Tell your friend she is NOT overweight. I looked up her BMI (body mass index) and according to that her BMI is 20.5. If you are 18.5 to 24.5 you are normal weight. So she is 2 number away from being very close to underweight. I am about 21.5 and I am 14 and my doctor told me that that is the perfect number for 14 year old girls. So, let your friend know she is at a totally normal weight, maybe even skinny! I hope this helped you!

No she is in her healthy weight range. Tell your friend not to worry. Girls today worry too much about weight. Do you really think guys like twigs?

no she is really not. that's a really average weight for her height, even if she was slightly overweight she would even out eventually. you're still not done growing and stuff by the time you're 14. also, if she is gaining weight even though her lifestyle hasn't changed, it might be her body getting her ready to get taller.

No, your friend should worry about being healthy and making good decisions. Guys like girls that are healthy and feel good about themselves. Everyone has something they dislike about themselves, like your friend not liking how much she weighs is very normal. I am sure she will end up with her perfect match.

No she definitely is not. She is just right where she should be. Tell her to only take the word of her family physician, not the mass media, or "friends" who make unkind remarks.

You should watch out- she may be headed in the direction of anorexia or bulimia. And she is at that impressionable age when all our insecurities are assaulting us full force.

That's real skinny for her height. I'm 5'2" and I don't weigh 120.
