If your 15 up or an adult than 140 is perfect or a under but if your 14 down it's over just a little. And yes height has a lot to do with how much your supposed to weigh. I was 5'3 and 130lb I was 5lb over weight. Didn't show though. I am a very short girl so my weight has always been low. I stopped growing at 5'3 age 14 and went to 5'2 and have been that way ever since. Best thing to do is tell your height and a lot of people will be able to help you out. GOOD LUCK

I'm assuming your a female...given that your ideal weight depends on your height, bone mass and muscle mass. Could you give more information? In the meantime I can give you some examples of women I know:
5'6" 136 = not fat or skinny, normal looking, average bone mass
5'6" 151 = not fat or skinny, thighs a bit larger than the norm but she mountained biked and was a black belt in martial arts; average bone mass but way over average muscle mass
5'3" 150 = overweight, could have lost like 20-30 lbs, small bone mass
Hope this info gives you a better idea of what you want your goal weight to be.
Remember, the most important thing is how you feel and how you think you look in the mirror; not what size clothes you wear or what the scale says.

It depends on how tall you are. To be 140 pounds, you should be about 5'8". If you're shorter than that, it's 100 pounds for 5 feet and 5 pounds for every inch above.

It all depends on how tall you are. They have body fat calculators on the internet that tell you how much you should weigh taking into consideration your height and sex. Just enter "body fat calculator" in the search engine, and it should come up with something
