boys and girls between 12-16

I would say generally yes, though it would depend on the person and his/her stage in development.
As girls reach puberty earlier than boys, hence grow in height and body mass quicker at an earlier age than boys, a 12 year old girl may even be a bit heavier than a 12 year old boy. But as boys increase muscle mass, bone density and height as they mature, the difference in weight would favour more and more towards the boys as they reach 16.

On average - yes.
But of course there are load of factors to consider, you'd easily be able to find a girl who weighs more than a boy at that age - and of course that's the age most of us hit puberty, so every one will be growing a different rates. So although the average weights are more for boys - that doesn't necessarily mean very much!

Usually, yes, although during the period of 12-14, girls may weigh more than boys (because they grow sooner than boys do)

Obviously if they are taller, it is likely they will weigh more.
If you are comparing males and females of the same height, then males will have more lean body mass (ie muscle/bone mass), but less body fat (about 8% less than females), which will make them around a similar weight or slightly heavier than a female.
However, males are more likely to strength train and add additional muscle, in which case they will obviously weigh more, even compared to females that strength train as they will not be able to build the same level of muscle as a male can.

I guess it depends on what kind of kid you are. If you enjoy your food you might weigh more than a girl of the same age but if you are sporty then you may be slimmer. In my experience it all depends on the person and their lifestyle...and sometimes good genes!
