Having been 18 and that height, I can tell you that I was 120 pounds and I dropped to 98 which was probably too skinny. I was modelling petite sizes. 106 to 115 is probably a fine weight range for a small-boned 18 year old. 145 is about the upper limit of the normal range. I know this because now I'm 50 and I'm trying to get back down to that!

I have been taught that at 5' a small boned person, yes there is such a thing, should weigh 100 lbs, and for every inch after that you add 5lbs. For example I am 5'3" and small boned, so I should weigh 115lbs. A way to check for bone size is to wrap your index finger and thumb around your wrist, if they overlap then you are small boned, if the touch, you are medium boned, if they can not meet, you are large boned. However, this is just a rough base, for true values you would need to have a physical.

Is there such a thing as being small boned? Not to be rude or anything like that I'm just wondering.
I don't know per se, but I'm assuming that you're skinny(I may be wrong), but I would look up the BMI(Body Mass Index) for a healthy weight range for someone 18 and is 5'5". I hope this helps somewhat.

120-130 lbs is a great range for someone with a small frame and your height.

There's no such thing as 'small boned'. Every body's bones are relatively the same size.

There's a lot of factors in a persons weight, activity level, food consumption, genetics. You shouldn't be asking strangers, you should be talking to your doctor about this.
