You are the farthest thing from being overweight. In fact I would even say you are underweight. Though if you eat and exercise healthily you are fine. You have a bmi (body mass index) of 17.5... Healthy is considered 19. If your peers in ballet and cheer are pressuring you to feel insecure about your weight, you should talk to somebody, for I am sure your body is beautiful and you are so young. Too young in fact to be worrying about being overweight, especially somebody as tiny as you sound. Good luck with it all, and just remember that you are beautiful and so NOT fat.

Yes that is a good weight if that is normal for you without you trying to lose weight. Examine why you feel extremely fat. Could it be related to temporary bloating which can produce the same results of feeling fat? Also some forms of malnutrition can cause the stomach to jut out and severely protrude (but I'm not sure about if the person feels fat). And sometimes we feel fat for other reasons. So just examine as to why you feel this way and address it. Just don't try to lose any weight. If you continue to have this problem, please check with a doctor as it could be a medical issue that makes you feel that way or it could be you could use some serious reassurance that you are not overweight.
Just use a BMI calculator. I have included one below, just plug in the numbers.
The result of your BMI calculation is: 17.5

OMG...you should know better being in sports n all.
I think that's a bit underweight even.
It wouldn't hurt you to gain 10 pounds.
GIRL...you are not fat!!!
I was anorexic once. The smallest i got was 112 pounds and I'm 5'3". I looked sick even at that weight.
Now, I'm 138 pounds, and I get rave reviews. LOL!
good luck!

no way! im 14 years old, 5'6 and 110 pounds so we're probably about the same proportions. and people always make fun of me for being "unhealthily skinny" or some variation. i know people who are like 5'2 and 135 pounds and people still tell them they're skinny. but no your are not overweight! cause if you are then i am! and im not cause im a twig! :) but whatever you do, DON'T become anorexic!!! it's NOT worth it!
