Question: I am 16, 5' 8'' and weight 114, Am i underweight?
I am a 16 year old boy, i am 5 feet, 8 inches, (a little under 8 inches) and i weigh around 113 in the morning, and 115 at night. Am i underweight, or should i maintain this current weight, because im not very skinny

Answers:

I am 13, 5' 8" and 125 pounds. But I run a lot and am pretty strong. If you say that you aren't very skinny then 114 is perfect. Don't go against nature. Eventually you will thicken up, unless being lightweight runs in your family.



Yeah you are underweight. Unless you have a ridiculously small frame, you should gain weight.

Or if you have not yet hit puberty, it's normal to be scrawny.



I'd say for your height and age, you are definitely a little underweight. Eat something, lol. But have some type of exercise program. Some mild weight-lifting and cardio. Or try building muscle mass if you are so inclined.



yes, you are very underweight



Ya you should try and beef up a little.



yesss! im a girl, 5'2 N 114
