She is borderline underweight!. her bmi is 18!.5-- you can check it out at this link!.

She is only 14 and still growing, I'm sure so I wouldn't be too concerned- unless you notice that she's showing symptoms of an eating disorder-- anorexia or bulemia!. Just be there to encourage her, and if you do find she has an eating disorder, be sure to get her help!.!.

But I'm sure she's just really tiny and still growing- I was 75 lbs and 4'11 when I was 11 years old (I was really scrawny), but I grew out of it and developed the older I got!.

Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

dont base your opinion on weight and height!.

if she looks fat, then yeah, shes overweight!.
if she doesnt, then shes good!.

yeah never rely on the scale!. most are wrong anyway!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

5 feet = 100 lbs
for every inch after add 5 lbs

so 5'1" she should be around 105lbs!. She is fine the weight she is now!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

no she is not under or over weight for her age and height she should be no lower than 95lb and not over 125lb!. so she is good where she is!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
