First of all I think you're much to young to be worried about this yet. That set aside, I can tell you that a persons weight and height, atleast at your age largely depends on genetics. If your parents are tall, you'll most likely be tall sooner or later, and if they're short, you'll probably be about their height. Nothing is definate, but it's a good prediction. your height is fine. If you had been under 4 feet 2 at your age, then there might be reason to have it checked out. If you'd like to predict your final height (in centimeter, but yoy can always find a converter on the net) then you can follow this formula: Girls: (fathers height - 13 cm) + (mothers height)/2 . it will be pretty accurat +- 8 cm.

As for weight, there's something called body mass index (usually used on adults after you're finished growing though) which states that if you take your weight in kilos and divide it by your height in meters squared, then you should be somewhere between 18 and 25. Over 25 is overweight and ovre 30 is obese. under 18 is underweight. Many children put on some weight before puberty, but quite often loose it again naturally. Your weight, especially later on though, largely depends on your metabolism (how fast your body processes the food you eat and burns calories), and that again depends on your genes; if your parents are fat, you should watch what you eat, if they're thin then you don't have to be as careful.
Good Luck!

its different with every child. genetics, nutrition, growth rate... all these things play a roll in how fast you grow as a child.

Really theres no set rate or anything. although there are averages that doctors use. but those averages dont dictate if youre healthy or not. Theyre just an average, which is the most common number in a large group of children.

you sound fine to me :)

you are a good height for your age, check out the chart in this link. It says that you are in the 75th percentile for your age at that height. That means that out of 100 girls your age only 25 of them are taller than you, if that makes sense to you. It also shows weight on the chart as well so since you didn't give your weight for whatever reason you can check it out on there too. Remember that this is a general number for your age, you can be healthy at any size if you look after yourself properly.

I have a copy of the boys chart to keep track of my son. He generally falls in the 96th percentile for weight and about the same for height lately.

Don't worry about it. Unless your doctor or mom think your overweight. It depends on genes, height,and how far you are into puberty.
