Ideal body weight: It depends on the girl's height. If the girl is 5'6' then yes that is way too skinny. If the girl is between 4'11 and 5'1" then she's likely fine.

Tricky answer: I assume you mean "weight". If you were at least 19yo, you could calculate a simple body mass index (http://www.Nhlbi.Nih.Gov/guidelines/obesity/bmi/bmicalc.Htm) regardless of age & gender. However, when younger than 19yo, then age & gender comes into play. Check out http://www.Cdc.Gov/healthyweight/assessing/bmi/childrens_bmi/about_childrens_bmi.Html. Normal is 98-144 pounds. Average is in middle.

Yes & No - Reasons?: Perhaps a bit usual; also exploring self. Probably the larger issue is the reasons. While there is no evidence that mastubation is harmful (despite old social taboos) a larger concern might be the situation & why such a drive for some pleasure. Could it be that person's view of life & issues depressing, feels trapped, bored & looking for some form or relief/pleasure. Suggest exploring other issues.

Growth and height: Cannot be manipulated to make a change over a week.. If you're experiencing this, its simply a growth spurt but in general, your genetics will determine how tall you are.
