Hmm...
I'm not skinny and if my friends ever made fun of my weight that wouldn't be cool at all. Tell them how you feel and tell them that you would appreciate it if they would stop teasing you because your feelings are getting hurt. If they don't respect your wishes, honestly they aren't true friends and you need to find new ones... Friends are supposed to be there for you and not care what you look like. They should only care about how great a person you are. Good luck, hope the teasing comes to an end.

SAME Problem.
I know how you feel, exactly. Tt bugs the crap out of me--my friends tease me, and some people are downright nasty about it. I had two girls, who I dislike VERY much now, comment and accuse me of being anorexic. They kept pushing it on me, or asked if I had an eating disorder. Just tell them how you feel about the situation, and tell them what it does to your self-esteem. I had to do it, and I hear a lot less about it now. Be happy that people think you're skinny, and be proud of your body. Don't let anyone get you down. <3

This is my opinion
I'm not a fat girl but I'm definitely not skinny. My assumption would be that they are jealous. Like many girls said, all you need to do is take time out when you're alone together to tell them about it. Don't attack, and don't do it at the wrong time. Explain to them that you don't like it and how it makes you feel. I can almost guarantee you they will stop. :-)

Being skinny isn't all it's made out to be...
Definitely talk to them about it. You don't sound like you hate the weight you are, but the fact that they talk about it bothers you. People always tell me they wish they were as skinny as I am, but I tell them that it's rough being so small. Talk to them about it and hopefully you can get your point across.

I have the same problem
Some of my friends aren't mini but they arent fat either. I, on the other hand, barly weigh 100 lbs. They sit there and complain about their weight & call me fat all the time as a joke. Honestly, it really doesn't bother me except when they are complaining about themselves and then talk about how I'm almost anorexic or how I'm too skinny.
Since it obviously bothers you, tell them it does. If outright telling them to stop is too hard or doesn't work, try a different aproach. Next time they say you're skinny, change the subject. If your friend says that you aren't too fat, say, "Yeah but I wish I had some curves like you," or somethin like that. Then change the subject. Remember, they are just insecure about their own bodies.

I'm Experienced
I'm kinda thick and both of my friends are slim. They would talk about wearing bathing suits, short skirts and stuff like that and I would not relate to that because I'm not thin. So what I did was sit them both down and we talked about it. I told them that I didn't feel comfortable when they talked about being slim and stuff like that--so they felt were I was coming from. They only talked about being slim on their own time. Maybe that's what you should do. Take your friends and tell them that if they can't accept you for who you are then maybe you're hanging with the wrong group of people.

Myself
Well, being super slim myself, I just learned that the more people say about me and the more I can tolerate it, the more it builds self-confidence. Whenever somebody tells you you're anorexic or too skinny, just remember this advice: I love who I am and I love my body.

Skinny is the way you are. Tell your friends to respect it!
Skinny is the way you are. Tell your friends to respect it! Tell them you can't help being skinny & it's not funny to tease you. But before you do that think about the jokes they make, is it really that mean? If it's not, then maybe they're just trying to make you laugh. If it is mean, then tell them.

Been there...
A lot of my skinny friends used to tell me all the time: you need to lose weight. And one of my friends used to say, "Hi Fat" instead of "Hi Lilly." I put up with it for a while, and that just made me feel worse. So one day I told myself the next time they say something about my weight I'm going to stand up for myself. So I did. I yelled at them. I told them that they have no right to comment on my weight.
They didn't ditch me. I told them that if they were going to keep picking on me, we couldn't be friends. To this day they don't say anything about my image. We're still just as good as friends but better. I've got more cofidence around them. I feel more respected by them! You should stand up for yourself too! It feels good!
