Okay, I'm about 107 pounds and I'm about 5' 2 1/2 ", I'm a little scared because I don't know if I'm over weight. My friends say its because I grew up drinking tons of milk, and that It's my bone mass. I'm not fat but I'm scared that I weigh a bit much for a (almost) seventh grader.

Okay, I know I probably shouldn't have asked some people on a website but I know I'm healthy and all that, I just needed other opinions before I talk to a doctor or something.
Sorry if my question seemed kind of "out there" for a website like this.

In seventh grade I was also 5'2 and I weighed 120 lbs. And I didn't look particularly fat. You are at a normal weight, and it is normal to put on a little weight at your age also because you are developing (aint puberty fun).
If you are concerned about your weight, be concerned not for the way you look (which sounds like it is fine anyway) but about your health. Drinking milk is great for you. Eat lots of fruit and veggies, eat only when you are hungry, and stop when you are full. Get some exercise several times a week (with sports, riding your bike, walking , whatever). And keep in touch with your dr and/or a nutritionist rather than asking your peers. Some questions are great for your friends, but your friends don't know any more about this than you do.
Good luck!

You're normal for you. Avoid the junk food and the high carb food, and you won't have to worry. My Mom is 5'2" and about 110 lbs, and no one would call her overweight. You may just be a little ahead of schollmates, but you'll slow down and they'll catch up.

Your weight is fine since you are probably taller than most of your friends. I'm 5'4" and a few pounds lighter than you and everyone thinks I'm insanely skinny. So give or take, you're kind of like a mini me (haha just kidding!). So don't worry.

If you feel bad, you should know first of all, that we all come in different sizes!! second of all, find someone to talk to and you might want to talk to your doctor about your concerns.
