It's neither bad nor good, because you didn't say how tall you were. If your friends are the same height as you, then you are a little on the light side. If they are a bit taller than you, then you are probably just about right. If the are shorter than you, you're in trouble!
But don't worry about what you weigh. Concentrate instead on feeling good about yourself, about making sure that what you eat is good nutritionally because at 13 you are still growing and developing and your body needs to have the proper elements to grow.

Depending on your height is the big thing if your like 5-8 and 93lb u need help but at your age ur probably not going to be that tall so u should be ok .... if ur shorter than its ok ... and also ur probably just starting your period and once that happens u should gain some more weight ....

Know if you need to lose weight
Health specialist use a measure called BMI, short for Body Mass Index. Body mass index (BMI)
is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to both adult men and women.
This gives a good measure of your total body fat. BMI compares your height and weight. It
shows if you are underweight, at a healthy weight, or overweight.
You know how many pounds are there in 1 kg. Do not know let me help you, it is 1 kilogram =
2.20462262 pounds. Check out what your BMI is by using the BMI calculator.

BMI Category
Below 18.5 Underweight
Between 18.5 - 24.9 Healthy Weight
Between 25 - 29.9 Overweight

Look at the BMI chart to find out how much weight you need to lose to move from obese to
overweight or from overweight into a healthy range. Knowing this can help you set a good
weight loss goal.

Whether or not 93lbs is a healthy weight for a 13-year-old depends on a lot of things- how tall she is, her bone structure, how far into puberty she is, etc. It is quite thin, even for someone short, but it's not unheard of, nor is it necessarily unhealthy. If you're really concerned about it, talk to your doctor at your next check-up; or to your school nurse or one of your parents.
