that's kinda on a skinny side, but it also depends on your body frame. Your perfect weight should be about 130, but if you can't gain weight - do not worry about it. Nature will take care of it once you hit 40's or so and after having kids :) your metabolism will slow down and you'll start putting on weight. that's when you'll be saying - back in my day people were calling me SKINNY :)
don't stress out about this, love yourself the way you are!

You're just a little bit underweight. Underweight = <18.5 ( You have a BMI of 17.2). Hey I'm 17 and I'm 5'2" and 85 pounds (BMI of 15.5). I'm underweight, but not anorexic underweight. Some people have said I was, but I'm not. It's all in your body type. I mean I'm like 25 pounds underweight, yet I have a C cup so I dont know how that happened. So you're good.

Don't worry about it. Age and babies will put on that weight for you and then you'll be wishing you were 21 and too skinny again! Enjoy it while it lasts and don't worry about what anyone else thinks. As long as you're healthy you're fine.

that's a tad bit too skinny. if you were a little shorter, then the weight wouldn't be a problem. you probably gain nothing because of a fast metabolism.

As long as you are eating well, exercising and in good health, you're not too skinny. You probably just have a high metabolism. Tell your family to STFU and just love you for who you are. Oh yeah, you need to love yourself for who you are and stop worrying about being too skinny.

yes that is a bit low for that height. I'm 5'6" and i weigh about 180 now so i would say start workin out to gain some muscle. that way when u gain weight it's not fat!
