You can't take this test as completely correct (in fact it is very incorrect in most cases) as you are answering just a certain set of questions. If there is one or a few things that you are finding very hard to cope with then see somebody, but if not then don't listen to the test. Most 13 year olds have low self esteem and issues with eating etc. Being a teen is hard and often people get depressed (mostly middle-class people). If you feel down it is likely that it is just what all other teens feel, but if it becomes a serious worry, stop taking tests and see your doctor.
My sister had anorexia for four years and I have seen the horrors of it. So, if you have worries about it, i advise you to see someone, but keep in mind that most people are odd about eating. For example, even though I have seen first-hand how stupid anorexia is, I sometimes go on starvation week. I quickly realise it is stupid and stop, it is just called being young.
I hope you are okay xxx

The BMI is probably right but doesn't necessarily say anything about whether your weight is right or not; if you are only 13 you have less fat on your body than an adult woman and that's what BMI is about. I literally could not do the dead man's float at that age because I literally sank to the bottom of the pool, had no fat at all. I was not underweight though. The US Department of Health and Human Services says 18.7 is normal: Normal weight = 18.5-24.9 http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/

Too, I see you are in England so the feet, inches, pounds versus metric or stone weight measurements might be wrong or confused/complicated?

Your test score said you have a 60 on eating disorders though (which again, you answered the questions so there is probably something there, the test isn't making up its own rules :-) so if you care enough to argue, there might be a problem there with weight and eating.
