Answer 1

u r underwieght. ure BMI is 17.
Underweight = <18.5
Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
Overweight = 25-29.9
Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater

Answer 2

If you don't feel weak, sluggish, famished, tired or anything like that all the time, and you think you're alright, then you're okay.

A 13 year and 3 months old (male) child
who is 96 pounds
and is 5 feet and 3 inches tall has
a body mass index of 17.0,
which is at the 22th percentile,

and would indicate that your child is at a healthy weight. Keep in mind that it is still possible for a child to have an eating disorder even if they are at a healthy weight though.

The higher your BMI is, the more overweight you are, the lower you BMI is, the more underweight you are. A child has a healthy BMI if it is between the 5th and 85th percentile.

Answer 3

5'3" is a little on the small side, & weighing 96 pounds is also a little slender.
However, I seriously doubt you have gone through puberty, either. You will fill out & bulk up as manhood hits you.
As long as you are healthy now...accept being a little on the skinny side. I, too, was skinny as a kid. Now that I'm an adult, I'm still on the slender-to-average side...& happy this way.

You're 13! Men don't usually stop growing until they are in their early 20's. The important thing is to eat nutritious food and exercise to make sure you have a healthy start for when your bod decides to get busy and bulk up. Under no circumstances should you take "roids" it will cause your winky to shrink and cause irreversible harm. Your own body will begin to cause testosterone levels to increase causing voice to change and secondary sexually characteristics to emerge (hair on genital, armpits, face). Everyone matures at a different rate so don't sweat it! You'll get there in due time,

Answer 5

The weight-hight-age-ration standards are from over 100 years ago (you can search this online) and shouldnt be taken to heart.Eat right exercise regulary and go to your check ups.This will ensure you say at a good weight.No one person is the same,a healthy weight is unique for everyone.

Answer 6

Your weight is within normal limits for a dud your age. Your body is maturing so you have to give it time to "fill out" during your teen years. Just makes sure that you have a reasonably healthy diet and keep active. You're fine.

Answer 7

Yeah its normal it could be that your short so that maybe y u way 96 pounds.

Answer 8

Yes it's normal. My friend is 14, same height and 90 pounds and he's like pure muscle. I don't see how but he is.

Answer 9

specific it is common, and it will proceed to grow, and in spite of this there is not any longer something nessecarily good approximately having a super penis, like i'm 13 with a seven inches and it does not make me sense like greater of a guy, so basicly be tender on your individual dermis and purely carry in there!

Answer 10

Dude, NO WORRIES, as long as you dont have that one disease where you make yourself barf to make yourself skinny. Anyways, my friend is 5'1 and he is like 86, and I used to be 5' 3 and weigh like 92 but I grew out of it and im 5'7 and I weigh 103, Its all good, dont worry!
