I think you are probably bordering on underweight and normal. If you're happy with yourself thought that is what matters.

BMI calculates body fat according to the relationship of weight and height.
Enter your height in feet: 5 and inches: 6
Enter your weight in pounds: 120
Your result: 19
BMI less then 19 = Underweight
BMI between 19 and 25 = Healthy Range
BMI over 25 = Overweight
BMI over 27 = Significantly Overweight
BMI over 30 = Obese
yes you are under weight. I sugest to add less than 3 pounds to be healthy.

BMI is good, but what is your body fat percentage? Have you had this measured? You could be 119 but if you are 25% body fat this is not good or healthy. And if you are 119 but 7% body fat this is also not healthy.
Really, the question is are you fit? Weight does not equal health. Fitness equals health.

It is a lil underweight but it is not bad. I am sure your skinny but no stick. Be healthy and happy with yourself and your size. Dont worry if your a lil skinny most girls are always trying to lose weight u are lucky enough to be skinny already. So be happy and don't worry about your weight, just take care of yourself and you'll be fine.

I'd say normal, but if you think you're overweight you have to take bone structure into consideration, the bigger and heavier the bones the more normal it is, if your bones are very small and light well you could have a point in wanting to loose something - SMALL!!!

no, it's "normal". i hate that definition. there is no such thing as normal. all calorie needs and weight issues, body proportions are so individual and unique it's dizzying. everyone has different body types, builds, heredity, genes...if you're interested in eating healthier, check out the blood type eating. Eat Right 4 Your Type-search that title in any bookstore camputer search engine (www.borders.com)

sounds normal and healthy. as long as your eating right and healthy your good to go. Keep in mind your metabolism can be faster or slower than you friends maybe you eat the same as your family but your metabolism is faster.

Depends on your genes and your bonestructure and others. Its good to maintain a good self image. It gets harder as your life progress, but its really better to like yourself during all the changes you are about to endure.

No, I believe it is just within the healthy BMI range so you are fine.
