Is it normal if you are 12 years old and weigh 118 pounds and you look skinny and everyone says so but you weigh a lot?

If you're eating right, exercising right and in reasonable health, don't worry about it. Unfortunately, today's entertainment media is focusing a lot on body image. Just be grateful that you're healthy, growing and doing well. Remember that muscle mass weighs more than fat and that nothing is more attractive than someone who has good muscle tone.

There are quite a few people who have a very low body fat content but are technically overweight if you just look at the charts. Stay active and eat well. That's the best thing you can do for yourself.

AnswerYou don't weight too much. Be careful when comparing yourself to magazine models and other friends. Weight is determined by a lot of factors, including muscle mass, bone structure and unique body traits. If you eat right and get exercise, you can be healthy for a lifetime. Learn to love who you are and don't obsess about your weight. That can lead to eating disorders and years of pain.
