Am I too skinny I'm too skinny 12old and 5'' (five feet tall) i weigh 80 pounds? plz tell me the truth

Answer 1

You should put on another twenty pounds or so. Don't rush it; see how much you grow over the next few years.

Answer 2

At 12 years old I wouldn't worry too much about it. Especially if you are otherwise healthy.

Make sure you're getting good nutrition. You may need some supplements, such as iron.

As you grow up you'll tend to gain height before your body weight catches up. It could take a few years for that to happen. You are also going through puberty with the body changes that brings about, and they are not the same for everyone.

It's a lot better to be too thin at your age than too heavy. Just watch your diet, make sure you get your rest and exercise and don't worry about it. You'll be just fine.

I'm a 66 year old male who did not weigh more than 100 pounds until age 15 when my height was more than six feet. I did have a bout with strep throat and pneumonia at age 15 that wound up leaving me iron anemic. My doctor put me on iron and I gained 20 pounds in a couple of months, but was unusually thin for most of the next ten years.

I wouldn't mind being unusually thin again--now I have to try to avoid being overweight.

Answer 3

It depends on what body type you have.

Are your bones sticking out a lot? (Can you count all of your ribs?)
Do you feel tired and weak most of the time?
Did a doctor say you were too skinny?

If you answered these questions with a yes, then you are too skinny. But there are many body types and some people are naturally skinny. Talk to your doctor about it.

Good luck! <333

Answer 4

Your body mass index calculator tells you that to be of healthy weight, you'd need to weigh at least 95 lbs for that height. anything less and you're "underweight".

You're only 12 years old, so you're still growing in all directions. Don't diet now, you need all the nutrients you can get, this is a crucial time for your good development. Eat healthy now, eat a lot, your body will thank you later in life.

Answer 5

You should atleast weigh 93 lbs, but for your height,80 lbs and at 12 years of age seems decent.

Answer 6

you're not too skinny, you're just small. be very greatful of that. when i was 12 i weighed about 80-85 pounds and i was 5".

Answer 7

Yes, you should weigh about 100 lbs for 5 feet tall. I am 5'5" and 140 lbs for me is quite thin.

Answer 8

Yes, my firend is 14 like 5' and 82 pounds and she is 25 pounds under weight( the doc told her).. so you should probably be around 90 pounds.

Answer 9

You are in the 10th percentile for your age, height and weight. You are at a healthy weight range which is 77 to 113 pounds.

Answer 10

No your not to skinny. I was 5'6 and weighed 105 lbs my senior year.......Listen, you got one life, you live it your way, dont worry about what others think if your too skinny or overweight. You have to love yourself, and not worry about what other people think of you. And you are way to young to be thinking about your weight.....Enjoy being a kid............its the best time of your life.
