I'm a 12 year old boy and I weigh 80 pounds......?!


Question: is that healthy? My dad says he's ashamed to look at me and says that I'm not a real man. I'm 5'2. My teachers comment on how small I am and people make fun of me.

That was me 3 years ago. I wasn't that tall but I was the same weight. Tell your dad to shut up. There is nothing more self-esteem lowering than mean comments from parents. You are fine. I'm now about 120 and 5'9". You'll be fine. Your weight doesn't decide if you're a man.

I think its normal. Im 14 and i weigh 90 ponds.
There are alot of ppl that are small and its just normal =]

your dad is mad because hes mad that you didnt turn out the way he expected, hes selfish. your teachers? PSHHHH its teachers, their lame/ and if people make fun of you, sock'em in the face, that'll show them AND the teachers. haha

ur dads a dick...

Yo its ok i was that small, and you will get ****** with forever................ jk no you will grow eventually, and everyone evens out in high school.

my daughter is 12 and shorter than that weighs 90 lbs. so i think you are tall and slim if you want to find out ask the doctor he knows best

I weigh 80 pounds too. I am 13 years old, and 5ft. I am a girl though so its a little bit different. Its a healthy weight for a girl, but as a boy, I think You are a little bit underweight. Just try to eat healthy. Don't listen to those kids that make fun of you. You will get taller, and bigger when you grow up.

Don't listen to your dad, or your teachers. Especially if your teachers are fat. Then they are just jealous. lol. If you like how you look then you have nothing to worry about. Do you eat enough? Some guys just have a really fast metabolism. So if you are eating enough, then your fine.

I read your last question. You need to tell someone about your dad. Tell someone, because the situation is getting out of hand. You can tell your friends, another relative, your friends parents, or a school counselor. They can help you. Its also your choice. If you don't want to live with your dad anymore, there are people that can help you. There are also people that can help you find your mother, If you want to live with her.

Hmm, I read some of your answers to other questions. Your father is worse then I thought. If you don't want to live with him anymore. You need to tell someone. He is abusive, and needs to go to jail. Try telling a friend who your close with. Was your mother nice to you? Social workers can help to find her. You can live with her instead.

I hope this helps
Best of Luck
