Mine was 17.9 (18)... which technically means I am just underweight.

But its because I have a fast Metabolism

My BMI is 17.5. It says "If your BMI is less than 18.4 you are underweight for your height" So im underweight?

Technically yes, means your not the right weight for your height.

BMI is intended for people over the age of 18, so generally speaking if you're under 18 and have used the BMI calculator then it may not be correct.

Mines apparently 23.5 but its not accurate for me because I've got a lot of muscle.

The BMI is only a very rough guide. You get some top athletes who are classed as obese on the BMI, when as Tom says it doe not take muscle into account.
