Wow, thanks everyone for taking their time with me, didn't expect responses so quickly.

To answer some of the questions, Yes I have always been this thin. Never been over 110 - 112 lbs.  During my younger years like around 13 years and under, I was thin but not underweight like I am now because I was a short guy. When puberty hit, I started to get some decent my height but my weight never caught up.

My daily meals are fairly small. I just feel too full too quick... and then I won't really feel hungry later, so I'm always feeling like I'm forcing myself during the day. For breakfast today I had a glass of milk (3.25% fat, not sure if that's the one I should be going with) with some of Ovaltine mix with it. 2 slices of bread with margaraine, 2 small brownies, and a few slices of pineapple. I know that's probably nothing near enough, yet I still feel full.

Well, I'm from South America, so what my mother usually cooks is usually rice with something on top. Mostly we have it with curry (usually with chicken, but sometimes pork or some red meat) She never cooks pasta or anything like that so if I ever want stuff like that I'll have to make it myself. I hardly ever cooked, so I guess now would be a good time to give it a shot.

My family doesn't really eat the stuff that I'll be needing to help put on weight, so it looks like I'll have to do some separate groceries myself. Only fruits I'm use to eating are watery tropical fruits like pineapple, papaya and such.

I have only one food allergy I'm aware of and unfortunately its to nuts. Well, not all of them, I still can eat peanuts and almonds fine, only those two though, not sure if they also are good for me...

Support wise, meh not really much. There's a special girl in my life, same height and a little more weight than me (friends like to point that out almost every day at school) I know they are only joking and don't mean anything by it, but I still would like to live without it y'know. Me and her have only been together a few weeks but I know she'll help me out with this. That's basically it, my girlfriend along with some close friends.

My mom has one of those magic bullet blenders that she doesnt use so maybe I can use that to make some shakes with bananas and peanut butter and what not. Not sure how to make them good for myself but I've been told I can pack alot of cals into them. Also been told to try to chew more before I swallow, then I won't feel full as quick, don't know how much that'll work but I guess every little bit helps.

Well, I'm off to the store. The scale I have at home is broken and I think that would be an important tool to track my progress. Thanks again for all the help you guys.
