I think that you are a little underweight but if you're eating right and exercising regularly than don't worry about it. You're lucky that you're this skinny at 15, because once you're 30 years old all the women are gonna wish they looked like you. You could just have a fast metabolism. If you do want to bulk up and get some curves just eat more protein and do some strength training. Good luck!

How can we tell without a picture? I'm assuming you're a female but to be honest the real question is whether or not YOU think you are underweight.
90 lbs is a little low but then again you're only 15 and only 5'2". Look in the mirror and make your own decision and act accordingly.

Actually it is normal for teen girls to be very skinny. You can check your BMI, not under adult but under 15 year old girls. You might be totally normal. Underweight people live longer than normal weight people.
This links page (home page-- healthy eating) has gov. BMI site (4th link down) (1st link Bill Gates to see if you can get money for high school) where you can plug in all info and it will tell you the percentage of 15 year old girls heavier and skinnier than you. If its 50% than that makes you super normal.
Click on advice for teenage girls and take 5 minutes to read it so your life can be more fun than worrying about how normal you are in weight.

Do you want the truth or do you want what "Cosmo" and other stupid women's magazines tell you what you should be?
You're 15- you're body is going to change for the rest of your life. When you're 25, you have a few kids, guess what? That metabolism will drop like a rock down a 500 foot well.
Go look up Della Reese, and see her early pictures and see her recent pictures to see what I mean

Well, yes, you certainly are underweight, Scoobie! You may want to read the answer I just gave to one Anita, who wanted to know if she were overweight at 5' 2" and 110, which I thought, if anything, based on insurance tables, she might be underweight!

I think you are a little underweight, but at least you don't have an eating disorder and are smart enough to know you're underweight. If you really are worried about it, talk to your doctor.

I would say a little, but if you are not trying to lose wieght and feel healthy, you are fine. If you eat enough, daon't sweat it. You should be happy. Many girls would kill to be under 100 pounds.. or even anywhere near 100 pounds.

I think it's just you, but if you think that you're under weight, maybe you should go see a doctor or something!
