You should eat enough to be healthy. Average weights can be found here:

1300 calories sounds low. You should probably exercise, and eat more.
1300 * 16 = 20,800
It varies based on a variety of factors (gender, weight, height, body type, muscle mass, amount of body fat, activity level, ect.), but, on average, about 1,600 calories a day for a female and about 1,800 calories a day for a male.
This depends on your height and weight, as well as age. An average 125-pound sixteen year old girl burns an average of 1,800 calories a day. If you weigh more, you burn more calories, and vice versa.
2400 calories
* If you are 16 and about 200 pounds you need about 2600 calories per day. To lose weight in a moderate way you will need to eat about 500 fewer calories per day, so around 2100 calories should be your goal. AND a lot of running!!! * A slow weight loss of 1 or 2 pounds a week, until the desirable body weight is reached, is best.
There is no set number of calories any human being should have. There are recommendations for daily caloric intake but nothing concrete. A typical 16 year old girl will burn about 1500 to 2500 calories/day depending on her level of activity, metabolism, etc. If the girl at question is overweight, change the current diet and encourage exercise or sports.
The rule of thumb caloric intake for a person, regardless of age, is 1200 calories. See a dietician for more indepth information.
