Start looking for a rabbit or another varmint. look closely at some of your leaves, you can tell it is an animal with teeth and not insects. I suggest cages around the plants or spray with some hot pepper water mixture to make the plants a bit less tasty.
Are they getting enough light? Seems like a lot of stretching between nodes too.

honestly i dont think it gets enough light. i wasnt expecting it to do as well as it has. i just threw a seed in some soil and let it do its thing. my backyard is fenced in, so i dunno what kind of animal it could be. but i do have pepper plants and they are getting eaten too. but my tomato plant looks fine

Looks like grasshopper and I have not found anything to keep them away, just have to keep a good eye out for them, than kill the F$%#%^%ers. Yes it will get some taller. And I have never had grasshoppers eat any buds just the leaves.

Yeah try Neem oil, I've had a problem with grasshoppers also and Neem oil seems to help (it's some stinkin' shit lol).

Only insect probem I ever get is damn grasshoppers. I spray with a soap/garlic infusion - gets rid of the bastards - don´t know if it kills them but they clear off.
