here is a simple formula to get a range idea of a ideal body weight for someone of a medium frame.
5 feet equals average of 100 pounds ideal body weight + or - 10 percent.
8 inches equals 5 pounds per inch which equals another 40 pounds total of 140 pounds ideal body weight + or - 10 percent.
So your ideal body weight should range from 126-154 pounds. So you being 115 pounds is only 11 pounds under this range and I do not feel it is a major concern if you are eating healthy and not anorexic!

Yeah, you are. You should weigh at least 130 lbs. But don't worry; you are growing right now and the weight should probably catch up to the height by the time you are 20 or so.

yes. Assuming you are female. depending on body frame tho. average 100lb for 5 feet for females (105 for males) and 5 lbs for each inch (7 lbs for males), you should weigh appx 125-155.(146-176 for males)
the questions to ask yourself, do you feel healthy? if you are female, are you menstruating? lack of menses is indicative of malnutrition.
