She is very underweight. Her BMI is 16.5 and needs to be between 18.5 and 25. Although some people are naturally very thin, this is very low. You dont say how old she is - its possible that if she's had a big growth spurt during puberty that her weight could take a while to catch up. Does she eat properly? Or do you think she has issues?

If she has a small framed body, she should be between 138-151 lbs. An average body 148-162. She is extremely under weight.

She is under weight. She needs to start eating. She may need to see a doctor to assure there is not a medical reason for her being so very thin. For someone of her height she should be at the very least 135 - 140 lbs.

Good grief! Yes, your friend is way underweight. No wonder she looks and probably feels drained out: She literally has no resources.
She needs to start eating: Protein and lots of good nutrition. She might even want to consider getting drinks like Ensure, something with a lot of calories and nutrition packed in a small amount.
If she can't do it alone, take her to a doctor.
Good luck!

Please speak to her. She may be suffering from an eating disorder.

yes she is severely underweight for her height. her BMI is 16.1 (the normal BMI is 18.5-24) she may just be naturally thin. but don't start bugging her about it. if there IS something unhealthy going on (like an eating disorder) bringing attention to her weight and her looks is JUST what she wants. so just... unless she gets under 110, don't bug her about it. but if she does, tell her that she is at a very unhealthy weight and that she should ask her doctor how to gain weight the healthy way (gaining muscle, not fat)
