No, that's fine. But if you wanted to lower it, try doing strength training exercises such as squats, lunges, crunches and lifting weights, as well as eating 80-100g of protein a day.

Teen Female Body Fat %

Essential Fat: 12%-15%
Athletic: 16%-19%
Health: 20%-28%
Overfat: 29%-32%
Obese: 33%+

its like a couple percent higher than it should be. women/girls should have 18-22% while men are supposed to have around 15%. this is just average though
