Your BMI is 17.2 and should be at least 18.5.
You are a little on the thin side for an adult, Asian or not. I was pretty much the same at your age but started to fill out a little in my mid 30's. I'm now normal weight for my height and am in my mid 40's.
You should be worried if you lose weight but as long as you eat a healthy diet and get regular exercise you don't really have to worry.

To preppy horse lover, you are underweight by any measure and should seek medical advice instead of being annoyed when people express valid concerns.

you base it on height not age..

it depends on how tall you are

It all depends on your height, age isn't a factor.

Your age means nothing.
What matters is your height.
If you're under 5 feet tall, it's okay, a bit too skinny.
If you're over 5 feet tall, it may be too skinny and you should consult a doctor.
You may just have a small frame, and you're okay.

ur petite, u should be fine, lol im 5'7" and i weigh 102 lbs. lol i dont have an eating disorder, but im real skinny, it bugs when ppl ask if ur anorexic :(

well you're pretty short, so i'd say it levels it out a little. i'd rather be too skinny than too fat, but i'm pretty close to normal for my grade and i weigh 120, so i'd say you're really skinny. but if you eat healthy and KNOW that your body is healthy inside, i'd say you don't have much to worry about

depending on your body weight, you are prob just right, maybe a little small, but we americans are just fat

Most Asians are very thin by genetics. Consider yourself lucky in that. At 5'2", that is a little bit underweight, but nothing drastic. As long as your doctor says you're healthy, then don't worry about it.

NO not really, I would maybe hit the gym and maybe a buffet on the way home LOL :P
