Question

Answer 1

Why is it that you young girls are so obsessed with weight? Ignore what these skeletal celebs look like--thats how not to look, and believe me, fellas dont like that look one little bit. Just act your age and enjoy being young as you wont have another chance. Just for the record your weight is not too heavy, if anything you could do with a few cream cakes this weekend--have a good one, take care!!

Answer 2

well...im only 5'2, and I am 160 pounds!! haha!!
I was 120 pounds a few years ago, and I remember thinking I was getting "fat" or whatever, but the truth is....I WASNT! I see pictures of myself and I looked perfect. So, Im sure that you are just fine.....you are 5'8!!! Your probably too skinny if you ask me!!!
Also, I have a 15 year old cousin who is 5'3 and 125 pounds, and she looks really good.....not too skinny....definetely not fat....she always gets compliments! So, be glad at how you look! Enjoy how you look now, and make sure you keep good eating habbits and exercise daily for at least 20 minutes! Thats what happened to me....I was skinny in high school( around 110-115 pounds), then I graduated and got married, and gained about 50 pounds because of my eating habbits, and lack of exercise!!!

Answer 3

Search the net on "BMI CALCULATOR". That's a more accurate scale to determine what whether you are overweight or not but I sincerely doubt it. 5'7 and 123 lbs sounds FINE.
A 14 y/o should NOT diet. Make sure you get lots of exercise and eat well.
Concentrate on school, go to college and succeed in LIFE!!!
Don't worry about your weight!!!

Answer 6

Young lady... I know that someone your age worries about physical attractiveness. A woman as tall as you is NOT heavy at 123 lbs. You will find as you grow older that you will have different looks depending on who is looking at you. Remember it is in the eyes of the beholder. Some people like women that have meat on their bones and some like them skinny. Just be proud of how you look....take care of yourself. and stand tall (do not slouch). Too many young people (boys included) do not stand upright. My daughter had a large chest and she used to stoop over because she was embarrassed by them. I used to give her a certain look that she understood. She has thanked me for it to this day. She is now 40 years old. That goes for women who are small chested. I repeat...be proud of how your built and stand tall. If someone makes a derogatory comment just tell them they are jealous...Which in most cases will be true.....Have a nice life and treat everyone as you would like to be treated....

Answer 7

Everyones opinion really doesn't matter. All that matters is are you happy with the way you look. Your young so you probably have body image issues. I'm sure you look at people in magazines and on tv and wann have a body like there's or hair like there's or a nose like them, but your fine they way you are. You'll be happier with your body later in life and your confidence will grow and you won't even have to ask question like this to strangers.

Answer 8

This is a good weight. If I were you I would want to weigh more (I don't like the look of really skinny people, more average.)

Answer 10

I wish I could be your size! No seriously, you are a little underweight. But, you're still growing. If you think you are over weight, try eating a healthy diet and lifting weight. You will look more toned and thinner.
