If you are eating enough and eating well, don't worry about it. Being underweight is a problem if you aren't eating enough or are unhealthy. It's hard to tell by just height & weight, frame size has a lot to do with it also. You can have two people of the same height & weight and they will be different sizes and take two people of the same height & size and they'll be different weights. Just concentrate on being healthy and getting enough calories to fuel your body for sports. Don't eat junk food just to gain weight, if you're meant to fill out it will happen in time. I used to be able to eat whatever I wanted and stay skinny, until all of a sudden that ended. No more burgers & ice cream whenever I wanted a snack! I was about 15 I think, so it's fairly normal.

I think you're healthy, as long as you're eating good amounts of healthy food and excersizing. Also, make sure you incorporate SOME fats in your diet, but not too much. Not having enough fats is bad too. The reason why you can't gain weight is probably because you have a fast metabolism. So, in my opinion, you're fine.

Your a little under weight, but just by a little about 10lbs. You have to keep in mind that you are active, but you also need to make sure your getting enough nutrients and taking in enough calories so you aren't burning everyone off that you take in.

theres alot of people like that, my youth leader is one of them, shes 23 about 5'6" and only about 105 or 110, she eats normally and with a healthy diet but still stays really skinny, it's got alot to do with hormones and metabolism, nothing you should be concerned about.

You're actually fine, but you're definitely on the thin side. Go to www.seventeen.com/bmi to keep on checking on that weight.
