It mostly depends on your height and body type, as well as bone structure. If you don't feel too thin and if no one has ever asked you if you're anorexic, I wouldn't really worry about it. If it does become a problem, you can always check many medical websites to see the standard for your height and age. But height is the biggest factor.

You're only twenty, so it's just called being skinny.

Give it another decade or two, get a desk job, possibly have some kids and
bang! No more skinny.
Unless you still are. In which case the rest of the people your age will make funny faces at you when you're not looking.

There's no normal. My sister is 5'4" and has never in her life weighed more than 105. Even after 2 kids. I weighed 112 no matter what I did or ate until I hit 35. If you are healthy, and feel good, who cares what a bunch of statistics say.

My mother 45, 5'5" and weights 97lbs. (BMI 16.1)
I'm 21, close to 5'10" and weight 127lbs. (BMI 18.2)
Underweight = less than 18.5
Sounds fine imo, some of us are just in capable of packing on the pounds. Both a blessing and a curse. x3

I'm 22 and weigh 175lbs. I'm a tad on the chunky side but it;s because I screwed up my metabolism so I'm trying to fix that.

During school, I never had time for breakfast. So from 6am - 1:30pm, I had to fast til lunch....then you get 30 minutes to wait in line and stuff your face.

It's just as bad being underweight, you can chow down on 10,000 calories a day and society will still stare at you as if you're some sort of derelict cocaine addict who hasn't slept in a week. XD; I've found the only real way to gain weight is via working out for about an hour so a day for a few weeks, if you stop then basically you lose 2-3lbs a day until you're back where you started. So basically, underweight and overweight people have to bust their asses equally as much to attain their desired results. </3

I'm 18 and about 140lbs. I'm only 5'2". I'm not skinny, I should be down around 105 or 110. But at the same time, I'm not overweight. And the shorter you are, the less forgiving your body is about your weight.
...But then again I have this crazy weirdly awesome metabolism. I should have screwed it up years ago, because of my eating habits. It's not as amazing as it was (seriously, I got kicked out of a buffet because I ate too much and lost weight) but I tend to eat dessert like.... three or four times a week. xD And I drink pop and apple juice nonstop. I also eat fish fingers way too much. /has to lose weight OTL
So yeah, don't worry about it!(:

We're not short sis, we're "vertically challenged." When I was growing up whenever someone would ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up I'd always say "Taller than my mother." Well, at 5'1" I am, by 3 inches lol. If people keep asking you questions about your weight and it makes you feel bad about yourself, tell'em to bug off. Sounds like you feel fine, and eat well, and are healthy, so unless they're a doctor they're not qualified to have an opinion.

I'm 5'11'' and weigh 108 lbs, and I'm fine-ish. It depends from person to person what's okay, you're probably fine.

Well I seem to be 3 pounds off or so...so I'm going to be eating a bit more. *stopping when I'm full rather then satisfied* I have found myself not eating after breakfast and diner so going to get peanut better and banana sandwiches since that made me blow up like a balloon while I was in school.

As long as you are menstruating regularly, I wouldn't worry about it.
