no way! i'm 13 too and i'm 120 pounds and my doctor said I'm healthy, but i'm 5'7 though. but 118 is still really good for how tall you are. i used to think i was overweight too but then after i heard all of these people call me skinny i finally got over it. but if you do wanna lose a little weight(which u don't really need to) u could eat healthier and exercise. good luck. o and just in case i didnt already mention it your NOT overweight!

NO. You are NOT overweight.
Unless you happen to be 4 feet tall. My dear, you're not even finished growing yet. Do not get fixated on your weight now. When you are 16 or 17, and you have reached your height, you can see where you fall in the height/weight charts.
But right now, you need a LOT of what's in your body to get through puberty, the onset of menstruation, and lots of other things.

Honey, at 5-1, you are fine. Honestly, from someone's mom, you're fine.

not really, i mean i am 15 (as of last month) and i am 165lbs 5'10 or so, probably cause i have big muscles, and big other stuff :-)
You might grow out of it, or you might even grow into it! What i have to say is just dont worry bout it, you are still growing! Hope this helps!

no, you're not overweight. But if you're concerned about your weight, just make sure that you are eating healthy and getting at least 30 minutes of intense exercise per day.

Nah i think your fine. Just keep watching your weight...u may grow it out, but if you gain more weight than what you can grow..theres no way you'll be able to pull it off.

Well at 14 y/o I only weigh 96 pounds and I'm not anorexic or anything, my doctor, family, and friends, consider me as normal so you might be a little bit over weight!

no, I think that you're about the right weight for your height. Don't worry, you'll be fine. If you want to be sure you're always about right, you might consider becoming vegetarian.
