You should see a doctor if YOU are concerned or not feeling well or think you have any issues or worries at all. Also, when was your last physical? See a doctor every year at least and talk to your parents or trusted adults about your concerns.

I agree, you sound completely normal. Maybe a little underweight but nothing to be concerned about.
"I don't even look that skinny!" Compared to what? Models? They are walking skeletons. NOT attractive in my book.

I don't think you need to worry at all. Your body is still going through a lot of changes, and it will be a few years before you know whether there is a specific problem. You sound like a normal girl.

When I was your age I was 5'6 150 LBS and I was told I was to fat by some people and just right by others. I'm still the same height and weight six years later. Just love who you are. As long as your not dangerously underweight I think you're fine. : )
