You should be flattered that you are as slim as that...
I just weighed 76 lbs when I graduated from High School,
and I didn't know, at the time, that I had a Rare Birth (Brain)
Defect that ''made me to be small boned / small stature".
Don't worry about the gaining weight, for in time you will
develop, the way God intended for you too, but one thing
that your parents could do is ask that an MRI be done, just
in case something might show up, undetected, like mine
did, and wasn't found til I was in my Menopausal Years,
The MRI of the head, will show anything that is going on
there, and Any defect there, if any....
A Defect is just that...it doesn't change the thinking process..
or anything...for the mental side of life...
Wear Your Weight Well, and don't try to gain weight...
for you are Correct, at this time....
When you do have your ''period'' your body will be ready
for any changes, it needs to make, and it will be done,
without your approval...so don't worry about trying to ''force"
your body to grow or become larger....
Good Luck, and much happiness....from Too funny

Talk to your doctor or have mom talk with you and the doctor so they can help you with adding a little weight.
I couldn't gain weight either at your age. WHile it was hard when so young am now 43 with 3 kids and still have the figure of a teenager which is GREAT! It makes me look 10 years younger than I am and I can eat anything I want which is nice. I don't have to worry about gaining weight as my freinds are now battling fat thighs, big stomachs and large clothing sizes.
This won't help you right now but think about this - the guys don't mind that you are you then you should be glad you are you. You probably have a high metabolism which means you can eat a lot and burn the calories. You can talk to the docotor about healthy ways to gain weight because you want to feel better about yourself which is important.
Swimming is a great way to build beautiful streamlined muscles while adding weight but run this by your doctor. I loved biking - gave me a great set of legs and lungs while adding weight to my slim frame.
Exercise in excess has been known to delay development of breasts and periods by the way so don't over do it. Talk to your mom and doctor.

No you are not Under weight in terms of growth. Your body is still developing you could suddenly gain weight all in one summer. Actually you should just let your body Mature at its own rate. Trying to gain weight now will back fire later. If you force your body to do something that its not ready or capable of doing you could end up overweight as an adult. Just eat healthy, three meals and two snacks a day, and your body will catch up. You never know, you may appreciate this super fast metabolism (that's why you aren't gaining weight) later as an adult. You may be one of the lucky ones who is still in a size 2 at 30 years old.

Girls don't get their period when they are too underweight. You are very underweight. You should really try to eat a lot more food.
On a BMI calculator, having a score of 18.5 or lower is underweight. Your score is 12.

Yes! you must be super thin, but i am sure you'll gain weight in the future! If you want to gain weight, just eat a lot of junk!

in case you're somewhat good you will desire to have already won scholarship delivers from faculties. At your length, speed, and weight although i do no longer think of you have plenty probability at making the NFL at LB.

You are underweight by 40 to 50 pounds. Eat more.

sounds like you are underweight.
But you might be eating right but staying very active.
I wouldn't worry about it right now, you sound particularly healthy in every other way.

Maybe your body is meant to go through puberty later that normal. I wouldn't worry until the end of this year, if nothing has happened.
