I'm 5'6" and weigh 132 pounds. I know a bunch of girls the same height who weigh around 105 pounds. Doesn't 105 seem too thin?

115-140 is on the healthy range.
At 132 Im sure your looking great! The girls that are 105 at 5ft6 are way way way too skinny. Im 5ft3 an if I get to 104 Id be considered underweight and Im shorter. They need a whopper and you need to feel beautiful! Stop your worrying!

I'm 5'5" and a half. I look best at about 120-125. I think anything between 115-135 is ideal even though some people can get away with more weight than others. I start to look crappy at around 110, like I have cancer or something so 105 is too thin for me and I'm a tiny bit shorter than 5'6"

I say whatever the individual feels comfortable with. Not every person who is 5'6" has the same bone structure, same physical activity levels, same health conditions, etc. For example...If a person who is 5'6" has a thyroid condition, they may weigh more than another 5'6" person that has no medical conditions at all. Also a person 5'6" may also be very athletic, go to the gym everyday, run track, play basketball with friends every evening, and so on. They would have more muscle than a person who watches TV and does nothing all day. The athletic person may weigh more because muscle weighs more.
That is just my opinion though.

Yes, it's a bit on the thin side. It's OK if they're eating properly and are naturally thin, but it's not OK if they are starving themselves to be that thin. At your weight, you're absolutely perfect. Our body masses should be between 18.5 and 25 with BMIs between 18 and 18.5 verging on underweight, though younger people tend to be at the lower end of the BMI scale. BMI is calculated by taking your weight in lbs dividing it by your height, dividing it by your height again and multiplying it by 703. Your BMI is 21.3. 105 lbs would put the BMI at 16.4, which qualifies as underweight. You're perfectly healthy and fine.

I'm 5'5 and I look great when I weigh about 130. I'm sure you look fine! The girls who weigh 105 probably have different body types. I wish I still weighed 130...........:(

they are too thin....technically at 5 feet you should be about 100 lbs and for every inch after its +5 or 6 more pounds...so 5'6" should be close to 130ish-136ish
so ur fine....they on the other hand need help gaining weight

105 is not too thin. 90 is too thin. 110-120 seems average. over 140 is kinda fat.

130-140 is pretty healthy...you could probably even be heavier than that and you would look perfectly fine. =] anything less than about 125 cant be good...
