Yes, I think it is. The BMI (Body Mass Index) charts put out by the government start at 58 inches and 91 pounds. According to their chart you could weigh up to 127 pounds!
If you weigh a little on the light side through your life, you will live longer for sure. I am going to rethink the charts after seeing the answers coming in to your question. Stay light.

According to the Body Mass Index calculator at http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/bmi/... , you are at a healthy weight, and it wouldn't be tragic if you gained a few pounds (and in all reality, as you grow and develop, you will gain weight. Don't worry about it- as long as you stay active and eat right, all that weight will even out in the right places). Remember, healthy is more important than thin. Don't let the fashion magazines fool you. You're beautiful the way you are.

on average if you are 5 feet you should be approx 100 pounds. you should be about 5 pounds for every additional inch.
you should be around 105, doctors suggest about 5% more to remain healthy (about 110) if you were to be 20-29% you are considered overweight (126-135), when you reach 30% (1135-or more) more than what is suggested you are considered obese

Good but could be better. A little on the light side.

If you were anorexic you wouldnt be trying to gain weight, you would be doing everything you could to lose it.

Honestly sweetheart, if you are 13 you shouldn't be worried about how much you weigh.
Trust me, you have no idea how many supermodels were "fat kids" in school.......NOT that you're a fat kid.
