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.
The rule of thumb caloric intake for a person, regardless of age, is 1200 calories. See a dietician for more indepth information.
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.
