My cousin is obese and is always talking about how skinny i am & saying i have a white girl body. I'm acctually trying to lose about 5-10 lbs, but i'm just wondering if i'm really skinny like she says i am. Then the other day my dad said i should lose weight because it looks like i'm getting chubby.
I'm 15 years old
5'2"
& 113 lbs.

You would have to weigh 150 pounds to be overweight (at 5' 2')
101 pounds is UNDER weight for your height.
You may get taller still, so if you want to check to see if you are under or over you can check on WebMd.com

No, dear. You're just right. For a female of average build, height 5'0" the ideal body weight is 100 lbs. For each inch taller than 5' you can add 5 lbs. So your ideal body weight (if you have an average body frame) is 110 lbs. Don't listen to your dad or your cousin... they are both wrong and you don't need to be obsessed with your weight. Perhaps they are comparing your body to their own. If an obese person sees themself as normal, then of course everyone else in the world must look extremely thin...

Um, I think that depends on what you want to look like. If you want to be a professional dancer or athlete, then yeah, you're about 15 pounds too heavy. But for a normal person, sure, you're fine. Normal, not skinny. Don't go on some crash diet intended for really fat people. If you want to trim up, go for it. But you aren't fat, not at all!

You are perfectly fine the way you are. Just exercise and eat right and you'll be fine. Don't worry about what other people think about you because there's always gonna be somebody somewhere who doesn't like you. So love yourself and forget about anything anyone else has to say about you.

You're about my size; I'm 5'3" and I'm usually 110 - 115 lbs.
You're a healthy thin. Don't try to lose weight.

Actually, you're not overweight. It goes by your BMI (body mass index) You are actually at 51% which is perfectly normal.

Sounds like you are in good shape, but not too skinny.
