Karen answered Saturday March 12 2005, 6:10 pm: It's alright to be afraid that it's going to catch up to you because it is true. Your metabolism will eventually slow down and you will gain weight and if you don't watch what you eat, you will gain a lot of weight but you could always exercise and such, Anyways, yes, you are underweight because I'm 14, 5'4" 1/4, and I weigh 108 pounds and I'm about 20 pounds underweight but it's alright to be underweight. Your metabolism if your excuse. If you want to gain weight, you need to start intaking more calories and eating foods with lot of carbs and such. Just don't eat fatty foods a whole lot because you will gain weight in an unhealthy way.

bucsbaby6969 answered Saturday March 12 2005, 1:08 pm: You're not underweight. And yeah eventually your matabilism will slow down as you get older so you might wanna watch what you eat when you get older. I don't really think you need to gain weight at all. But if you feel you need to gain weight then i would say to exercise. Mussel weighs more than fat and ull get bigger and stronger mussecls by working out...in turn you will gain weight but it wont be jiggily fat ya kno lol.
