How is a teen girl supposed to know her body frame size?

• You know how on those height-weight chart it shows the weight range for a small, medium and large frame? Well how do you know what frame you have? Cause I'm trying to figure out how much I should weigh but it's like totally different if I have a big frame instead of a small one. What frame am I supposed to have??? Girls, not to be too personal, but what's your height, weight and measurements? Do you know your frame size? I'm just asking cause I wanna know if I'm average or what, and you know, you don't wanna ask your friends this stuff cause it's like embarrassing to tell somebody in person how much you weigh and all. So please be honest. T.y. =)

• Answer:

  Your frame size is determined by the circumference of your wrist and elbow in relation to your height. Wrap your thumb and index finger around your wrist: if the fingers overlap you are a small frame; if your fingers just about touch your are a medium frame; if your fingers don't touch you are a large frame. The frame you are supposed to have is the frame you have; one frame isn't superior or inferior to the other. It's important if you have a smaller frame to weigh less than if you had a larger one because your body isn't as capable of supporting the extra weight, and if you have a large frame you need to weigh more so that you aren't just skin and bones. You can't really determine what the average height and weight is for a girl your age by a poll on Y!A, or know whether it's the right size for you, so please just take all the info you gather here with a grain of salt. I'm 5'9 1/2 and have an exceptionally small body frame. The circumference of my wrist is just five inches and my elbows are 2 inches. I weigh 110 pounds and my measurements are 35-24-35, and it's a fine weight for me because of my frame, but I think it would look very unhealthy on most people my height. Just focus on being as healthy and happy with the body you have. ~ Pax / Peace : )
