Wondering about body fat percentage?

I am 14 years old about 5' 10" and about 145-150 lbs. We did a body fat percentage test in my class and I got 22.2% body fat and a bmi of about 21. I was wondering if that is normal or bad for me. I am not really big or fat and I'm pretty much just normal throughout. Thank You.

2. Sounds like you have low lean mass because although you have high body fat, your weight is obviously quite low. You could try eating more protein in your diet and do strength training a few days a week.
