Your fine. I wouldn't worry.

Other Answers:
on average if you are 5 feet you should be approx 100 pounds. you should be about 5 pounds for every additional inch.

you should be around 100, doctors suggest about 5% more to remain healthy (about 105) if you were to be 20-29% you are considered overweight (120-129), when you reach 30% (130-or more) more than what is suggested you are considered obese.

You could use a few more pounds to be considered healthy. You are burning way more than your intake.

Your average. I'm 4"10, 12 years old and weigh about 72 pounds but i'm smaller than you. so you good.

According to the Body Mass Index calculator at http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/bmi/ , you are at a healthy weight. It's great that you're active and healthy- many people your age aren't anymore. Remember, healthy is more important than thin. Don't let the fashion magazines fool you. You're beautiful the way you are.

I'm exactly like you. my doctor said I'm a perfect weight for me. talk to your doctor about it and then you'll get the correct answer.
