Answers:

You are actually slim with those numbers. Your BMI is at the low end of the safe range - it's 19.4 (adult scale, which is appropriate for someone of your height). Check it out at http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/.... You are tall for your age, but that's perfectly OK. I once taught a girl who at the age of 12 was taller than me (I'm 5'8"), but she was a great kid and a terriffic volleyball player.

So, you are not at all fat, chubby, chunky, porky, or any of those other adjectives. You are good - don't change things. Are you physically active? Can you play volleyball or basketball, where your height would bring an advantage to your team? How about other sports like track and field? (If not, could you learn?) Accept yourself as OK - keep telling yourself that you're OK, and laugh off any negative comments about your height. Don't let them be of any importance to you.
