Answers:
okay answeres relax, the asker of this question is probably still in elementary school!.
and to answer your question, you are probably more muscular, and muscle weighs about 20% more than fat does, which could be the reason you weigh more than your friend who is the same height and age and size!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

BOTH of you are extremely underweight!. Unless of course, you and your friend's height is 4"6-4"8!.

I fail to see how 87 lbs is "heavy"!. And 70 lbs!?! Dear god! You do realize the consequences of starvation are devastating, and at that weight you run the risk of having a heart attack, not to mention having the appearance of a walking skeleton!.

That said, your friend is probably better toned!. "Skinny" does not always mean healthy!. You might have a lower muscle percentage, thus giving the different appearance!. This can occur at any weight!. So it's possible for some to be thin, and "heavy" looking!.

The answer is simple!. Just be healthy!. Exercise, and eat smart!. Anorexia is NOT the answer!. If you do these things, no matter what you will be healthy!. Your weight should be (at the lowest, 107 lbs anything less is pushing it!.)

PS As a parent I must wonder why on earth have your parents NOT done anything about this!?!?!!?! Or you're school!?!!? I am further disgusted by society, and the breakdown of families!. =(Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you're taller than she is you'll weigh more or you could have more muscle mass!. Muscle weighs more so if you're more muscular you'll look the same size but actually weigh more!. It's like a tennis ball and a golf ball!. The golf ball weighs more but is smaller in size!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You are probably taller, more muscular, bigger boned!.
Don't be too mad with it, you are very skinny (:
You can actually afford to add a couple pounds!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

U may have more muscle or store up fat in certain areas!.
There is no such thing as big boned, u only see the same size bones, not big masses of bones in humans like, super thick bones!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It is probably the height difference!?
Or maybe you have more muscle!?

Muscle weighs more than fat, but it doesn't really show!.

Hope i helped!.
