You could try this BMI calculator for children and teenagers:

But, IMO, you sound like a fine weight - particularly seeing as you're only 13 and your body probably hasn't stopped growing yet! Don't worry about it!

Sometimes it depends on the persons build how much they way. The BMI is based purely on ones weight. You may be small boned. It might be better to have someone do a percentage of bodyfat test on you. I would not worry about this you are young. Talk with your parents or doctor to see what they say. Stay active.

Keep doing what you are doing. When you stop growing, you will find the right weight. Stay active, I'm 50 and I am still active.

Naw ,that's good. 5'5" 114 is good .Stay between 115 and 130 and you'll be fine (130 is pushing it but hey the holidays are coming!)

dont worry about it, at that age your body will fill itself out soon enough, thats not under at all, if you were like 5'7 and that weight then id say yeah, but if you eat, your body is just naturally like that

As long as you feel great about yourself and are not starving yourself in order to obtain a certain look then you should feel great about yourself.
