She is fine for her height, tell her not to worry about her weight at such a young age.
If she is really concerned, she should eat healthy, not so much junk, not so much fast food, a lot of fruit and water.
She can also walk 2-3 times a week, but she really shouldn't be concerne when she is that young.
She can also stay active by playing sports, or taking dance lessons, which is great for that age!

Well if she is only 11 she will grow and change a lot in the next few years. She will get taller and the weight will even itself out most likely. Also, I don't think that 115 is bad for 5'2". Tell her just to eat really healthy food, and to drink at least one glass of lowfat milk everyday. Milk is really good for you especially going through puberty.

Body mass index (BMI) is measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to both adult men and women.
BMI Categories:
Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
Overweight = 25-29.9
Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater
Using the calculator shown on the web site
her Body Mass Index
for height 5 feet, 2 inches and her weight you entered is 115lbs
BMI is: 21.0 Which indicates that she is in the middle range of normal weight. Teenaged girl could have higher BMI and still not be considered to be overweight. Congratulations

NO WAY!!!! Tell her that there's NO WAY that she's fat!! I am (short for my age) 4' 9" and weigh 125 lbs. And guess what? I am not fat. I am chubby, but most of it is muscle. So yeah. Look at her figure. Does she have curves, or does she have rolls? That determines whether or not she's fat, not her weight and height.

For her height she sounds like she is slim and healthy it doesn't matter about her age it just matters about how healthy she is. When I was 11 I weighed about 109 and was 5'1 so she seems good.
