No, you do not sound over weight.
Society has a body image problem - don't let them sucker you into it. At age 14 your body is still growing and changing. Generally a normal female will continue to grow height wise for atleast two full years after she starts her periods. In the meantime your body will try to store up what we all call baby fat to use for when you grow taller.
If you are still worried, try this: eat healthy choices over greasy and sugar filled foods and cut back on regular sodas. If you must have a soda, try the diet soda - but if you can drink water more - even vitamin waters are better than sodas. Don't do any special crash diet or fad diet - from experience, us adults know they don't work. Just making good choices and adding a little exercise into your day will keep you healthy.
Good wishes,
Sadi

NEVER EVER think that you are fat! I don't think that 88 pounds is over weight! You almost weigh as much as me! I can't believe you would waste 5 points on a question like that! You are smart for asking about other weight loss things except for dieting but you don't need it!!

Cammy...at 14, I agree...you should not be worried about your weight...unless you were obese. At 88 pounds, you sound like you are very fit...so don't let this society that tells you that you need to look like a super skinny supermodel in order to not be overweight affect you.

no way! besides, its not about how much you weigh, its about how you feel about yourself...but believe me, if you are 14 and not even 90 pounds, then you are totally fine!!
