Hi Lala,
The Joint National Committee defines four blood pressure categories.
Very High Range – Stage 2 Hypertension
Systolic (top) blood pressure 160 mm Hg or high
Diastolic (bottom) blood pressure 100 mm Hg or higher
If in this range you have hypertension (high blood pressure).
High Range – Stage 1 Hypertension
Systolic (top) blood pressure 140 – 159 mm Hg
Diastolic (bottom) blood pressure 90 – 99 mm Hg
If in this range you have hypertension (high blood pressure).
Caution Range – Prehypertension
Systolic (top) blood pressure 120 – 139 mm Hg
Diastolic (bottom) blood pressure 80 – 89 mm Hg
Take action!
Normal Range – Normal
Systolic (top) blood pressure below 120 mm Hg
Diastolic (bottom) blood pressure below 80 mm Hg
Perfect!
All the best,

7 Natural Ways to Lower Blood Pressure – http://www.lisanelsonrd.com/naturalwaystolowerbloodpressure.html
Normal systolic blood pressure is less than 120. The blood pressure tends to be slightly lower in teens depending on their age, gender and height. Therefore your systolic blood pressure is slightly higher than it should be and is considered to be in the pre-high blood pressure or prehypertension range. Many things can temporarily increase the blood pressure, therefore not too much should be taken by a single blood pressure reading. Your blood pressure should be checked several times to determine if it is persistently in this range. Pre-high blood pressure requires no treatment but does increase your risk of developing high blood pressure in the future. You should have your blood pressure monitored periodically for this reason. There are also many changes you can help to help improve your blood pressure and prevent it from getting higher. Eat a healthy well balanced diet full of fruits and vegetables and low in salt and saturated fats. Aerobic exercise regularly will also help. If you are overweight, then you should try to lose some weight. Good luck.
