According to the Department of Health and Human Services BMI calculator, you are at the edge of normal/UNDERrweight with a BMI of 18.5. Make sure you are eating healthy, following recommended guidelines, eating a balanced diet with protein, vegetables, fruits, etc. Talk to your parents and your doctor and make sure you are getting yearly blood work to make sure your nutrition level is balanced. And please, at age 12, quit stressing over body appearance, heck at any age. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, who really cares. It's what you see in the mirror that is the only opinion that counts. If someone says something to you about your appearance tell them this: Opinions are like (insert cuss word for rear end), everyone has one and they all smell like (the stuff that comes out of your rear end)!

108 pounds is probably a good weight. If anything, it's underweight, not overweight. If you are that concerned, Google "BMI Calculator".

are you crazy!! that is perfect at that age. i am guessing that you are between a size 2-4 what more do you want. i was about 5.1 or 2 and somewhere between 98-100lbs i was skinny. i think that you have to take into consideration that you are getting a little extra padding because of puberty. i was also very active so i never worried about my weight. i suggest you do the same.
tennis, walking,swimming etc...

Don't be so insecure, specially at your age, that is pretty normal weight ofr a 5.4. You seem to be in good shape so don't go doing crazy things.

You're tall for 12... but perfectly proportioned... or even a bit lightweight. Good lord, please don't start starving yourself or something... you've already got a modeling career ahead of you...
If you're feeling "big" because you're a little taller than a lot of girls your age, DON'T!! They'll catch up to you eventually... and weighing less won't make you smaller, it'll only make you sick.
Please... go eat something. Mom of seven says so.
