Answers:

No, you don't sound underweight. But if you're concerned, always consult a doctor. When my daughter was 16 (she's 20 now) she begged me to take her to the doctor, because everyone - including total strangers - were always making negative comments to her about being so thin. And you know what the doc said? That she was one of the healthiest teens he has ever seen. It seems that society has issues with people who are naturally thin. But on the flip side, society has a problem with people overweight. You just can't win. If you feel and are healthy, then don't let other people get you down.
