No, also depends whether you have big bones, but no it's not overweight

Look, just because some other girls your age weigh less than you, it does not make you overweight in any way shape or form! Also a girl of 13 that is 6 stone may not be very tall, may have a very small frame or hasn't even begun puberty yet. Think Nikki from big brother! lol
Your weight is absolutely fine and you do not want to be any less, because your are in fact considered to be ideal. Stop comarping yourself to the other girls, it is not a way to decide if you are healthy or not. HTH.

I am 18.5 st and 38, if you beleive you are overweight at your age then do not beleive all the media and health hype.
Body Mass Index is not realistic in our time, it was created when people were undernourished, so dont think you are overweight, maybe just a little short or not tall enough.....lol...lol...lol
Dont worry too much, the older you get the thinner you get, until you start hitting middle age then you just balloon, make the most of it.

The last time I weighed 8 stone I was your age and about your height and everyone would to tell me how skinny I was!
Do yourself a huge favour and DO NOT start worrying about your weight, you are far too young! Just enjoy yourself, don't over indulge in macdonalds and chocolate just eat right and enjoy sports at school then you will set yourself up for life.

8st to someone who is 5"2- 5"5 is a little under i think. i'm 5"2 and my ideal weight is about 8st 10lbs so 8st's ok,your age doesn't make any difference its your size and build. if you think your overwieght at 8st, i dont think you are. if your a little under-toned just do some exersize a few times a week,that'll make you feel better about yourself anyway.

8 stone (British weight unit for we poor Americans) is equal to 112 pounds. Seems about right for the height.

No 8 stone is not overweight for someone of your height and build

No. It is standard for someone of that height. I'd be alarmed if a girl of that height only weighed 6 stone.

Well I am 8 stone and 5'5 and I certainly am not fat! I am always told I need to put on weight! If only it were that easy!

You sound like you are pretty much fully grown. I don't think that weight is overweight at all, you sound very well proportioned to me. If you are very worried though ring your doctors for advice.
