    Am I over weight?
    I am 11 years old and I weigh 125 pounds. Am I over weight? I feel and look like it. And I always get teased.

    It depends on your height as well.

    125 is definitely not overweight for someone of that height. I'm 5 foot 6 and 125 and am perfectly normal, even on the skinny side of things. Even at 5 foot, 125 is just fine and is not considered overweight. Ignore what other people are telling you, you have no need to be self conscious about your weight.

    First big difference in 5 ft and 5 ft 4, sounds like you need to measure yourself.

    But no it does not sound like it. Remember kids pick on other kids, if it was not this, it would be something,

    No, you are just right! The kids that are teasing you are just jealous because you have a beautiful shape.
