My girl, you are only 13. A lot will change in the next few years and one thing could be your weight. If you are eating and exercising right then you are exactly where your body wants you to be. If your cousin is 13, 5'2" and 120 lbs then I would suggest that she might want to look into watching her weight. I am 34, 5'6" and 130lbs and I am right at my weight limit. I also am vegetarian and exercise 5 days a week. Just make sure you eat properly, drink plenty of water and exercise regularly and you will not have to worry about the weight issue.

You're probably slightly below average, but I don't think you're unhealthy. Your cousin may be a bit overweight. At age 12 (a number of years ago), I weighed 95 and the health teacher said it was a perfect weight. I was 5"1' at the time.

That's really determine by your doctor. how ever 5'2 it is a little under weight my sister is just under foot and she is 105 so you should weigh at least 105 for your height. if you eat fating food and don't put on the weight then don't worry. you will gain when you get older. some people have very high metabolism causing them to burn more calories more easier. so if you are really concern ask a dietitian on what you can do eat foods to put the weight on. don't go all junk food happy and eat and eat to try to gain the weight. you might want to have test runed to see why your not gaining like over active thyroid.

No your not underweight, maybe your cousin is just REALLY jealous I weigh 87.5 pounds and I am not underweight. But your cousin is just barely in the average weight range. I don't mean to sound mean.

I'm 20 and I weigh 110...I'm the same height as you and I weighed as much as you do if not less when I was 13. My doctor said I just have a fast metabolism and it might catch up with me or it might not. So, as long as your eating and not obsessively working out or anything like that, you're fine.

When I was 13 I was just like you. You probably have a high metabolism. But don't overeat just to gain weight. That isn't healthy. Don't listen to your cousin, everyone is built differently.

um well I'm 14 and i weigh like 130lbs
try to eat a lot of protein, and do rigorous exercises that help build muscle. (muscles makes you gain weight and it looks like you weight more when you have muscles)
but for a girl that weight can be considered to be healthy.
i know a lot of girls who were 14 who weigh the same as you.

It's probably because you have a fast metabolism. Don't worry, my friend is just like you and she's totally healthy. You're fortunate to have a fast metabolism, it digests your food faster and helps you keep weight off.

i wouldnt worry about it, you probably just have a high motablolism . unless you know that your not eating right. i mean your not THAT tall so it seems like the right weight. plus your cousin is probably taller
