Ok, i'm 13 and weight about 105 pounds. And i'm just as tall as my mom. (Exactly! cool huh?) My mom looks skinnier than me, and she is 120 pounds. How can that be? My stomach and other areas are bigger than hers, yet i weight less. (I would put her age, but i'll respect her by not putting it down. But you can probobly imagine anyway.)

If you mum looks skinnier than you at the same height, even though she weighs 15lb more, chances are it's because she has more lean body mass and less body fat than you do.
Lean body mass such as muscle and bone weighs more but looks more compact. Body fat weighs less, but takes up more space.
Hope this makes sense : )

Well, I would assume that your mom has a more developed bone structure and denser muscle tissue. Both of these factors would definately add that extra 15 pounds.

fat weighs less than muscle - also i guess this is a similar thing but people have differently dense bodies.
I once read an article about women who were all the same weight and height and they all looked very different

it is because she has more toned muscle and you have some "baby fat" still, but as you exersize and grow up it should go away and you should look smaller.
