UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE YOU OVERWEIGHT. Chill! Your friends are obviously all stick insects with no boobs...seriously though, you're fine. You think your figure is ok, so it's probably fabulous (because we all like to put ourselves down!). You're fine, don't worry.

Surely you don't mean you can pass for 20 years old?

[georgit79]

I could when I was 14. But then again, I was 5ft 11 at the time..I didn't think of that. Do you wear loads of make-up, moo?

Don't worry too much about your weight just now (although I know it's only natural when your a teen.Your weight sounds just right as many have said! Just eat quality foods, regularly throughout the day (stay away from those vending machines and cans of fizzy juice etc.) and you'll have no worrys. Don't forget you're still growing and as you get towards the end of your teens you'll be just right.

Hi - i am 5'5 and i weigh 10st 10lbs and i dont even look overweight - the healthy weight range for your height is 8 stone 10 pounds up to 10st 10 pounds. You aren't classed as overwieght until you reach over about 11 stone! All i can say is i bet you've got a lovely curvy figure and be happy with your self you lucky thing!!!

Weight is just a number. If you look in the mirror and you look OK, then you are OK.

im sure your not fat! dont worry. you said that your friends weigh less than you, maybe you have more muscle than them. muscle is heavyer than fat so that might be why you are heavyer :) dont worry, to younge to worry ! :)

You might just be a bit more physically mature than your friends. I was 9 and a half stone when I was fourteen and 5ft 3. I felt like an elephant compared to my giraffe legged friends but don't worry, they'll soon catch up! You're not fat at all at that weight so take it easy. The worst thing you can do is diet because you'll mess up your metabolism (listen to someone who's done it).
