I'm 17 years old, 5'11, and 133 lbs. And today in gym class Everyone got their weight taken and their fat percentage from a scale (that you stand on). It said that I have a 2.5 bodyfat percentage. Is that right? It seemed pretty accurate for everyone else. The athletic people had 6-9%, and a lot of girls were around 20%, and the other guys had normally like 15%, but I had 2.5%.

Am I anorexic, or underweight??

It's not about your body fat,
You're 5'11 and just weight 133?
You're pretty underweight.

Try weight-lifting and having milkshakes or energy bars afterwards.
You seriously could use some muscular mass.

Are you well-toned, have an athletic build? I mean you're thin, and if you have toned muscles, then that means your fat level is really low. Too low isn't good though, so check with someone...

Don't do this. If your body fat is really that low, it could be dangerous to overwork your muscles. You need a certain amount of fat in your body. Check with someone first, cos 2.5 sounds too low..

Are you a girl or a guy? Look at the chart. 10% essential fat for girls, 2-4% for guys. Dropping below this number is a really bad idea.

I don't have a six pack or anything, but I'd say I'm average. I try to do around 100-200 situps a night, but I usually skip a day once and a while because I get tired after work. I don't eat very little or anything. I eat normal portions at normal times. Sometimes I have a salad for lunch because I don't usually like the school's normal lunch. Oh, and I don't eat breakfast, but I never have.

You're pretty thin, it's not overly thin though.

being underweight doesnt make you anorexic. theres alot more to it than that.

youre underweight, but not by heaps.
if youre happy with the way you are then it doesnt really matter.
