How much you should weigh is based on many factors. Height, weight, age, sex, and family patterns. For example, if your family has a lot of people who are heavy yet still fit & healthy, a few extra pounds may be "Normal" for you.

To get a general idea of what's healthy try using a BMI calculator like the one at CDC.com in the related links section below.

For more information regarding BMI calculations and teens please visit also the children's BMI page at the CDC in the related links section below.

And don't listen to girls your own age about what is or isn't overweight... they're just as lost and confused as you.
