will hurt your arteries.
