I'm 13, I'm 102 pounds, 5'4 && my bra size is B 36.
sometimes I wonder I am too big, my whole family is skinny itty-bitty and i'm different. Is this big for a 13 year old, or healthy?

You say your whole family is thin, and you think you are big? I think you have a self image that is not correct. (your mirror lies to you). You, too, are a tiny person. You sound perfectly healthy and at a weight that is really very small. I say your mirror lies, because I know mine does. I am 5'5", weigh 105 pounds, wear a size 2 or 3, and am always thinking I am fat. I'm not. But, when I look into my mirror, I will SEE me as big!
I have to watch my clothing sizes to keep a handle on my real size, as my mirror sees me as fat, period. People seem to laugh out loud when I say that, but, they don't see what I see in my mirror.

You sound very healthy. Obesity is very unhealthy, even 5 pounds overweight is unhealthy in some cases.
Thinness is usually only a problem if caused by an eating disorder. Sometimes, doctors will tell elderly people to put on weight because it increases their bone mass. That's about the only reason to weigh more ;)

You're probably developing earlier than most girls. Just enjoy that you have breasts while your classmates still don't :)
102 lbs is not heavy! I'm pretty skinny and I weigh about the same, but I'm shorter, the weight is probably from your breasts, don't worry too much, you're height / weight are still not done developing.

You are perfectly fine to be a 13 year old.

I ran a BMI (body mass index) on you judging by the information you gave me and you are COMPLETELY HEALTHY! Your BMI is 17.5 placing your BMI-for-age at the 31st percentile. The 5th percent to 85th percentile is healthy weight, so you are actually small for your size.

You're fine, if not skinny. You're just a different size from other members of your fasmily.

102 is pretty small for 5'4"! I'm 5'4" myself and 125 is my goal weight.
