Well i'm 15 years old 5'7 and 103lbs so maybe if u gain like 10 more lbs it would be good and u might be able to become a model because that is right around the age/height u would need to be. but only if you're interested. I don't think that weight is horrible if you're not starving yourself. Some peolpe can eat and eat and never gain weight. If you are eating then don't worry about it. Just remember it's much better to be skinny than fat! Hope i helped!

That is under the standard weight. Keep in mind that everyone is different though. I am 5'3 and I weight about 105, an people tell me all the time I am too skinny. I eat well and I just don't gain the weight like some people do. Just make sure you are eating well, and if you are still worried about it go see the doctor and ask him what he thinks.

There is no right weight, unless you look or feel unhealthy.

I am 18 years old, I weight 105 lbs and I am 5"8 !!!!

It depends on many factors, some people have no breasts.. (like me) so I already lack a few pounds in my chest area.
Lots of people like to think models are all anorexic, but lots of people are born thin and can easily maintain a thin body, without working out.

I eat whatever I want and never exercise and I've always been skinny. I'm perfectly fine.
Don't sweat it

when i was your age i was alot shorter but about that weight... now at 5'7" i look my best at about 118-123, i have a small frame etc. try and build up some muscle. you can do things at home. right now your bones are still in transition and you really need to be sure that you give them all the help you can! drink lots of milk and try and get on a weight training circuit to just add a little, it doesnt have to be much. right now, yes you are underweight, i really hope that this is not to do with any eating issues, you are 15 and your body need nutrients, INCLUDING fats to grow. you will look your best at a healthy weight with some meat on your bones! I promise!

In my situation, I'm 5'8 and weigh only 95 pounds. It's not that I have any eating dissorder, I just have a fast metabolism. And trust me I eat alot. I see it as a good thing.
I think it's the right weight for your height so yeah your ok, check with your doctor just to make sure. (=

You're finee.. don't worry ;)

I weigh 80 lbs and im 5'2". I just have super fast metabolism. I'm really healthy and I eat tons and also my doctor says that I'm perfectly healthy but some people are just small boned.
So don't worry, as long as you are eatting healthy and exercising you should be just fine. :)

I'm 5'6 also, but I'm 85 lbs.
Well if you have a small frame you should be between 120-133 lbs,
medium frame: 130-144lbs and
large frame: 140-159.lbs

That's considered underweight - a healthy BMI (Body Mass Index) would be anywhere from 115 - 154.

I think you should talk to a doctor because this answer could vary. Age and height are a factor, but there is more to it. Also your bone structure and genetics play a role too.

Normal weight range for your height is about 125-135, maybe you should try putting on a little weight, if you are concerned, I would be if I was your mother!
