Hi im 16 i weigh 55 and im 172cm ive always had this insecurity about my weight an that i was skinnier than others but the past year or so its been really hard to ignore since i have a girlfriend now and all the time i have this fear where what if someone stronger or older than me does something to her how will i be able to defend her and to be a man does it always have to be physical fights and for example say some guy flirts with her he is much stronger than me what if i dont like get in a fight or something then i end up feeling like a coward and that i failed her

@meemzooo - I assume you mean 55KG (120LB)... going to the gym to workout can let you bulk up unless there are reasons you can't get to a gym.  Even doing exercises at home can build muscle.  Defending your girlfriend does not have to mean physical confrontation.  You can defend with words and walking away with her from the bully.  When was the last time you were in a situation where another man flirted with your girlfriend?  You might be fearful of an imagined scenario that will rarely happen.  Our minds can have a negative bias: think positively.  Good luck.
