Hi-I'm 13 years old, I'm 5ft tall(exactly) and I guess I have a pretty slender body and I'm in 8th grade. How much should I weigh? My friends call me skinny but I think I'm fine

I believe you are just within the healthy weight range for your height, because you are only 13. Don't worry about it, if your doc says you are fine, then you are good. And you will soon fill out in the next few years. Take care : )

It all relies on how tall. There is not particularly an age its extra BMI. If you seek BMI Mass chart you seem at your top and cross alongside and it will have to say how so much you will have to weigh

Know if you need to lose weight
Health specialist use a measure called BMI, short for Body Mass Index. Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to both adult men and women. This gives a good measure of your total body fat. BMI compares your height and weight. It shows if you are underweight, at a healthy weight, or overweight.
You know how many pounds are there in 1 kg. Do not know let me help you, it is 1 kilogram = 2.20462262 pounds. Check out what your BMI is by using the BMI calculator.

The rule of thumb is 100 pounds for 5 feet and then 5-10 pounds per inch after that depending on your body type. This is for females only.

Some people have large frames others have a small frame.I would say about 98- 100 lbs if your body structure is average.

then you are fine,you have to live in your own body and as long as you are not starving or purging then you are fine,perhaps your friends may be a tad jealous that you are thin,it is healthier than being over weight.
