It is normal for teens or anyone for that matter to be worried about their weight and appearance regardless of their size. However, if you think she is dieting too much or taking unhealthy measures like not eating, working out way too much and not eating enough calories to make up for the ones lost etc..you may want to confrotn her yourself. It is hard to say without knowing how much she eats and how much she burns ina day. again, everyone worries about weight even if they are stick thin. It coud be a part of low self esteem or a false body image of herself too. I guess just watch what she does and listen to things she says that may be more alarming to any signs of an eating disorder. She is a dancer...sometimes they feel more pressure to be thin even if they already are extremely thin. Maybe talk with your own mom to see what she would suggest or talk with hers if you know her well enough.

Your friend is perfectly healthy. Her BMI is probably in the low 20's and normal is between 20-25. Her's may even be lower than that if she is really muscular. I would tell her to relax and keep up what she is doing. She really is on the low end of a normal weight for her height even if she is small boned.

5'3" and 115 pounds is 20% body fat.
"Normal" range is 19 to 24%, or in her case - 107 to 135.
Also, dancers have additional muscle - which would make her weigh a bit more than she looks.
She's in great shape.

She is just fine. She sounds like she is as fit as can be. I don't think she has much to worry about.

She's perfect. If she's a dancer, though, I bet people tell her she's fat all the time which is a load of crap!

of course that is normal. My friend has an eating disorder and I think your friend does too. Get help before it gets worse.
