Maybe. But again, you're a teen, so you could very well be healthy. You need to calcuate your BMI to find out.

totally normal! although, the standards in america aren't that great. you're at a good weight. you're not underweight, you're just skinny. my sister is around 5'2, and she only weighs 75 lbs, and she's in a good health conditionl. i'm 5'7, and i weigh115 lbs. you're right on target, if u ask me:D personally, i think that everbody and body is different, and some people can weigh a lot, but they don't show it, because it might all be in muscles. not to mention that a doctor is always able to give you a check-up and help you learn what your goal weight should be. the important thing is HOW YOU FEEL. if you feel good, then you're right on target:D

When I was 21 I stood 5'2 1/2" tall and my weight was 89 lbs. Its not that I didnt eat because I did, but I had a very high metabolism, after having a baby, my chemical make up changed and I gained some weight and was at what is considered normal. To me normal is what is right for you and your chemical make up. Dont sweat it, one day you may find yourself trying to lose a few pounds. Hope this has helped.

Yeah that's normal weight for you. Im 5'3 and im only 75lbs due to my phobia of vomiting, so i guess im underweight, but yours is in the healthy weight range.

Talk to your doctor. For a 16yo female, yes that is normal but still talk to a professional.

Depends on your body type... at 5'4 that sounds pretty normal to me
