Answers: i really think that i am fat cause my other friends are all so well.. skin and bones
First of all, since you are so young, your first priority is just eating healthy food. Your body size will change a lot in the coming years, as will your metabolism. Rather than dieting, fretting, and denying yourself the foods you crave, try "addition." By "addition" I mean try to find nutritious foods that you are happy to add to your meals. You don't have to give anything up, just keep finding more and more healthy choices to include in every meal. You will feel better both mentally and physically, and cravings for the "bad" stuff will not be as bad.
A similar approach is possible with exercise. Rather than forcing yourself to do workouts you come to hate, do as many activities as you can find that you enjoy. That may not add up to much of what a fitness guru would consider a proper workout, but you'll keep your mind and body active and happy. The serious workouts can wait for the future.
I know. I know. You're still gonna obsess about your size, aren't you? Well, you're not alone. Almost all gals do. Most guys don't give it a second thought. So unfair, huh? Just keep in mind that opinions about beauty vary considerably from one era to the next, from one culture to the next, and even from one person to the next. If you let worrying about your appearance rule your life, you will always be able to find something to paralyze you with fear. Believe me, there is always SOMETHING you can drive yourself crazy worrying about.
So, before you consider my closing section on measurements, please try to look at all this with some good humor. It's not all that important.

Your percent body fat is much more meaningful than weight.
Many things affect weight, and there are both advantages and disadvantages to having a little more or less weight.
There are three types of body fat measuring.
The simplest type are devices that pinch your skin to measure the "fatty layer" that lines your skin. These are a very poor way of measuring your absolute body fat percentage; because, many factors affect the fatty layer. However, once you do have an accurate measure, this simple pinching method is a good way of checking whether you are trending toward more fat or less during the times between the more accurate reading.
The second type measures the electrical resistance of your body. You grab the handholds on each side, and a meter then tells you your percent body fat based on how well your body conducts electricity. This method can claim great accuracy, but there still is the question of initial calibration. Is there something about your body chemistry that makes you a better conductor than the next person? To be sure, you really need to get the third type of measurement at least once.
The third method is an underwater scale that is used to compare your weight submerged in water to your weight on land. This is an excellent way of discerning the ratio of fat to muscle in your body. Unfortunately, this is is the hardest type of measure to find. Ask a doctor, sports trainer, or health club if they know where you can get this type of measurement.
I think your weight is fine.

Who wants to be skin and bones?!?
no that is a normal healthy weight. :)
Search BMI calculator on google and check there.

You are a healthy weight.
heck no. lol skin and bones
You're okay, forget about it.
It's alright... I'm 14 5'5" and I only weight 100lbs. and im a guy...
Thing to remember - NEVER compared yourself to your friends.
You're fine - you're a growing girl. Your weight's often odd, especially if you're starting puberty.
(( &honestly, how does being skin&bones sound healthy? ))
Are'nt you two young to worry about your weight. Wait untill your 14 then you should worry.
no girls at that age should be 94.5-100lbs
You're healthy. They're anorexic. Not the same as being fat.
your fine!!! god why do you people always think that youre over weight
far from fat... dont worry about it, it sounds like ur friends need to build themselves up a bit... all in good time for them too though...
It's perfect!
you are the perfect weight. you are just shorter so you LOOK fat.
noooooooooooooooooooooo im more and im 4'9" like tons more, ur perfectt
84 is a normal weight for someone your age, but you sound like you might be a late spurter, talk to your doctor about your height, and how it affects your weight range.
You are normal, if not skinny. Please, DO NOT feel the pressure to lose weight. You can stunt your growth. Girls grow out, and then up.
look sweetie....people are different in many ways. you may grow up more and slender down. dont worry about your weight. youre way too young to start thinking about your weight! :D
yeh its fine. im sure u look lovely.
actually, it's too LESS. 12 year old girls should be weighing aboutt....... 120-135 pounds.
omfg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!... u were any Skinner u would be skin and bones omfg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ur not fat at all!
Man..if you're seriously 84lbs...you're mum needs to start paying attention to you because that's unhealthy. Eat..it doesn' t kill yah..
LOL, you are fine.. and why would you want to look like you are skin and bones?? LOL

that is no way, no how at all fat. See what the media has done to kids? (i'm a kid) It's completely skewed their perception of their own bodies. More for girls but basically all around... i don't even know how to say it. =P
