(Its not that I'm trying to lose weight i just grown a lot) I am 13 years old and 5'6'' and 111lbs. Is this healthy? Too low? To High? If it isn't then can you tell me what is?

This is a simple rule of thumb to help you with this very problem for a lifetime.
You should weigh 100 lbs for 5 feet of height.
Plus 3 to 5 lbs for every inch over five feet.
If you are male 5 to 7 lbs for every inch over five feet.
You seem quite thin for your height. 120 to 135 would be better. Your body needs muscle and tissue to function.
Your heart is a muscle and absolutely MUST have food to operate. But with time you will begin to gain weight. If you do not, then there is a problem.
