Marjo, based on your followup, it's apparent that you need to speak to your physician about eating properly and your overall health. This isn't the right place for you to do this. Best wishes to you.

Marjo is verified as being by the original poster of the questionEveryday, I eat junk food and I feel like I have to stop eating fattening food, go on a diet, and do exercise. But will I lose weight? I'm already 103 :S

Yeah, you sound skinny to me. I wouldn't be worried unless you think you're fat.

You are underweight for your height. But as the other posts have said, we dont know enough about you to say whether it is 'normal' for you or not.
If you are worried about your weight then you should see a doctor, and have a read on this website which should help you http://www.nhs.uk/livewell/teengirls/pages/underweightteengirls.aspx
I hope this helps and good luck!

Some people are naturally thin and have less body fat and muscle. If you're eating a good diet and you feel ok, it could be fine. Just check with your doctor to make sure.

BMI means nothing. And nobody can tell you what is "normal" since we don't know your bone structure: ectomorph, endomorph, etc. or muscle build.

Personally I dont think it would hurt you if you gained ten or fifteen pounds, just as long as you're healthy. I'm 15, 5'2" and 150 lbs and I feel great, I'm healthy, and in shape. But it's personal preference just as much as it's doctor preference :)

An online BMI calculator shows you in the 'underweight' category.
What does your doctor say? How do you feel? How is your general health?
We aren't medical experts and can't make an assessment of this type. Stay healthy, eat well, take good care of yourself.

I would say that it is on the low end of normal but as long as you eat healthy and exercise there is no reason why that weight couldn't be normal for someone.
My question to you is how to you feel about your weight and how do you feel inside, like biologically (ie amount of energy, etc)?
Everyone is different but I am confused as to why you are concerned.
