My sister that is in 7th grade is 5"0, and is 60 pounds, is this normal?

Question

I mean, she eats and everything, and she is not anorexic or bulimic.
She is really skinny and I can see her bones, and her rib cage, what is her normal weight?
People look at her like she is anorexic, and they say behind her backs, that girl is so so skinny, and she gets really mad about it, her friends can pick her up and say she is light as a feather, or are you anorexic? and she gets mad, is there any way to cheer her up?

Answer 1

Is your entire family Anorexic or something. You seem to have a lot of very underweight sisters, I think I remember you were pretty underweight yourself. Maybe you all need to get some help and stop asking questions! HTH.

Answer 2

When I was in 6th grade I was 60 pounds, but I don't know how tall I was. Her weight is a little low, but if ur sure that she eats normally, then I guess she just has a fast metabolism. Some ppl will always be pretty light.
Im still just a little over 100 pounds, and Im 5feet 2inches (and 17yrs old) and I eat and everything...so don't worry about it too much.

Answer 3

I was about the same weight and height at the same age. Yet I was eating properly. Every time I went to the doctor I had to give a summary of my daily diet ... There was nothing wrong with that, because I was eating plenty!

If I were you I'd stand by your sister. She's going through puberty and for every kid that happens in a different way. As long as there is nothing medically wrong, her weight will settle itself as she grows out of puberty!

I know it's hard being asked questions or being looked at, specially because she's at a tender age. I also got picked up by my friends and called names, but a few years later they all were envious of my figure!

Answer 4

Your sister IS anorexic. 60 pounds at 5" is not normal. She needs to weigh at least 40 pounds more than she does.

Get her to a doctor fast!

Answer 5

Woah that is very skinny. I have a friend that is abuot like that. She is very healthy. I guess it is just your metabolism that does that and as long as she is eating, she should be fine. Normal weight would be around 90-120 for that age group. Just remind her that there's nothing wrong and she'll gain a little weight sooner or later.

Answer 6

She probable is unquestionably skinny. If she eats and all there is relatively no longer something you're able to do. i do no longer think of you ought to difficulty she would be waiting to probable benefit weigh whilst she gets older. i think of she needs to learn approximately 30 pounds so she does not seem so sickly however yet, i think for her it must be confusing to be so skinny and to have human beings consisting finding at her as anorexic or bulimic. it is common for plenty youthful toddlers like 7-10 365 days .

Answer 7

um well to your first question, my aunt is the same way and she stayed like that forever, and the ur second question i would say talk to your mom and maybe she will have a plan, Good luck with your sister. Tell her i said that everything will be alright and email me at [e-mail] so i can see what is happening about the waight thing

Answer 8

shes very skinnny but i am also very skinny for my age. im in 8th grade and only wiegh 80. so ur sister has a verry fast metabolism liike me cause if she eats all day and never gains anything she has a very fast metabolism.

Answer 9

She may be bulemic. Meaning she throws up anything she recently ate. Why hasnt anyone taken her to see a doctor? there may be something seriously wrong with her. No, this is not normal.

Answer 10

I'm in the 7th grade too but I don't know whit pounds but I have 51 kg.I think she could be happy since she is hasn't a handicap.
