i'm 13 and i weigh 101, ppl say that is a little to thin. but i have friends 13 years old and some are fewer than 94. so im sure ur sister is healthy. just make sure she eats right, gets plenty of sleep, enough exercise or activity, u know the typical healthy-life topics. Its so nice you worry about her like that! but anyways, you should go to www.kidshealth.com and click on kids health. in their u will find a topic called "what is the normal weight for my height?" or something similar. you just type in her weight and height and it will give you her BMI, which will tell you if she is in the healthy weight range or not. hope i helped! im sure ur sister is healthy anyway...i have 13 year old friend who weighs 87 lbs and she's active and healthy!

Hey, It's a healthy weight. I about "5,5" and I'm around 120 lbs. I'm 14 and don't have a high metabolism. I'm not fat or anything. It just depends. I have lots of skinny little girls in my school that are perfectly healthy and weigh around 90 lbs. Don't worry. Merry Christmas!

It depends on her height and bone structure. I think that about 100 lbs or so should be okay for a 13 year old.

Well my cousin is 14 and weighs 95 pounds. It does depend on her height as well (my cousin is tall). Also, she may have a high metabolism (can burn off fat easily, even though they eat alot).

It all depends on her height. But if she looks a little skinny to you, dont worry. It's more than likely peuberty, her body is trying to balance itself as she continues to develope. She'll probably fill out when she stops growing around 18 years of age. As long as she's eating, dont worry about it.

Well I'm 4 foot 10 and 95 pounds, but I don't look fat. I think she is alright. But, indeed it would help to have an estimate height.

It depends on her metabolism, height, and genes. But if she seems healthy, and feels healthy, then I wouldn't worry about it.
