What Could Cause Skinny Build?
Hi , I m a fourteen/fifteen year old boy and the bones on my upper back seem to stick out. They kinda look like wings. But I m not sure what to do , like maybe its cos I m growing or maybe because I have a naturally skinny build? I m clueless , and really worried

hi,
thank you for providing the brief history of you.
A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised.
As you are finding bony appearances in the back you need not to worry. Since you are skinny this is the normal morphological development. You can consume more of the protein and do regular workout as this will imporve the muscle fibres growth and also bulk in muscles.
Nothing much serious to worry. Just eat well and stay healthy.
