yes, i believe that it is. i am 5' 6" and 104 pounds, which means that i am also 16.8 BMI also. while i feel that i am very skinny, i dont think that it is unhealthy to be 16.8 as a teenager. :D

BMI is not a very accurate way to measure how healthy you are. And it depends on how tall you are. In terms of BMI 17.3 is a little underweight for an adult (should be 18-25) but in the healthy weight range for a child. Of course other things such as activity level, genetics, and gender will vary the 'healthy' BMI range for each individual.
Yes, usually when your BMI hits 18.5 you are considered underweight
