Weight problem!!?!
Question: okay.. so my sister Addy's daughter, Jenna (my niece) is eleven years old. She is 5 feet, 5 inches, and is 85 pounds. She says that she looks fat. Whenever she lets loose, her waist is roughly about 20 inches around (from hip, to back, around the stomach, and back to the hip) . Shes wondering if she is overweight. I dn't know if she is or isn't. her birthday is coming up and she wants neeew clothes, so she says if she is over weight, then i should buy her a size less then sshe already has. she gets custom jeans of a size 12 in girls waist, and size 14 in girls legnth. her shirts are size 7/8 in girls, ALMOST a 9/10, but only because of the legnth of the edge of the shirt, not the width. i dont know what to tell her because if she is overweight, i don't wanna hurt her feelings because me and her are really close. is she overweight?

i know that you are not trying to criticize her or be stereotypical..she is 11 and 5'5" she is quite tall for her age and she may only be asking if she is over weight because she wants you to tell her that she is skinny..no she is not overweight the average weight for an 11 year old is about 95 pounds, so no she is not overweight her body has been growing upwards and has probably not caught up to her to grow outwards.
she's actually REALLY underweight. at 5'5 she should be about 120 pounds.
Are you seriously asking if she's overweight?
She is RIDICULOUSLY UNDERWEIGHT.
Give her a burger
If this is true, you could look at her and know she is not overweight. 5'5''? Im 5'5'' and if I was 85 pounds my family would hold an intervention for me so I wouldnt DIE!
she is no where near overwegith she is indanger of getting sick tell her to gain plzz
this is probably you, and if it is you are wayyy underweight. don't ask questions like this, it's just stupid.
SHe's not overweight!! Shes under weight!! and tall!!!
SHE IS SERIOUSLY UNDERWEIGHT!
WHY WOULD YOU EVEN BE ASKING THIS QUESTION!
One of the ways of knowing if a child is overweight is quite frankly looking at them. But to some people they love the person so much that they don't want to believe the child is overweight. But in your case, your niece is extremely underweight.. she needs to be around 110-120 lbs. to be healthy. it is very unhealthy for an 11 year old with the height that you gave.. to be that weight.. you need to explain to her.. that everybody is diffenet and nobody can look like someone else.. Buy her the size that she wears nothing different. Encourage her to be happy with her body. Encourage her to at least gain some more weight. Because if she doesn't when she gets older she might suffer major complications with her body. Telling her she needs to gain some weight might be the best thing you could ever do for her :]
