Underweight is if you arent the healthy weight for the height and age you are.

Underweight is when you weigh less then your suppose to.

Suppose these ages are right for how much you should weigh:

Ages : 6-9, Height : 3"0 - 4"9, Healthy Weight : Age 6 - 40 to 61lbs - Age 7 - 65-77lbs - Age 8 - 77-86 - Age 9 - 86-89lbs .

Ages : 10-14, Height : 4"9 - 5"4, Healthy Weight : Age 10 - 89-97lbs - Age 11 - 97-107lbs - Age 12 - 100-116lbs - Age 13 - 106-124lbs - Age 14 - 110-130lbs.
