You are definitely underweight. Technically, the minimum healthy weight for your height is 108 lbs. I'm the same height and I find that 100 lbs works for me, but I have a frame size (bone size) so small it's off the medical charts, and I'm very sedentary (aka lazy) so I don't have a lot of muscle mass making me weigh more (or making me look fit and cute, for that matter). If I look a little too skinny at 100 pounds, you must be absolutely skeletal. You weigh less than one of those stick-thin runway models would if they were your height. In fact, Kate Moss at the height of her career, when she was ridiculously underweight even by catwalk model standards, weighed more pounds per inch than you do. If I remember correctly she weighed around 105 lbs. Since most (actually all) supermodels are 5"8' or 5"9', I think she weighed more pounds per inch of height than you do. If you are naturally thin and honestly trying to gain weight, you should go to a doctor to find out if there is something wrong. You're weight is very abnormal. If you are intentionally dieting to avoid gaining weight you need to stop right away. I hope this helped you to put your weight into perspective, and I'm sorry if you feel bad about how thin you are, but it's easy to fix unless you have a medical problem.

wow you are underweight.

But as long as your confortable is all cooool

Ditto. At 13 your still growing though, odds are you'll pick up weight soon.

Its okay.
Make sure you maintain your weight growing up and take those essential vitamins + plenty of water to avoid the grosse stuff like hair loss and wrinkles.

im 13 5'6 and 124 but im a bodybuilder so i should weight more ;)

You are underweight. I am 5'3 and 130 pounds. Try to gain at LEAST 10 more pounds. You are still growing, so you will be a little lighter than you should be, but not this light.

EDIT:
If you're having trouble gaining weight, talk to your doctor. They may be able to make suggestions on how to change your diet to make you gain a few pounds. It may also just be a stage you're going through. Keep eating three meals a day with plenty of snacks.

Yes, That is under weight. But don't worry. When you are about 14 or 15 years old, you would grow. =D That happened to me too. You gain weight faster. maybe you have a really fast metabolism. That's a good thing. Don't be stressed of what other people say. But do try to eat healthy foods like vegies and fruits. Good luck! =D
