Your friend is doing one of two things: she is either fishing for compliments, or she has a very warped self-image. I'm 5'5 and 125 lbs. That girl is scrawny! I don't really know what to tell you to do, as some girls just think these things about themselves and won't listen. You could possibly print out the answers people have given you on this site. Maybe some outside opinions would be helpful. I would watch her for signs of an eating disorder too. If she really has a bad self-image at 96 lbs. you should watch for that sort of thing. If at some point you really feel she might be developing one you should let her parents or someone close to her know about it.

She needs some counseling average for an adult at that height would be 125- so she has a long way to go to be considered fat. Maybe her parents could help.
I'm 5'5' and 115 and I'm definitely not fat-

she ISNT fat her bmi (body mass index) is ONLY 16.0 here is a chart....
Underweight = <18.5
Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
Overweight = 25-29.9
Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater
under 18.5 is UNDERWEIGHT she is underweight not overweight!!!
i know you didnt ask about anorexia but it is a fast growing DISEASE among young women -- i know some people that have had trouble with their weight that lead to anorexia!! and bulimia-- truthfully including myself and its VERY HARD!!! some women even die from the disease just be her friend -- that is WHAT helps me the most when my bffs give me complaiments, not b/c they have to but b/c they want to!!!---- , she really wants to lose weight tell her to do it the right way , exercise with her and workout but stand up for her when ppl ARE just PLAYING around but say that she is "big" -- b/c it HURTS!!! --- and dont play around yourself and say that b/c she may not tell you but sometimes it hurts more than you can tell!!!
++ B.M.I -- your body mass index just tells you if you are over,under or just the right weight for your HEIGHT NOT YOUR AGE!!!
AND TELL SOMEONE IF YOU EVEN THINK FOR A MOMENT THAT she may have a eating - diorder --- try to stop it even before it begins!!

sounds like she may need to talk to somebody, and put on a little weight. If she can stand with her feet shoulder width apart and see light between her thighs she is fine.
