What is the average weight...?!
Question:
What is the average weight...?
Okay, so I'm 12 and I'm 5' 3'' and I weigh around 103 pounds. Is this overweight? I'm wondering because some of my friends at school are like only 80 pounds. So I was wondering if my weight is okay.

Go to this website www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/bmi
Select Child and Teen BMI Calculator
Answer the questions (birth date, todays date, boy/girl, height, weigh)
It will tell you your BMI, the percentile your BMI is in compared to other girls your age, and if you are at a healthy weight.
Also, talk to your mom about your results, she can help you understand them better.
BTW, from what I can tell you are at a health weight. A healthy weight is determined not only by how much you weigh, but also by how tall you are. Are your friends shorter than you, that may be why they weigh less.
I hope this helps.
