alright, I dont make myself throw up or starve myself for days on end but when I'm at home alone, or really just during days im not doing anything, I dont eat. i have no real motivation to do so. i mean i get hungry, but i cant find something appetizing to eat or im just to lazy to eat anything.
opinions, eating disorder or not?

It doesn't sound bad enough to be one tbh. It could be some type of disorder. Maybe if your not doing anything you just don't have the non-stop appetite that most teens (like me) get whatever the occasion.
If you were like..out at school or spent a day doing stuff, would you feel like this?
Or is it only when your at home doing nothing?

It could just be that you don't need as much energy as others. Sounds silly even as I type this.
Maybe you just don't eat like others do, not everyone has a huge appetite and eats all the time, not all teens are the same. Are you quite thin?
It could run in the family.

Could be. Mostly 'bigger' people tend to eat more. I honestly have no idea. I'm just throwing ideas around, and there not very good ones.
To be honest, I think it may be best, if your worried that is, to see your GP (Doctor) about it. Just ask for a weigh, a bmi test thing, and see what he/she says. It may be nothing, and to be honest I don't think its much to worry about.
Girls your age worry sooo much about how they look and what they eat. I haven't met one girl that thinks she's thin or the right size.
I hope I made some sense in my bablings.

Quoted for truth!
Typically, this doesn't sound like an eating disorder to me. However, if you're concerned about your lack of appetite then maybe you should seek a GP's advice.
Other than that, I think Joe covered most of it. :)

I used to not eat a lot until I started smoking Marijuana, munchies! I'm not telling you to smoke Marijuana but it has only a few harmful effects, including; short term memory loss (If you are high when you study, you need to take the test high to remember) only when you are high, and more medical purposes, it might help your eating disorder.

In that case, I think it's best if you didn't mention the marijuana.

Well to me it doesnt sound like an eating disorder, it just seems like you need to get more food you prefer haha.. but you sound like the perfect weight so dont start starving yourself..
if you are worried however about you not really wanting to eat i would go and seek advice from your GP so they can put you on a health diet? xx
