A BMI of 18 is supposed to be the lowest healthy number. Anything under 18 is underweight.17.2 isn't that much under but it would probably be good if you gained some weight. Just because you're underweight doesn't necessarily mean you are unhealthy but you should tak to your doctor about it. If you are a teen here is a tool to use http://kidshealth.org/teen/food_fitness/dieting/bmi.html that has charts and will tell you more information.

Normal bmi is 18.5-24.9 so yes you are underweight. That's not too healthy.
