Honestly, its average. You need to be lifting more. Push yourself.
Here is a tip: Do incline bench, before doing regular bench. Your regular bench will improve greatly. Also, work out your triceps. That is a key to strong bench #s.

That`s pretty good for 17. you didn`t mention your height, which can make adifference. Are you shooting for bodybuilding, or strength training? There is a difference. Do you participate in sports? Training can vary for each.

Like the first guy said, benching your own weight is good. When I was your age, I did reps of my weight and maxed out at 275lbs. I was 5'9" and 155lbs. If you are bulky, you can do better.
