It depends on what is over weight to you see im 156 and im a 8th grader I concider my self a good size, but for a girl what really matters is if you feel happy about you're self you know.
If you dont care about what i said,then you should eat light for about a week and do as much sit ups as you can take it WILL tone you're body up I really hope this helps but if it dont im sorry because this is all I do is the things I wrote before...
GOOD LUCK!!!

Checked the Maternal Health Care Child Growth Chart, and I am assuming that you are 11 or 12 years old. If that is the case, far from being overweight, for your age group you are in the lowest 5%, and even more so if you say you are quite tall.
If you are eating well and exercising sensibly, there is no problem, this could just be your build, but if you are dieting, or over-exercising, then you need to stop. . Being too thin could affect your bone growth, and also your health.
If you are at all worried, or want further info. check with your health care professional.
By the way - don't rely on models in magazines etc. for body image, as there are 6,000,000,000 people in the world and only 8 of them are super models.

we don't know your height so we can't work it out.
If you are really worried, talk to your doctor or your parents. Or another option if your school has one talk to a councilor
You shouldn't be worried about your weight!
You want to have fun at that age, just make sure you exercise (play sport) and don't eat junk food all the time. Junk foods are fine as a treat.
Good luck!

check out your BMI
square your height in metres and then divide the answer by your weight in kilograms.
a BMI of 18 to 24 is good

You are not likely overweight. Talk to your doctor or calculate your Body Mass Index here: http://apps.nccd.cdc.gov/dnpabmi/Calculator.aspx
Everyones different so we couldn't tell you.

it really depends on how your body looks
i think it's not being overweight just try doing more exercise and eat lots of fruit
