You are not overweight. You are right in the middle of the Body Mass Index charts. Remember, for a girl your age if is very common to put on about 10 pounds per year.
Average for you is between 90 and 130 pounds.

Whether or not you are overweight depends on your height and your weight. To determine if you are healthy, find out your BMI ( weight divided by height in inches divided by your height in inches again then multiply by 703) This number is your BMI. Healthy(not overweight) is about 18?-24. Don't worry, you're only 11. Your body is still growing and developing and take the time to enjoy life and not obsess over your weight. Just BMI is not dependable by itself, if you truly want to know, get an appointment with your doctor and he will determine whether or not you are healthy. Hope this helped!

As a general rule, 100 lbs is about the right weight for someone who is 5 ft tall. Then add about 5 lbs. for every inch over 5 ft. But at your age, your body is changing or going to change a lot very soon. It is better just to concentrate on eating healthy and getting as much exercise as you can and your body will be the right size for you. Learn what you can about good nutrition. If you cut out stuff with sugar and white flour in it, that is a good first step.

It depends how tall you are compared to your weight to determine if you are overweight. You can always ask your doctor what is the average weight for your age and height and they can also tell you if your overweight or not.

I really need to know your height. But even if you're 4'11" you would not be overweight! Start worrying about more important things like being a good and kind human being. :)

Any eleven year old tends to weigh about 5-10 pounds, 15 if they're hitting puberty early.

Depends on height, build, and gender... can't tell from age alone. Here are some charts to help out: http://www.kidshealth.org/parent/general/body/growth_charts.html
But charts are only approx. If you're concerned, talk to your parents.

There is no way to know with out knowing how tall you are, but I suspect that you are with in normal range for your weight.
