Am I Too Underweight?

Question:

I'm 13 years old, 4' 10" and weigh 72 lbs. I try to eat healthy but many people tell me I am way underweight? What is the average weight for someone of my height?

Answers:
ur very small for 13 but in the long run it will be a good thing. the average weight for someone ur height would be about 80-85. but thats average so u may just be small boned structured. dont worry ur young and still growing. : D ~xoxo

Don't worry my lovely, you are still quite young and still growing.

Well, you should ask your doctor. if you're not having any health problems & are eating normally & stuff like that, it's probably just that that's how you are supposed to be.

someoner your height should be at least 95 pounds. i tested ur bmi and it is close to 15. my bmi is 17 so plz do not worry i am 5'3 and i weigh 95

Your body mass is way under the normal you need to see a doctor because at this age you may have problems growing into a adult and your period may not come and if it does it could be irregular.

based on the body mass index calculator, your BMI is 15.0 based on your height and weight. Underweight is when the BMI is less than 18.5. So, to be the "normal" weight range, you should be close to 90 lbs. but if you're eating healthy and not starving yourself and you weigh 72 lbs, it could just be your body type

i have aheight of 183cm and weight of 61kg.but this is underweight for me.compare this with your height and weight.select my answer if u want more details.
