This what i got from a BMI site... I just made up a birthdate.. here's the website....
http://apps.nccd.cdc.gov/dnpabmi/Calculator.aspx
Information Entered
Age: 15 years 3 months Sex: Girl
Birth Date: June 22, 1991 Height: 5 feet 2 inch(es)
Date of Measurement: September 14, 2006 Weight: 86 pounds
Results
Based on the height and weight entered, the BMI is 15.7, placing the BMI-for-age at the 1st percentile for girls aged 15 years 3 months. This teen is underweight and should be seen by a healthcare provider for further assessment to determine possible causes of underweight.
Here's a site that I think you'll find useful and contains a lot of useful information about the "right" weight... (see below) http://www.kidshealth.org/teen/food_fitness/dieting/weight_height.html

She's definitely underweight! I'm 5'2 18yrs old and weigh 130. I'm pretty sure the healthy weight is in between 105-135 depending on body structure.

It's hard to say without seeing a person to give you a solid answer. Lots of factors come into play genes, muscle mass, and activity all play major rolls in a teenagers development. I have added a link at the bottom that talk about weight issues and teenagers, there is also a calculator. Good Luck!

Yeah, that is way underweight and probably not at all attractive.
A healthy weight for a 5'2" female is 120lbs, possibly more depending on frame.

it's a little light, I wouldn't worry about it unless it is coupled with a pattern of obsession with body size and weight, or dieting. Adolescents and teens go through body fluxuations. I graduated high school 5'0" and 95 lbs, it was just a hiccup in my development, I'm normal size now.

I believe that is slightly underweight for 15 years old. She should really be around 90lb-110lb if she is very petite. HTH : )

That's a bit thin, anywhere between high 90's and low 100's should be a good weight.
