No that actually a ideal weight for that size . Now if she goes under 100 then you can worry.

It depends on her age. A 20 year old womans weight at that height should be around 115. So 8 pounds isn't a big deal. I would worry less about her weight then about her habits and whether or not she's eating. If she refuses to eat because she thinks she's overweight then you may want to discuss her body image with her mother, but if she eats and is healthy then there is no problem.

I dont think thats too skinny, simply because I'm 5'4" and I weigh about that much. I do not have any eating disorders, and I try to eat healthy.
I dont know, I'm not a doctor or anything, but if you're worried about her, then maybe you're right and you should talk to someone. Try talking to her first though before you approach her mom.

She's not underweight by definition, but she's close. If she loses anymore weight (even a pound), I'd get worried. However, if she looks too skinny, she probably is. Some people are naturally skinny, while some are not. I would tell her mom just to be safe.

I don't think you have to worry about her for now because that is an ideal weight for someone her height. If you notice she isn't eating or is dropping some pounds maybe you should talk to her mother then. To be sure check out the website below.

I am 5'2 and weighed 103 before I got pregnant. Now I only weigh 105. It could be just high metabolism. If she isn't eating then I would worry, but it should be fine now.

No..... if she is that skinny its fine. some girls gain more weight thin other but you also have to think that most girls don't like to eat a lot so that might have a lot to do with it..

That is definitely a healthy weight for her if it is natural. If you notice that she isn't eating then it becomes an issue.
