Underweight?

I'm 16. I'll be 17 in a month. I'm a junior in high school and I'm currently 70 pounds.

Is that underweight? If so, is it unhealthy?

    How tall are you? We can't possibly say without knowing your height.

    However, if you are any taller than about 4'9", then yes, you are underweight.

    Your height plays a huge factor.

    It depends on how tall you are. Body mass index is a ratio of height-weight.
