I am going to go with the less obvious answer and say you should be a little careful.
While I was growing I was less than 100 lbs until I became full grown at 5'4. Now I weigh between 125 and 130. I think your height and weight proportion is fine, however the age thing is what should concern you. During the time when you are 17-20 years old your body will change a lot...almost as much as going through puberty. Women's metobolism slows down. You will also begin to carry your weight in different places. Anyways, I think after highschool the typical girl (I know) will gain 20-30 lbs. The other thing is that you seem to have this "fat cell memory" just speaking from personal experience. If you gain some weight, and later loose it your body will continue to gravitate towards that heavier weight.
I think 5'2 115 is fine. Just be careful not to gain any weight, because it is really easy to do, and is the natural thing that happens to women over the next 8-10 years. Sports team is really good exercise for you at your age...basketball especially since it involves a lot of running. Soccer would be good too. If you want to watch what you eat, don't go overboard b/c you are still very young, but there is nothing wrong with eating healthy. Veggies are really good for you and low in calories. Try to stay away from a lot of bread products. Anything in moderation is key, but if you are concerned about your weight now, the next 10 years will be crucial!

Hi! I am 5 foot 2 and a half and 110 pounds.. I wear a size 2-4 petite. At 115-120 pounds I was a 4-6 petite, hope this helps.. It does depend on your muscle mass. I am very physically active but do not diet only portion control:) good luck

Not at all, the healthy weight range for your height is 110-130, and depends on your bone structure. You seem very healthy specially since you are in the basketball team.

You should stay just the way you are. You are at a good weight. You also need to remember that muscle weighs more than fat and if you are playing sports, you are most likely primarily muscle. You are beautiful, stay just the way you are.

No wonder they're worried about girls being anorexic! There is absolutely nothing wrong with your weight. Keep on playing whatever sports you choose, keep the junk food to a minimum, and you'll be just fine.

No, not at all. Even though you are young, you may be starting puberty earlier than other girls and you will have more muscle if you play basketball. Just keep to the weight you are and you will be fine. HTH : )
