I am 14 and I weigh 160 pounds. I think I am really fat. Is this normal for someone who is 14, 160 lbs and 5 ft 11 inches tall?

You're not fat. Believe me. I was 5'8" at your age and weighed about 140lbs. I was a little "chubby", but I eventually grew a little taller and thinned down. I was 140 and 5'9".....and I ALWAYS thought I was fat. But I look back now (at pictures and at the clothes I used to wear), and I was THIN. I think the reason I FELT fat was because I was just so much bigger than other girls my age. But "big" doesn't mean "fat". It's not at all the same.
So for your height, you're at a great weight:) Enjoy it!

You're pretty tall for a 14 year old.
I'm 5 ft 11 and I wish I was 160 pounds. You're at the average weight or a little bit below.

Well, I do not know if you are a male or female but either way it doesn't really matter. Your age has nothing to do with this situation, it only relates to height and weight. For a 5'11 female the target weight is right around 160 pounds. For a 5'11 male the target weight is around 165-170 pounds. According to the charts I've seen you are certainly not overweight. Just relax and don't become obsessed with weight.

You sound about average for your height to me. Keep in mind that muscle weighs more than fat. Quit being so self conscious, it's not good to be so hard on yourself, especially at your age. You also need to understand that you're still growing and will probably gain a little more as you get taller. Don't stress about weight. I think you're letting the sound of 160 scare you, instead of looking at the figure in the mirror.

That is normal for your height. Tyra Banks is 5'9 and weighs 165. I know this because I am 5'8 and 160. So you are skinner than both of us. Do not worry about your weight.

IMNSHO I do not think that you are fat. You are very tall for your age and 150-160 lbs is a good weight for your height.
Stand tall and be beautiful.

your at a very suitable weight, but are you a boy or a girl?
if you are a boy i would say you are the slightest bit underweight
i think that you that u think your overweight because of all our super skinny peers e.g. celebrities, models
p.s. i dont know why everyone is saying that that you are very tall i would say your a bit over average in your height. i'm 11years old and i'm 175cm(5 ft 9 or 10inches)
anyway i hoped that helped a bit

1st. you are a tall one so weight is distributed no doubt.
2nd if you feel like you ARE fat, you need to talk to someone who isn't going to 'mollycoddle' you, parents and friends may not be the best people because of the chances they will not want to hurt your feelings.
Go and see the doctor, he will be honest.
3rd, if you are eating all the right things then get used to the size and shape you are, as long as you are not shovelling crap down your neck then there should be nothing to worry about
:-)
most omportantly though, learn to be HAPPY about yourself..!
