I turned 13 in January. I am 5 ft and 1/2 in tall. And weigh about 95 lbs. Am I overweight? I don't think so but a lot of my friends weight less and I can't keep feeling self-conscious about my body. (weight, etc.)

I know exactly how you feel....I'm 19 now but when I was younger I was really self conscious about my body. First of all, teenagers grow at all sorts of different rates, so don't worry if some of your friends are alot smaller than you..it will even out eventually. Secondly, even though this is not the best measurement for you because you are only 13, your BMI is only 18.6! 18.5-24.9 is in the normal range for adults your size, so sweetie you are NOT NOT NOT overweight!!!!!

To feel better about your body, start trying to focus on what it can DO instead of how it looks...trust me, it works. Join a sports team, or start going for walks, or take a dance class. Good luck!
