Well, your BMI (Body Mass Index) is 16.3, which would be considered underweight. Anything under 18.5 is underweight. HOWEVER, you're still growing, and your weight probably hasn't caught up with your height yet. If you're really concerned, you can always talk to your doctor - they'll know you and your family's genetics, and can tell you better than anyone on Yahoo.

89 pounds is a little below average but I would have to say you are pretty normal but a few pounds wouldn't hurt. The Average weight for a 13 year old is from 95-110 but that's only average

Healthy weight can be roughly worked out throught your BMI (Body Mass Index).
Here's a calculator for pounds but given you are not yet an adult the result may not be accurate.
The calculations are based on your height to weight ratio (so think along the lines of someone who is short and overweight - if they were the same weight but taller, would not necessarily be overweight.)
The results for adults are as follows:
Underweight = <18.5
Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
Overweight = 25-29.9
Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater
Note that BMI does NOT take into account muscle to fat ratio. I have a few friends who have a BMI of 28-29 but are rugby players or weight lifters so are heavy because they are muscley.
(This should be physically obvious though)
Hope it helps (and on a personal note, if you're happy with what you're doing in life, and your weight doesn't affect it or your health, who cares! I only know the BMI stuff because of my work...)
