Depends on may factors such as your bone frame, you should go by body fat %, have someone at a local gym measure your body fat, 85lbs could be the rigth weight for you if you have a very small frame.
just depends, get your body fat measured and a bone density test done.
though if you look healthy with out haven sunken in eyes, and look sickly thin, then you may be the right weight for you.

It depends, if you do not eat, indeed, 18 years old weighing 85 pounds is a little insane. If you do not eat, get real and live life like you were meant to.
If you eat, and everything is fine, I say you are fine, but you could be a bit heavier to be healthy, I'm sure the average weight for a 18 year old woman is quite more high then 85 pounds.

I think so. You should at least be 100 pounds. Little kids are 85 pounds not 18 year olds.

To be honest, yes that is quite underweight for a grown woman. Have you always been very slim? Do you have a very small body frame or high metabolism? Maybe you should have your doctor check you out, just to be on the safe side. I don't want to alarm you, but if your body fat percentage drops too low, you could be facing potentially serious problems. HTH.

listen.. i sort of know what you are going through. You have self esteem issues. Just like me. Either one day you'll continue to grow or maybe you will be that way for life. Either way your going to have to be happy with yourself for who you are and what you look like.

yes....depending on your structure you should be between 110 and 125
don't gain fat if you do....just work out and tone your body.
if you are naturally very thin , then don't worry about it and enjoy food !! hahaha
