Answers:

Yeah everyone is different. You should concentrate on other things than your weight you are too young to allow that to affect you. You should also give a lot of credit to your height. I was 5'4 when I was 11 and I weighed 112. So you've got two inches of bones to account for. When I weighed that I was under the impression that I was fat but looking back at old pictures I was not. My legs were thin and my waist was small. Because I allowed a scale to run my life it has affected me mentally for so many years. I'm now 20 and I still allow this too affect me. Just don't try to live up to impossible standards of what you see on t.v and magazines. Keep in mind that those people are airbrushed and their bodies are their job so they have trained proffesionals to help them look like that. It's not real. Just try to stay active drink water and enjoy being 14.
