How much should a 12-year-old girl weight?

Is this a average weight for a 17 year old girl?

  • Hi! I was just curious on whether this is the normal weigh. I am 5"5 and I weigh 103lbs, is that an average weight for a 17 year old girl? My girl-friends will constantly tell me I am too thin and I should gain weight,or that I resemble a skeleton.However the doctor that I go to says I am at a healthy weight. I just would like others opinions on this. Most of my friends weight around 120lbs same height as me. But, is my weight normal? ~Zoe

It's technically underweight, but if that's where your body is NATURALLY (aka you're eating a healthy amount of food--1800-2000 calories per day and you're not working out excessively) than I wouldn't worry about it! Some people are just naturally thinner than others. If YOU'RE happy with your body, than don't change it just because other people think it's "too skinny". If you do want to gain weight, just try to up your intake and cut back on high intensity/cardio focused exercises.

There is no "average" weight for anyone. We are all different sizes and builds
