laena	that is very thin for a girl of that height. there are other factors of course, her age and activity level would effect all that. So to all of those people who immediately jumped to anorexia as the cause, she could just have a fast metabolism. but that's your call. Another thing to look into might be anemia. I know a boy who loses weight whenever he eats dairy and until he realized that was the cause, he used to be about that height and weighed the same thing. all in all, yes, it is a bit too skinny to be totally healthy but if she's eating healthily she might just have a fast metabolism. It may be something to bring to her doctors attention though. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Deuce	That sounds like an alarming weight. Tell your friend that she is putting her life in jeapordy. The lack of nutrients will cause her heart to fail if she continues. There are many emergency numbers that you can find for treatment. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

desperatehw	Probably so. Especially if your friend is past puberty. I was 5'7" in 6th grade and weighed 85 # but once I went through puberty put on weight until I reached about 110# and stayed there until I had children. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Katherine	yes!!!! i'm 5'7" and anything under 118 pounds for that height is considered underweight. that weight she is at is an anorexic's weight....... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Clueless<333	it depends, that is outragiously low weight, but it can be healthy in certain cases. Due to high metabolism and working out a lot (athletes). If it seems like your friend isn't in these categories then you should get her to go to the doctor and get things checked out. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

kwhite_14	A girl that is 5'8 and is 90 lbs is unhealthy. She should atleast be in the 120's or 130's... too skinny. Have you noticed any bad habits? Does he eat meals or just snacks? I'd be worried. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
