First of all you're a young teen who 's body is going through many changes and most likely you will put on more weight. If you're eating a nutritionaly sound diet and feel well then I wouldn't be to concerned. If you do want to gain weight then try a one a day vitamin and increase your fat content, add a little more butter on your bread, eat whole milk products and enjoy some desserts.
You may be underweight however if you relax and add more calories you will reach a desirable weight. Good Luck!

I would have to say you are very skinny and should put on anywhere from 20 to 30 pounds, however, as long as your healthy, do so slowly.

Yes you probably are, you need some body fat to be healthy. Talk to your parent Or school counselor and have them arrange for you to have a check up (medical) to ensure that everything is normal for your age.
Meanwhile make sure you get exercise everyday and try to eat some power foods like oatmeal, eggs, wholegrain bread, beans and vegetables.

Yes you are skinny but as long as you are eating regularly and happy, don't dwell on it. Some day your weight will catch up with you and you will blossom into a beautiful young lady. Until then.....How about some Pizza?

it all depends on your frame, and genetics. I am 5'0'' and at 16 I weighed 85 pounds. Just eat a healthy balanced diet and if your truelly worried talk to your parents and maybe your doctor.

Yes, you are. Go and see your doctor. If your body fat drops below 12%, you are in for some serious problems.
