Don't listen to idiots telling you you're overweight. 120 lbs is well within the range for 5'5".

You really need to take other factors into account as well as your age, height, and weight. Do you exercise on a regular basis, how is your diet. Not all kids fit into the same mold. You are the same height and weight as I am I am just slightly (by several years) older than you are. I would be more concerned with my Body Mass Index and that you can get from your DR.
according to my daughter's health book if you are 5 ft. the ideal weight would be 100 lbs. add 5 lbs for every inch above 5 ft. which means you would still be 5 lbs underweight.
Also please always remember that weight is just a number you should be more concerned with being healthy.

I am also 5'5'' and 120-125 pounds... I'm seventeen, and most people say I'm skinny.. I just have big butt lol so No, I don't thing you are overweight, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't eat health and exercise to get your heart rate up :)

You sound fine to me. I would not call that overweight.
Here is a link to a BMI (body mass index) calculator:
http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/
Entering 5'5" and 120 lbs says that you have a BMI of 20, which is in the normal weight range.

You are fine. No problems. Just don't go on any of those CRAZY diets. Watch what you eat if you think that you are overweight. Eat helthy and follow the food pyramid.

okay, you're a big person...NOT overweight or fat. 120 pounds is pretty proportional to a height of 5'5''. but yes, that's kind of a big proportion for someone who is only 12 years old.

no not at all!!!! 120 is never heavy especially for your hight. you are average. if you dont feel good about yourself then try going to the gym it will make you feel good about your body and you will generally feel better
