No way you're not fat!!! I'm 28, 5'4, and 123lbs. I wear a size 6 in clothes. If I'm not fat, YOU are not fat!!!

The people around you have a really sick sense of humor. You are actually quite thin!!! Your waist and hips are small. You have nothing to worry about. You are tall for 12, but you're actually on the skinny side. You sound like you're gonna be one of those tall, thin, willowy types. I wouldn't stress out about it.
Tell your family to quit with the remarks, because they're negativity is not only hurting you, but it isn't even true. Maybe you could start mentioning their imperfections to give them an idea of how it feels.

Absolutely not. If anything you are on the thin side (if you were older, I'd say "you are very thin", but many girls gain their adult height before they gain their adult weight... you are in the safe range). A 22" waist is extremely slim. You will probably gain some weight, but you would have to put on about 45 pounds before you would be overweight.
Sometimes it can be hard to develop before other kids in your grade. Eventually they will catch up with you and you won't feel so bad.

if you dont fit your pants i am guessing it will be because you will grow taller-is anyone in yoor family tall. 5'5" is the average height for a woman so you are one tall girl-many would be envious of you. I will take 2 of your inches :-)
check the american pediatrics society web site you are not fat by any standard and some would say you were underweight-no one else here was brave enough to say that

You are 5'6 and you are 12 years old? And you only weigh 110lbs? It sounds like you arn't fat to me! Your mom is just expressing her concern, she cares lots about you! You just seemed to grow faster than any body else if the rest of the kids are small. But if you have anymore questions on weight and your body, go here: http://www.kidshealth.org/teen/

no hunny! your not fat. you very tall for your age, and since your that tall, its normal to weigh 110 lbs. if you dont like the comments that your mom says to you then tell her that, if she doesnt listen, then just ignore it. my mom always called me fat when i was younger, but i think the reason why your mom calls you that maybe is because she likes your body better than hers and she is jelous? that could be a thought. and everyone has different body types thats what makes each and every one of us unique and different.

I don't think 110 lbs is too much for your height, your parents should get off your back. Shame on them! Ask your school nurse for her opinion. Your brothers are too young to know, they are probably just repeating what they heard from your folks.

Not fat at all. Are you maybe too sassy with everyone, which is why they try to make you feel self- conscious? Again- you are not fat!.... unless you are 4'1 and 110 lbs.

Your 12. You are probably still fitting into your body because you are tall. Don't worry about it.
