According to the BMI calculator, a height of 5'1" and a weight of 115 gives you a BMI of 21.7.
If your 12th birthday was today, you'd be at risk of being overweight. If your 13th birthday was tomorrow, you'd be considered normal weight. If you were an adult at that body mass, you'd be considered "normal", which is below average (since the average American is overweight).
Don't worry so much about what people say, and worry more about eating healthy foods and keeping fit, and you'll be fine. Becides, you and your friends bodies are ALL going to go through big changes in the next few years (even if it's already started, it lasts a while).

According to this webiste: http://apps.nccd.cdc.gov/dnpabmi/Calculator.aspx
You JUST MADE the RISK of becoming over wieght. Your at 86th or 85th percentile. A healthy weight any where from 5-85 percentile. You're not fat, it shouldn't even be noticable. To be "considered" at a healthy weight by the website, you need to lose 1-2 pounds. If I were you, I would not worry about it.

you are alright hun, you are not fat nor skinny, you are normal or a bit (tiny tiny) more than you should be. However if you have a big bone structure like mine and you look like a 7th grader its fine.
I'm only in 9th grade(14) and people think I'm 16-17 not because I'm fat but because I have a big bone structure like my dad!

Ask yourself this, "am I happy"? If the answer is yes, then your original question should not matter. Be who you are and don't worry about other's opinions. But, to answer your original question, no, you are not fat. At your age, you about to go through a growing spurt and you will strech out and become thinner. I have seen it happen to thousands of pre-teens and younger teenagers.

no you're not fat. it also depends on you're body build. if you are athletic, a lot of that could be muscle mass and not fat. Never tell yourself you are fat.
