Here's a BMI chart so you can compare:

Your BMI of 17.9 puts you at about the 25 percentile for girls at age 15...(50 percentile is average) so that means you're on the underweight side.

Yep. Your 2 points from nearing underweight but your definetly not fat, your skinny!

You are almost underweight, 19 or 20 would be a healthier BMI, women need a higher BMI than men.

Your BMI is actually a bit low, as your normal is between 18.4 and 24.9. However this does not take into consideration your level of activity (sedentary versus moderately or extremely active).
