You should be eating about 2500-3000 a day you so young enjoy life
no but 3500 or more would be
it also depends on how active and athletic you are
im 15 5'7'' also and weigh 117 i eat around 3250 calories per day, when im trying to gain weigth and that much doesn't do it i add 250 calories per week
No, but if you feel your gaining weight, limit yourself to 1800. But 1500 - 2500 is just fine since your so young and still growing.
It would depend on how active you are but for most teenagers I don't think its too much.
not if your only 120 lbs., it depends on how much your body needs and if your burning more that that a day
Every kid is different...ask his/her dr...but as the parent if you write EVERYTHING down you can get a better idea of good/bad calories in that 2000 they are eating. If it is 2000 cal of fruits and veggies and protiens it is okay but if it is junk than its not. And there must be EXCERCISE involved no matter how many cal. Good luck!
NO!

Erm,did you know that at your age(not girls though,just boys)should be eating 3000 calories a day?!?!If you're active,add 300 to those and if you're a couch potato,well then 2500 should do!
Yes, it's fine as long as you aren't gain weight. 2000 calories is what you are suppose to eat.
way too much its should be around 1600
