Answers:
122 is probably right on the edge of thin/average!.
its deffinatly not overweight!.
but its hard to say if youre thin or not cuz we all have diffrent body types!.
you could be 140 lbs!. at your height and still not be overweight you could be all muscle!.
but anyways, its hard to say but you sound fine!.
im sure your thin and gorgeous so dont worry =]Www@Answer-Health@Com

So many of us eat so much more and are so much less active than previous generations that many of the height/weight measures for BMI seem strange or outdated!. I suspect your teacher is using standards that have not been adjusted for our calorie endowed generation!. Most of us just have a few extra pounds which is nothing to be afraid of but we just don't compare in leanness to the less well fed generation before us!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hi Lexi (that's my name too) :D

When I was 14 I was 5'8 and 128 lbs (6 lbs bigger than you) and my doctor said that I was at perfect weight!. Of course, I thought I was too skinny as well!.
To be honest, I don't know what a "perfect weight" is because many doctors and teachers say so many different things!.
But as long as you are healthy, you ARE at perfect weight!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Your gym teachers horrible!.
Your weight is deffinately not above "acceptable" range!.
Your teacher must either be horribly skinny or just a ***** who wants to give everyone some body image issues!.

But no you're not above any acceptable range!.
Your at a fine weight!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well weight has nothing to do with how old you are!.
But it does have to do with height!.
well I am 5'8 also and I am 115
But every one says I'm too thin
So probably 118-120 is a good weight
so no, you are not overweight!. That teacher is weird!. hahaWww@Answer-Health@Com

you can't go by any tape!. i am a male 6' foot the tape says i am to weigh 165 lbs!. i would look like a zipper if i stuck out my tongue!. if you feel good an you look good to your self don't worry about what a stupid tape says!. i think122 at 5'8'' is darn good!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

he might just mean for your age!. not your body type!. you seem to be pretty tall for your age so weighing 122 is perfectly normal!. in fact its a bit under what you should weighWww@Answer-Health@Com

Uh, if you're 5'8", you should weigh about 130-140!. I mean, it depends on your bone structure and stuff, but I'd think you were a bit underweight!.!.!. what the heck!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think its very normal, your weight, that is!. Also, thin would be considered something like 100 lbs!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

my sister is 15 and only 5'3" she weighs about 115 so i think for your hight 122 is a good weight thin would most likely be around 110-115 but that is if you are like size 1Www@Answer-Health@Com

if you are 5'8" and weigh 122 then your BMI would be 18!.5 so you are healthy

any thing under 18!.5 would actually be UNDERweight Www@Answer-Health@Com

No thats fine!. Your at the 26th percentile!. 50 percent is average!. You are healthy and prob looking good!. Im me soccerboy82000!. :) --AndrewWww@Answer-Health@Com

umm if your 5'8'' and weigh 122 then umm your skinny

so your gym teacher can suck it haha :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

there is no way in 100 years she would have said that
i think someone might have an eating disorder
