15 % body fat for a fifteen year old girl is too low or is it healthy ?!
Question: I guess it depends. Are you underweight or just muscular and lean? If you have a healthy amount of lean body mass, then a low body fat percentage can be okay....although I wouldn't go any lower than this or you can end up with various health issues.

way to low.. at least 20% to keep your period regular and to stay healthy
That's lower than normal, but it's probably okay! If you're getting your period normally and are eating correctly and getting the necessary nutrients, that's actually really good! Athletes tend to have lower body fat than most, so that could explain why it's lower.
But of course, if you're really worried have your parents schedule an appointment with a doctor or nutritionist. They will know better than just a bunch of random people online.
that is dangerously too low. And if you have to ask if it is too low, that means you are trying to justify it in some way. That's way to low! I lost my period at a body mass index (BMI) of 17.
