Answers:
Your BP is really on a bit high scale. Cut down on oily and junk food, caffeinated cold drinks,milk products and non-vegeratian food until your BP becomes normal. Try to live on fruits, salad and fruit juices once a week avoiding total cooked food and see the difference. You salt intake should also be monitored. Drink enough water. If constipated, correct your bowl movements.
Best of health,

Yes. Thats a lil high for a child.
The blood pressure is too high for a 15 year old. He should be examined and determine what is causing this.
For a 15yr old this is hypertension. Needs to exercise and loose weight. Change eating habits-no junk food(which is hard when 14). Buy a BP cuff at drug store to check his progress.
The top number in the blood pressure is on the high side. When you take blood pressure, take it in the morning, maybe an hour after rising, and BEFORE you do any physical activity. Do not drink anything with caffeine in it. Taking blood pressure after caffeine or activity will raise the numbers, so I'd retake it to make sure you did it correctly. At your age, the top number should be around 120. That is the pressure of your blood when it pumps. The bottom number is the pressure in your bloodstream between heart beats, and that number is okay.
You can easily "fix" your blood pressure with healthy diet and a little daily exercise. Avoid caffeine and junk food.
Obviously you are speaking of CM and Kg.
No that blood pressure is fine for anyone.
You really only worry about the bottom number.
The top number is the "systolic" that is when the heart is actually pushing blood and is only momentarily.
The bottom number is the diastolic and is the pressure that is constantly there.
When the bottom number gets to 90-100 consistently you start to watch it.
Anything over 100 the Doctor may want to prescribe BP medication.
Also the scale for the sphygmomanomter (BP CUFF) is incremented in 2 mmHg for each small line.
It has always tickled me when someone gets an odd number.
138/(75)
