4'11, 15 years old?

Whats considered underweight for a 15 year old female girls who is 4 feet 11 inches tall? I recently had a bout with an eating disorder and am gaining weight but my mom is a *****, and is saying shes putting me into a bulimia clinic next week. Can you put just ANYONE into a clinic, or do They need to be underweight? I am normally about 102 pounds, but i went to the doctor's for a check up and weighed 107. Please help me.

    You aren't at all underweight, but most bulimic aren't. Unlike anorexia, weight is not a factor in the diagnoses of bulimia. Your eating habits are. And if you are throwing up, or spitting out your food, or using laxatives, they will most likely take you in at a clinic.

    I would not say you are seriously underweight. But i highly recommend that you gain more pounds. Not serious enough to go to a clinic but please gain some more weight?
