My Sister is 14 1/2 and weighs 130 pounds?!

a tad ya

I guess it would depend on how tall she was, but it does sound a little heavy if she isnt over 5' 4''

healthy foods and being honest will determin weather she has some physical problems like a thyroid problem

It depends on her height but she sounds normal to me.

Quit harping on her about it. She is still going through puberty. Her body will keep changing for a couple years still.

Depends on how tall she is. A little overweight if she is under 5' 2", way over weight if she is 4' 6", but if she is 5' 8" she is a little underweight.

I would expect she thinks you are a tad of a busy body and should mind your own business.

It all depends on her height. If shes a shortie, yeah shes overweight.. but if she's 5'7 or over shes fine

idk
cuz when i was 14 i weighed like 98-105

depends how tall she is. 130 is not overweight for the average height.

No.. she doesn't sound like she's over weight. She is just a growing girl. Every person is diffrent. Why are you so worried about what your sister weght is? Just be kind to her and encourage her.

At her age a lot of girls have a little extra weight. I certainly did. Once I got to about 17 the weight started dropping off on it's own. Her body is going through many changes right now. 130 pounds isn't overweight for her age anyway for the average height girl of 14. She sounds pretty normal and healthy. You want honesty so you'll get it. She is normal! Why on earth are you so concerned about her weight anyway? It's very judgmental of you. I hope you don't give her a hard time about this because that will only cause her to feel bad about herself. She's at a vulnerable age and needs to feel loved and secure. Even if you were to tell her that she's "just a tad" overweight or she "needs to lose weight for her health" (a common statement to young girls) that could really start a spiral into an eating disorder that will either cause her to lose more weight or put on a lot of weight (binge eating). You need to be concerned with loving her the way she is. People who feel good about themselves often take good care of themselves and their bodies.

It really depends on height. I was probably around 130 at that age, and I wasn't fat - I looked pretty slim because I was tall and already developed.

Besides, what's it to you what your sister weighs? She's just fourteen. Give her a break and stop talking about weight, that's how eating disorders start. If you're really concerned than go jogging together a couple of times a week or something, don't be a jerk about it.

Why are you bothered? Is she unhealthy? Is she unhappy with her weight? Or her body image? The media is full of images of skinny women, but the truth is most are just plain old average. And average can be pretty gorgeous. Curves are nice, you see. As long as your sister is happy and healthy why not concern yourself with, well, yourself.

Aww how sweet! Anyway I do think that it depends on the persons body tipe.
