Question: Is 123 pounds a good weight for a 5''8 15 year old girl?
Answers:

no; way to thin; if you do not put on weight and drink milk you could get some type of a "bone disorder like osteporosis; way too thin...the rule is

"5 # for every inch over 5 feet so if you are 5'8" you should weigh 140 !

(esp. if you are still growing you should try to weigh a little bit extra; eat high calorie nutrient dense foods like cottage cheese; walnuts; eggs)



that means your BMI would be about 18.7 which is just the right side of underweight. have a sandwich and don't worry about it

8.5 stone, sounds just about right to me. I bet a lot of girls wished they were that weight.



Very underweight for the height mentioned.



If your comfortable at that weight then yes it is.



I think so . Any weight is good



no, bit skinny. Eat something.
