I think you are fine considering that you are 5'2 and the same height as me. I am 112lbs but from the book I read, women that are 5'2 and range from 110 to 125 are average weight. However, of course, if you lean towrads 120- that is kind of risky and if you range downwards it is more safe. But if you are really concerned about, do some exercise- not just to lose weight but to keep the body fit and in shape. The area I am in, it is pretty cold, so I usually do indoors exercise such as early morning stretches, push-ups, sit-ups, crunches, wall sit ups, etc. When you do exercise, don't keep in mind that you are trying to loose weight- keep in mind that you are trying to be healthy and keeping your body in good shape.
Maybe read the book "Dorm Room Diet", I loved that book and it helped me a lot. Even though it is for college students, it still helps people who aren't in college. It suggests you all the food you should eat, foods that you should eat less of and exercise that you can do. (That part about the exercise I am a bit uncertain, though I am about 95% sure, maybe I am confusing it with another book.)

Q: Okay, so I'm 15 and I'm only 5'3 I'm like the 5th shortest kid in my grade. Some kids who are in lower grades than me are taller! I drink milk like 3 times a day and I sleep like crazy and yet I'm still short- how can I get tall?

Well, you can't really put pressure on height growth. It is your genes that moderate your height. Some people are tall and some people are not. If your genes are short genes, the highest you might grow to will be 5'4 or 5'5, but if you do enough exercise (such as stretching, pull-ups, jump rope) it will help you grow up to 5'6 rather than 5'4. However, it is not always possible because you might have recessive tall genes. Where as your short genes are dominant. If your parents (either one) are short, it might have been the cause of your height.
The kids in other grades, they probably have dominant tall genes and recessive short genes. It all matters on the genetic material.
However, maybe you just haven't reached your growth sprout yet. I am only a freshman in high school and I am only 5'2.

Hihi everyone. Call me Kit and I live in New York. If you ever want to talk, just leave me a message!
I'm a sophomore in High School. Of course, I am not a superb advice giver but I can have my voice heard in topics. However, like everyone else, I have my own problems. But I feel that if everyone can just express their true feelings to one another, problems can be solved easily. So if you ever have a question or a remark to make, simply say it. I don't mind at all. I'm sure even if you make insults at me, you probably have a reason to and I'll just approach it the same way I approach things in life.
Whether your question is simple or profound, I'll do my best to help. ^^. Laters!
Kit.
