Good God Ryne! EAT SOMETHING!
It weirds me out that you're 17 since I've known you since you were 15.

I'm about the same age/height and I weigh about 10-15 more. I don't think it's to bad. But you are skinny. Like me.

I'm 5'8 and 120 lbs.
At one point, I was 5'7 and 103 lbs.
I haven't gained really any weight in fat, I've mostly just filled in more of my adult type muscle/body mass in the past few years. I didn't start eating drastically more or lifting or anything like that, it's just mostly the muscle mass that most dudes seem to gain towards the end of the growth stage. I've still got a ways to go, but eh, whatever.
Don't get me wrong, I'm still way skinny.
Anyways, if you're pretty certain that you're eating healthy and your body is functioning healthily, there's not really a reason to be concerned about your weight (besides cosmetic reasons, if you don't like the way you look). Actually, there are a lot of benefits of being really skinny at a younger age, especially because the effects of the lifestyle change following the dive into the workforce (more working, less sleeping, less excercising) are likely to be much less drastic.
If you really want to gain weight, I would just suggest eating more protein (but still maintaining a balanced diet) and working out.

What a lot of people don't understand is that some people are meant to be as skinny as you are, and some are not. Nobody is really meant to be obese, but on the other hand, it's only bad to be that skinny when it isn't due to the rate at which your body metabolizes.
A lot of people are put off by thin people because of the recent boom in eating disorders and anorexia, which obviously (and rightfully so) receive a negative connotation. It's flat out unhealthy to put your body through that.
If that's the reason for your weight, then yeah, it is too skinny for you and you should do something about it as soon as possible, but if not, you're just fine.
