What is the average weight for a 15 year old 5'2 girl?!


Question:

What is the average weight for a 15 year old 5'2 girl?

Hello!
If you've seen me post before about my height, I still have some questions about it.

I want to know what the average weight for a 15 year old 5'2 girl is?

I am just around 124- am I considered fine?

I have a large-boned structure [but not too big] and I wanted to know, even, what weight I could be to seem more skinny.

I don't find myself too skinny, and too tall and I'm kind of upset with it.

My height as well is very short. I hate being so short.
When I measure my height at home with a 12 inch ruler it says that I am a little over 5'0. At the doctor's office, I am around 5'3.

And since I have an under active thyroid condition and don't exercise too much or drink water at the least, I think that I may only grow to be 5'3.

My goal is 5'4 or 5'5. Since I am still growing at the age of 14 [my birthday is in a month so I will be 15], with an un-balanced vegetarian diet though, will I grow more?

And is it okay to consider a nutritionist for me?

Thanks!


Answers:

Since you are large-boned, your ideal weight right now should be anywhere between 125 to 137 pounds, so at 124 pounds you're just fine. As for your height, growth continues until about the age of 20 years, so you might expect to be about 5'4'' to 5'7'' when you reach adulthood. My daughter is 17, was 5'2'' at age 15; now she's 5'4'', and from x-rays taken from her knees and pelvis, she could grow about 2 inches more until growth stops.
Of course, your thyroid condition might affect your growth pattern; must be closely monitored by your attending physician. And it's very important that you keep yourself well hydrated even if you don't exercise much.
