I am 5'6" and I weigh 128. I vary between 125-130. She is in the normal range. If you are within your normal BMI (body mass index), then you shouldn't worry too much. If she still has a problem, tell her to work out. That's what I do to even stay the weight that I am.

Depends on your biuld. Some people are 150 and chubby, some are 250 and toned. But accross the board no. My gf is 5-5 120 and a rail.

No. But about 12 to 20 lbs more and she would be considered borderline. If she's complaining about it, help her to make healthy choices. Or do so for the entire family. It can't hurt. (Of course, you might be already) Assure her that her weight is average and that she is still growing!

No, she's not. When I was 12, I was at about the same height/weight. A lot of girls her age are kind of lanky. She's probably just growing past the "lanky" stage quicker than they have.

She needs to stop looking at the scrawny pop stars. She's LUCKY! I'm 5'6" and well....add another 25. She's even on the skinny side based on her BMI. Show her the BMI chart on line.

Not sure! I'm about "5","4" and I'm 120 pounds.(I'm 11) And I am about 20-30 pounds overweight.

that is not overweight at all. in fact, it mite be considedred underweight. she is falling under the standards set by the ignorant media, and has nothing to worry about realisically.

check a BMI thing. (Body Mass Index.) I'm too lazy to find one but I'm sure if you search Free BMI on Yahoo! you'll come up with something.
