It means you have low blood pressure. The one to "worry" about is the first number, in your case 94. If that gets up over 200, then you need to worry.

The are so many factors that are unique to the individual like age, overall health Etc. In general terms one of the numbers is a measurement regarding the flow of blood through your veins. The other number is how your veins handle this. It is something that older people need to be concerned about more than the young (in general terms anyway) because veins can become brittle or blocked by plaque (fat) and this is why Cholesterol is also measured.
67 BPM (beats per minute) is how often your heart beats and pushes the blood through your veins. This varys with activity E.G. it should be higher when you excercise. We have valves in our hearts and they open and close, (heart beat) this allows our blood to flow through our veins and circulate through our bodies. We need this to happen because our blood carries oxygen from the air that we breath.
In summary, all measurements are indicators of how our body is performing. If used and read correctly by a doctor, they confirm that our cardio vascular system (lungs, heart) is working correctly. If the results fall outside the range for age and overall health of an individual then the Doctor knows that there could be some problems that he needs to fix. E.G. if your blood pressure was high, the Doctor would check other things before prescribing medicine.
There is a really good website which I recommend you look at. WWW.webmd.com
I am not a doctor but hope this gives you some clarity. The numbers you listed cannot be read on their own. They are measurements that can only be read in conjunction with other factors like: age, what you were doing when the measurements were taken Etc.

3 years ago, I was diagnosed - hypertension with a reading of 160/100. I used to feel dizzy a lot, my legs had awful cramps, and levels were very low in my potassium, causing my fingers and toes to always cramp together. One day I started to feel really faint while I was driving with my daughter in the back seat and I passed out, hitting 3 cars and ending up in a ditch. That moment,I knew I had to do something because my meds weren't working. I heard about this diet from a friend and thought I'd give it a shot. The results have been remarkable. In just 21 days, I honestly can't remember feeling this good, my blood pressure went from 175/110 to 125/70.

You should read "The Blood Pressure Solution" (also available in electronic format, watch the video presentation here: http://www.fixbloodpressure.com ) It's a very comprehensive step-by-step book that walks you through the natural remedies of high blood pressure. It provides you with a lot of information on what foods to eat, how you can acquire and prepare these foods, how you can change your lifestyle for the better, how to eliminate the toxins from your body, how to reduce stress, how you can check your blood pressure level the correct way etc.
The book is amazing in that it not only lowers your blood pressure without the help of medications; it also aids you in having a life that is healthy, happier, and less stressful. This book chanced my life.

That's a healthy reading all round.( generally 120/80 is reckoned normal for an adult) Yours is a bit lower than average, but not much. Better lower than higher on the whole.
The first figure is the pressure as the heart contracts (pumping) the second when the heart is at rest.
Or at least that's what I've always thought. Maybe you'd better check

Entirely normal blood pressure for a fifteen year old. Even for an adult, it would be well into the normal range.

It's fine. It's a little low. If you are a young woman, it's not at all unusual.
