I read on a magazine to calculate ur BMI:
1- Multiply ur height in meters by itself
2- Divide ur weight in KG by the answer to number 1.
My BMI was 15 and it said that if ur BMI is under 19 it is very 'dangerously thin'. However i am just 13 and I feel very fat. What do u think? Am i really 'dangerously thin'??

The BMI doesn't apply to children, it is measured differently.
You do sound like your very slim.
If you are eating healthy nutritious foods, 3 meals a day with some fruit snack & are staying well hydrated & exercise, you're on the right track. Why don't talk to your parents & ask them what they weight, when they were your age. This would give you a better idea, what normal is for you. You're certainly not fat.

You might have made a mistake, so use this calculator which is more accurate:

What is your weight and height?
It is unlikely that you are dangerously thin if you eat a well balanced diet no matter what your BMI is at 13.
For children and adolescents, more calories are needed at older ages. For example, a moderately active 13-year-old girl should aim for 2,000 calories, but a moderately active 9-year-old girl should aim for 1,600 calories.
Check out this page to learn about caloric amounts you should be getting along with more info on BMI:

Good luck and I hope this helps you.

the BMI test is for people over the age of 18, and you may have also done the calculations wrong, try looking in google to find a test for yourwon age group if you really need to know

That sounds unhealthy. A person should have a BMI of 18.5 or greater to be healthy, but no more than 24.5. You might want to see a doctor. If you feel fat, thats a BIG problem.

Well, if your BMI is 15 and you "feel" fat then you have a problem, and you should seek help before it turns into an eating disorder.

being 13, this way of calculation does not really apply. BUT, you are still very thin. and what is most concerning is that you do not realize it. i suggest bringing this up with a parent or other trusted adult; This way of thinking can lead to a long road of suffering.
