That's what recommended if you're not very active/trying to lose weight. 2000 calories is for a moderately active person. There's all sorts of calorie indexes online that'll ask you questions about your lifestyle and then kick out a target calorie consumption.

not if you are an athlete in training. but if you're not, 1500 calories a day is too much.

Uh, no. 1200 calories a day is considered anorexic by some standards.

Certainly not. 2000 calories a day is less than average.

For an active young girl NOT ENOUGH!
In fact, it sounds like a good average amount for someone if you're not doing too much. If you're physically active you definitely want to up that. And men, you're going to have to up that even more to meet your metabolic requirements

It depends on BMR (basal metabolic rate) and the amount of exercise you get daily on top your your body weight and height.
Usually, no, unless your under 110lbs and under 5'2".
