your at a normal weight, look at this chart

your a kid and i think it's sad that you have to woory about this. so just eat right and exercise / walks and don't woory about it anymore

Please, do not start worried about weight until your my age... 21. That is when your not a kid anymore, and life starts to really come at you!... For now, just enjoy being a kid. If you really can't stop worrying about weight, join school sports. I did school sports all the way up threw my senior year of high school, and I stayed healthy and fit the whole time. I never worried about weight, and I ate whatever I wanted... chips, cookies, fast food.. you name it. And I never gained a pound!

You seem to be the correct weight from my memories growing up. Play team sports, it will help you keep your confidence at a positive level.

It's so hard to answer this question as (a) everyone has a unique bone structure/body shape and (b) it can take until you are around 18 years old for your body to stop growing! So, it might be difficult to get an accurate idea of if you are underweight or overweight (I seriously doubt the latter).

I would simply ask yourself for the time being what is your lifestyle like? Are you eating healthy meals and avoiding snacks? Are you getting enough exercise (differs, but generally 1/2 hr of strenuous exercise 3 times weekly is good)? Are you smoking/drinking (hopefully, you won't be!)?

I think there is increasing pressure on people to conform to a set preconception of what is beautiful. This generally means being skinny and plastic. But, corny as it's gonna sound, real beauty isn't about being size 0 or having enormous boobs - it's about who you are and your own confidence in yourself. To heck with what other people think, as long as you are happy.

And I think that if you are healthy, active in fitness and headstrong, that should be enough for anyone...

All the best from this Biscuit
