You're lucky is what you are.
Not fat by any means.

My personal opinion i think you have a perfectly good weight for your size, age, and sex(girl right?). Don't be paranoid with your weight and ignore the people that ever tell you "you are fat". It also depends, volleyball is a sport that requires a lot of movement so it is very likely that those 120 pounds may have little fat(depending on what you eat. If you exercise often and have built muscle you have to know that muscles weight more than fat and that also affects you. http://www.healthchecksystems.com/heightweightchart.htm
that is a website you can use that has a graph of how much you are supposed to weight on comparison to your height.

No, I think you are perfectly fine. As a matter of fact, I'm jealous of you. I've been trying to gain pounds for years and I stay the same every year. If you think 120 is a little too much, you can go for a run in the morning (But do no go back to sleep or take naps). Eat healthier food like fruits, veges, orange juice, whole grain bread, and hearty meals. Exercise daily and maintain this diet. Drink plenty of water too!

your fine, i know someone is like 115, a year younger than you and is into sports, they look fine.
Never go by the scale, just by your apperance, some people are heavier than others. Two people may weigh the same, but be in a different age group, yet both look alright

You sound completely normal. Please drop that thinking. It will get you doing sick things and that won't be normal.
