Is it normal to be 15, 5' 4" and weigh 113-114.5 lbs?

I was reading some articles, and most girls my age and height, weighed 120-130lbs. Am I underweight? I don't even look that skinny!

I have a small stomach and med-thick thighs. My aunt even told me that she thinks that I at least lost a few pounds since I last saw her!

Should I see a doctor?

TeaLady agony auntYou should see a doctor if YOU are concerned or not feeling well or think you have any issues or worries at all. Also, when was your last physical? See a doctor every year at least and talk to your parents or trusted adults about your concerns.

dirtball agony auntI agree, you sound completely normal. Maybe a little underweight but nothing to be concerned about.

"I don't even look that skinny!" Compared to what? Models? They are walking skeletons. NOT attractive in my book.

I don't think you need to worry at all. Your body is still going through a lot of changes, and it will be a few years before you know whether there is a specific problem. You sound like a normal girl.

If that article is right then you're only 5 LBS under. Don't worry about it everyone is different. When I was your age I was 5'6 150 LBS and I was told I was to fat by some people and just right by others. I'm still the same height and weight six years later. Just love who you are. As long as your not dangerously underweight I think you're fine. : )
