Am I overweight for 7th grade?

Question

I'm a 12 year old girl. I'm 5'7 and weigh from 122-126 (it changes a lot). Is that overweight? I am very insecure about my legs and butt.

Answer 1

5'7 normal weight is 125to 158. Since you are tall, you aren't overweight. At the age of 12, you are probably reaching puberty and have these thoughts and is totally normal. If you eat healthy, exercise regularly, and goes for annual checkup, then you should be fine. Your doctor would be a better advisor for you since I don't know your full medical history. In USA there's a standard Body mass index (BMI) that indicates either you are healthy or or not. You can search it up to compare your BMI to the rest of the USA.
