im 5'3" and weigh ard 100 pounds. Im average.. of petite frame.. but im 25..
Sometime the number on the scale doesnt matter much its how u look and feel.. if u feel strong and good and enough body fat to keep u warm theres nothing wrong with u...
90 for 5'2 is abit on the thin side but its alright for 12 yr olds since ur still growing.. in the next few years during puberty ur weight is going to come on faster as u fill out so don worry abt it.. But do watch ur nutrition and diet during puberty.. its most common for kids to become overweight or underdeveloped in this crucial period...

I'm about an inch taller than you and I only weigh about 98 pounds soaking wet. And I'm 17. Crazy, huh? According to the BMI (body mass index, google it if you like), that's underweight for both of us, but if you're healthy (eating regular meals and stuff), don't worry about it. That's probably just what your weight naturally is, and chances are you'll fill out a bit once you get a little older.

You are technically underweight. You are probably very thin and you absolutely should NOT diet unless it is under the care of a licensed physician. According to Weight Watchers, a 5'2" person should weigh between 109 and 125 pounds.
Another chart I found also puts you underweight - http://www.cita.uiuc.edu/courses/2006-09-rehab711/review2/slide4.html

Your body is still growing. In a few days you could be 100 pounds. Some people are naturally skinny and can't gain weight. I think your fine as long as your eating!
