I'm exactly the same height and very small boned. Yes... you're definitely underweight but not by a huge amount. It might be because you're extremely active and physical. You may just need to eat a little more. Please tell me you haven't dieted!
Try to make healthy food choices and whatever you do read package labels and STOP eating all trans fats, which are dangerous for everyone. It might just take an extra snack here and there to boost your weight a bit.
Try not to obsess over your weight. It will only set you up for a possible eating disorder. If you feel good and are in a normal range you have nothing to worry about.

For a boy, the weight matches the height, however both are in the 5th percentile, which is low, as is the body mass index of 17.4. If the parents are short or small, this may be ok. If the child has always been in the 5th percentile, it is probably ok as well. Someone who has been in the 75th percentile for ht or wt and declines to the 5th percentile, then this is problematic.
As for a girl of this weight and stature; weight is in the 10th %ile and height is around 35 %ile. Meaning probably a little skinny for the height and age, but again depends on family size and trends. To understand more about growth charts, percentiles, etc, try the cdc at: http://www.kidsgrowth.com/resources/articledetail.cfm?id=304
bottom line: go get a well exam from your family doctor if you are concerned, and discuss this. hope it helps.

The average weight for your hight is 107-140lbs, but the model weight is anything from 70-92lbs. I think you sounds perfect for your height and age :)

No, I was 5ft 4 and 86 pounds when I was sixteen. This was thin, but I think people have stages--you might gain weight naturally--your metabolism could be high right now.

I think its a good weight, but it depends on your body structure also. My friend is 5'2'' and has weighed 98 pounds for the last 5 years. her dr. says she's at a perfect weight for her size and she is perfectly healthy!
