I am also 5'3'' (but much older). I think 114-116 is very normal for this weight. A lot depends on your bone structure. I would guess that you are about a size 6 or 8. That is a fine size. I was shorter than you at age 14 but when I was in my 20's - a good weight for me was about 125. That increases with age but I would suggest that if you are 5'3'' at 14, you are doing good!
Besides - who cares about 'normal'. If you are healthy and active - that is the most important thing!!
I learned a long time ago to go by how I feel and what size clothes I want to be in because I normally weight a bit more than most people think.
Good luck and don't worry!

I would say that you are pretty close to the right weight. I weighed 127 at the age of 18 and I am 5'4". Your main concern right now should be that you are getting the proper nutrition that your body needs. Exercise will help you feel good about yourself, too. Besides there is no normal weight that fits everyone. Some people are small boned, some medium, and some large. Eat right and stay healthy. Good luck!

You are at the perfect weight. If you dont believe me search google for "How much should i weigh"? You will get answers and trust me you are at a perfect weight. You have to be a size 2 or 4 at the most! Come on girl, look in the mirror. I am sure your beautiful!!!

let 's take an objective source and calculate your BMI
5'3 = 5 * 30.48 + 3 2.54 = 1.6002 m
114 lbs = 114 * 0,453592 = 51,7 kg
Your BMI = 51.7/ 1.60 ^2 = 20.19
WHO says: A BMI of 19 to 25 is quite normal.
You see you are not in trouble.

yes, that is normal weight, and you don't need to worry about your weight until later on because your body isn't fully developed yet. People usually start watching there weight on the age of 18 and above. I was around your weight before when i was 14, but i gained a few after several years..-__-
Here's a weight chart:

your weight isn't on there because that chart is mean't for people til around 18 of age, So you don't need to worry hun. just eat healthy =]

You're OK. 20.4 BMI for 14, and at the 63rd percentile. Just fine. Take a look here: http://pediatrics.about.com/cs/usefultools/l/bl_bmi_calc.htm

It seems pretty normal. If you're really curious, just ask your doctor the next time you go in for a visit. They have all these cool charts that can allow you to see what kind of percentiles you are in for your age group. :D
