I'm 13 years old, 5'6", 117 lbs, and 8-12% body fat (different calculators= different things). I was wondering is this normal, and also what is a good body fat for a 13 year old girl? Again, I'm not obsessive.

Erin E.- I didn't ask your opinion on self absorbtion, however your answer seems to tell that you yourself are self absorbed. Let me suggest a plan of action: get a life and actually answer the question, not beat around the bush.

Well, healthy for an adult if I remember correctly is as much as 25% body fat. Being 5'7", myself, I can say you sound a bit on the slim side. I'm a big girl at the moment, but healthy/ideal weight for me is around 150lbs. Have no idea what body fat that is. A girl your age, I would say just try to eat healthy and don't worry too much about it. Body fat only counts when your like me and have a bit too much of it. lol

You are too young to avoid fats.
1. Fats are required for the devlopment of brain cells.
2. Some fat soluble vitamines like B and D comes with some fat like dairy food or meat etc.
3. Minerals , specially calcium is very necessary at this young age for strong bones.
So do not try to be vegan or start dieting but just keep your weight and waist size under control and get a better shape after 20.

Naw, you're just fine.
Now if you were something like 70 lbs and saying things like "Why am I so fat" or 180 lbs and saying things like "Why is everyone so rude and mean to me?" Those are problems.
You can try the "youth and teen" Body Mass Index calculator at the site for the Centers for Disease Control and see their opinion.
