go see a doctor or ask a nutrtionist but she is really tall for 10 so probably not because i am 5'7 and i weigh 203 and its considered over weight and i am 17

No, your neice is pretty tall for her age. For her height and age the healthy weight is between 72-102lbs. All girls have a problem with their image no matter how young or what age. Have a heart to heart with her and let her know how she looks is normal. Maybe if she realizes some1 she looks up to is talking to her like she's not a child it will boost her self confidence. I hope I helped, Good Luck!

I would tell your niece that some people act different when they are 10 but that does make them a bad person and she is not. She sounds to me that she is slim and healthy and she doesn't need to worry about the weight until she is an adult tell also she just needs to ignore people her age cause they are rude.

im like 5'0 right now and i weigh 85 pounds and im still counted skinny so i dont think 5 pounds more would make her overweight. if shes slim and healthy no shes not overweight! if shes worried about it just help her make healthier decisions like a kiwi instead of a snickers bar for a snack-small things

go to a doctor and have him/her tell your neice she is not. i am about 5'3 and 15. i weigh 125 or so and i am not overweight, and i am taller than her. for my height overweight would be at 140 something. she is not overweight.

that is definitely not overweight. that was about how much i weighed when i was 5'0 (altho i wasnt 10 y/o! she's tall!) most girls i know who are 5'1-5'3 range anywhere from 110-130 and they are not overweight.
there might be some other underlying self-esteem issues you might want to talk to her about. 10 y/o is still very young to be worried about weight issues. shes not even in middle school yet. you'll want to talk to her about that (maybe shes insecure about being taller than most kids at schooL?) before she hits middle school. it seems to me that middle school is when peer pressures really become more obvious and difficult to handle. i'd suggest teaching her good, healthy ways to handle peer pressure and self-confidence now before she really has to battle it in middle school (and eventually, high school--ahh!)

No, she really isn't overweight in the slightest. You have to reinforce a positive body image for her now, before it gets out of hand. HTH : )
