I'm a 6'0 teenager and weigh about 175 pounds. Do people think that is too much weight?

NO!! you are just fine. besides, the weight will continue to distribute itself differently until you reach your 20's. So don't worry about it. Also, a lot of women like to be able to cuddle with their man and not have his bones sticking her.

No, you are on the high end of normal weight, for your height you should weigh between 155 to 180 max before you go into moderate overweight category

No! Definitely not. If you truly are 6 ft tall, you are either just right or on the light side.
Perhaps you want to do some weight bearing exercises to build muscles. Remember, though, as you do build muscle, the number on the scale is going to go up, so don't freak out.

you have got to be joking!! that is not even funny!! why even worry that much about it? as long as you are healthy and every thing, you're weight shouldn't matter. i think 175 is fine, especially for your height. my babies' sperm donor was the same size as you, height wise, and he weighed 185 and was skinny as a rail. don't worry about it.

Nope, my husband is almost exactly the same size - 6 feet tall, he's 170, and I don't think he is at all overwight - you aren't either at 175.

depends if its muscle or fat, on your background and many other contributing factors. but ask your doctor if your a healthy weight. a general guideline is 100 lbs for 5 feet and every inch over that is an additional 5 lbs. you can also check you body mass index (bmi), and fat percentage.

Only your doctor is equipped to answer that. If you're that concerned, google it and you'll find plenty of competent health information.
Also, it's kind of a total turnoff that you have to seek mass validation of your physical appearance in order to have any sense of security. Seriously.

Try the body mass index (BMI) calculator for the Centers for Disease Control (see link below). I'd do it for you, but I need to enter your exact age. I'm guessing you're fine.

Not at all that is right around the target weight for your height.
