I read a question about a girl who was 18 and 5'1 and asked what she should weigh. Is it bad that I weigh 120 and I'm 17 and 5'6? Cuz some people said she should be near 118.

The body mass index is for adults, but you're close to an adult, so I figure I'd use it. Your BMI is 19.4. Normal is anything between 18.5 and 24.9. So your weight is normal. In fact, if you lost 6 more pounds, you would be considered "under weight."

5'6" and 120 is perfect as far as I am concerned. I know someone who is 118 and 5'1" and she looks great. I'll bet you look amazing.

You wait a minute. If you're in good health, why do you care what someone else weights? That's their problem. If you're concerned about your health that's something else. You're 17 and have more than a couple of years to grow still. Be concerned for your current and future health. Make healthy choices and enjoy your life.

not to be mean but it looks like you should weigh at least 20 lbs. more than her because look at the height difference.
