Oh my God! No, they were being f**ktards who should probably enjoy a good evening of electro-shock to get them back on track as people.
If you're a 5'7" female, you should weigh anywhere between 127 and 159 pounds. That would be considered ideal, so the other user (and if you can contact her through her question, please do so) was thin, and you're actually a bit underweight.
I don't care what anyone else says, you're NOT supposed to be able to see the outline of your skeleton, and women are SUPPOSED to be hippy.
Guys really need to spend a bit more time perusing their Boticelli and learning to appreciate the beauty the female form was supposed to possess.
You're fine, girl. Anyone who tells you you're fat either doesn't know what they're talking about, or they're just being malicious. In either case, you shouldn't bother listening to them. =)

If you translate your weight and height into your Body Mass Index (BMI) then you have a score of 18.8 and 19.4 (based on 2 different tests) which puts you in the normal weight range
BMI is a measure of how much fat a body has, you can find the BMI calculators here: http://nhlbisupport.com/bmi/ and here: http://apps.nccd.cdc.gov/dnpabmi/Calculator.aspx
I think people were being cruel to the other girl, for her to have been overweight from a clinical point of view, she'd have to weight 155 pounds. In fact, 5'6 and 127 pounds is a good healthy weight.
Neither yourself or the other girl should be worried about your weights and if you are at all concerned then speak in person with a health care professional.

Anyone who thought a girl 5'6 and 127 lbs. should be considered fat was obviously an idiot. It's also terrible that at the age of 12 you should have to be worried about that already. My daughter is 13 and about 5'5. She weighs 105 lbs. and could stand to gain a few lbs. and still would not be fat so don't even start thinking crap like that! I'm sure you are just as beautiful as she is and at 5'7 sounds like you've got modeling potential to me. Good luck!

You are a healthy weight for your height. The other girl was also still within the healthy weight range, although a little closer to the top of that range for her height. Neither of you is fat.

All you have to do is check your BMI (body mass index)
Go on this website http://apps.nccd.cdc.gov/dnpabmi/Calculator.aspx
and type in your age, weight, height and it will tell you the NORMAL size you should be.
p.s. that girl is in the average range for her height 115-145lbs

People just looked at the weight for that question. Figuring out if you're overweight, average, or underweight uses BMI- body mass index. It compares weight to height. By the way, if you want me to figure out if you're "fat" or not, I need to know your waist measurement.
-results are in! you're in a healthy weight (average)

No, you are not fat. I am 5' 7" and about 125 lbs and everybody tells me I'm skinny. The other girl is not fat either.

Shut up and forget about it. Just eat a cheeseburger and be glad you still a kid. When you get to be a teenager then you can worry about catty girls calling you fat. They are just jealous because you and your friend look better than them.
