:O There is still hope. I'm going to drink lots of milk/take calcium supplements until I turn 18 :D
I'm taller than my mother, shorter than my father. huh.

If 168cm is considered short... I wonder how tall you'd have to be, to be considered tall. I saaayyyyy.... 174cm :D That's super tall.
Don't go overboard with the supplements! You also need to put on weight. You might reach 50Kg and grow again.

I think 180cm is average for guys. For Asian guys I guess 174cm is average.

Yeah, don't rely on BMI. I don't consider myself severely underweight, but my BMI of 14.3 would argue otherwise.
Does Australia have a different BMI thingo then? :/ So lost...
LOL. I'm only going to pig out while my metabolism allows me to. As soon as it slows down, i'll stop eating like a monster :]
Is BMI a percentage of fat in your body? If so, then using these charts and calculators aren't effective at all...
e.g. those freakish bodybuilders can weigh over 100kg. Then according to these calculators, they are severly overweight.

woww.... bmi of 14? i think that is underweight

the only real time bmi does not apply effectively is when muscle becomes too much of a percentage of weight; with muscle>fat (in kgs)

as is evidenced by footy players or body builders otherwise being obese if that was the case


although to sammy, it may just be genetics. Can't really judge tbh
