Is this normal?

I'm 11 and about 5'2". I weigh about 90-95 pounds...is that normal?

hmm well the weight is normal
I'm average size, 55 inches, which translates to 4'7" so yeah you might be tall but

I'd say it's normal.

As long as you're neither emaciated or obese, you don't need to worry about weight.

You're healthy for a 11 year old, Don't worry.

I agree with this

you're fine don't worry c:

No she's underweight a little,that's probably due to high metabolism.
gaining 5 pounds would be great.

It depends on your height, though.

read the bmi chart I know it depends on your height and a normal weight for a 5'2 is 100- 130 lbs.

@Ulflette
Eh, BMI charts aren't really useful, especially the ones you find online. For actual human weight at least. I personally only use them for more accuracy on characters that I make for roleplays.

Anyways, like Jeff said, you don't have to worry about your weight as long as you're not obese or really underweight. Another important thing is if you feel healthy. (No, you don't need to be able to run for a mile straight to feel healthy, nor do you need a completely healthy diet. If you don't get sick too often, and if you can do a few things throughout the day aside from sleeping and getting on your computer/tablet/phone, you should be okay! Obviously, there's a few other things, but yeah. uvu)

yeah thats why I said about metabolism because I dont trust BMI myself.

poop

Yeah, it's normal and healthy as long as you're eating enough and all of that stuff.
BMI charts/calculators don't really work as different people have different body types and such. ;`;

The problem with BMI though is it doesn't calculate muscle mass, bone density, race, sex, etc. making it not very accurate at all ;o


She should be fine really, though I'd be worried about her health if she weighed any less.

I think you're underweight by three to five pounds, as I'm shorter than you and I weigh 93 pounds, and my doctor says my weight is fine. I don't think it's a big problem, just try eating a bit more.
