Since you're only 12 years old you're probably just going though a growth spurt. You'll grow into it over time, no cause for concern.

That's kind of skinny... I'm 5 foot 4 1/2 and I'm about 100 pounds. I would say I'm regular. Do you think that your weight is proportional to your hieght? Because that's really what matters. Besides, some people are just born skinny. Like my friend who is 5 foot 2 and weighs 74 lbs and eats like crazy.

I literally know how you feel. I'm that size, and I know it can be rough sometimes. You may feel too small, and compared to other people, you're short.You just have to learn to accept it and embrace it. It's not a bad thing, and it's a pretty good thing. Think how lucky we are! It's a great size to be, and even if you're still a bit thinner or a bit shorter, you're you. And that's what matters.
PS. Stay in shape. That's important. I run a lot and play sports at least four times a week. I lift weights and exercise. That helps build core strength.

According to a BMI calculator, your about 15.4, which puts you in the second to fourth percentile, depending on how old you are. So, no, it is not a good thing that you are that skinny, because it's mostly people suffering from anorexia that are in the percentile. To have a healthy BMI, some one of your height should weight AT LEAST 105.

First off 5'4 isnt tall and 90 lbs is fine you could weigh up to 120 and still be alright.

Don't worry about it, there are 4 different types of bodys and yours is one of them. All body types have their ups and downs, I'm tall and skinny and at 6 foot I have to duck at my church because the celings are soooo low.

average weight for a 5'4 girl is 105-130 according to my doctor when I was 5'4. currently 5'6. Being underwieght is just as unhealthy as being overwieght, so I would try lifting wieghts to produce more muscle mass. Don't eat junk food to gain weight. And no need for massive arobic excercise either.( that burns fat ) Just lift wieghts and eat larger HEALTHY portions.
DONT LET ANYONE MAKE YOU FEEL UGLY!!!! 90 lbs. is not really that bad but it would not hurt to gain 15 just to be safe.

you should google search body mass index. You provide them with your height and seight and it will determine whether you are underweight, average weight, overweight, or obese. Good Luck!

5'4" is not tall for somebody who weighs 90lbs. I'd be worried if you were like 5'9.
