you should weigh more cuz yours is around 17. to be at a normal weight, u should be at around 18.5-24.9.

the healthy BMI is between 18.5-24.9 (I just checked it). And according to the info you have given, the BMI is 17.6 if i calculated properly, and that means underweight and should put on some more weight, but you are 13, and have some time to catch up on some healthy weight gain, assuming that's your measurements.
Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
Overweight = 25-29.9
Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater
I converted your measurements to kilograms and metres. To measure your BMI:
weight in kilograms divided by ((height in metres) squared).
1 pound=0.45359237 kilograms
1 meter = 3.2808399 feet
Remember these, you might need them later in life, I did.

you say your 13, 5'8 and 116 pounds? i took a BMI test before, im 13 also, im 5'3 and 119 and it says someone my height and weight is healthy you BMI test says your a 17 and that means your underweght. thats ok though because lots of people will gain it back sooner or later.
