Weight?

[Sabu]

What is the average weight for a 12 year old? I'm roughly around 5'8 (pretty big for my age), so I think it is normal for me to be queit heavy.

Also, I would prefer to keep my weight to myself, so please don't ask.

[beccyyy]

i think 10-12 stone is healthy, for a boy

[Victimized]

10-12 stone is not healthy for a 12 year old coz they haven't hit puberty yet.
However if your 15-16 then 10-11 stone is the right weight, when i was 12 i was around 71/2-8 stone but i was abit chunky when i was that age so yeh.

Check your BMI. To see if your in the right range..

This one looks good: http://apps.nccd.cdc.gov/dnpabmi/Calculator.aspx or http://www.kidshealth.org/teen/food_fitness/dieting/weight_height.html

No it's not, as Victimized said.

I was like 7 stone when I was 12, not quite 10-12.

[beccyyy]

He must of hit puberty, 5 ft 8 for a twelve year old is incredible.

I was about 5 foot 5 when I was 13.

[Scriptermone]

Well, im 14 now - 5 ft 11 and a half
and I weigh 11 and a half stone, nearly 12, but not quite.

But - I do alot of exercise and weight lifting, so muscle does weigh more than fat, so yeah :P

[Victimized]

Omg your all massively taller than me and i'm 15 1/2 lol, i'm like 5ft 7.

[Day.]

Ok thats so confuzed me.. 12 stone is Big for a 12 year old.. But 5.5 Stone is so bloody skinny.. I was probs about 9/10 at 12 no where near 5-6. I can't remeber any of my friends being that light either lol. I'm 16 now 6 foot 4" and I weigh 12 Stone now.

[.sweet-ness.]

Well it all depends on how tall you are.. your age ...Your heath depending on what your heathly weight should be ! the taller you are the more your bound to weigh

[Halting]

I'm 5'9" and ever since I was twelve I've weighed around 7-9 stone. I'm not fat and I'm not skinny - I'm just human if that makes any sense.

My friend weigh 11 stone and he's 14. He looks a bit over weight but I have another friend of the same age and the same weight who doesn't look as fat, but still a little.

I wouldn't worry. If your appearance doesn't worry you then you shouldn't really worry about your weight.

At 12 I was 4 stone at 5"4
At 13 (now) I am 6 stone and 5"6

SO I'd say if you feel fine don't worry.

im 14 And about 5"8' And i weighed in at 9 Stone! Is that heavy? i mean i havent ben able to excercise with all teh stuff thats happened recently as i normally play football andi havent ben in school but ive put on about 3-5 Kilos ! 0.0

[Misawa]

10-12 stone for a twelve-year-old male is not a healthy weight unless they have a very good physique. If they are overweight, and that's what they weigh, then no, it's definitely not healthy.

Chavalater, you're height and weight are fine for your age, you're perhaps a tad too light. I'm sixteen and weight just over 11 stone and I'm in (not boasting, but I have to say this to support my statement) great shape. Most people that I know of average size my age are 10 stone.

your well underweight :l

[Scorpio]

Exactly, that was my point. Everyone says i'm well underweight, but I NEVER seem to put on weight. So that's why if you feel fine you usually are lol

[JoeComins]

Im 5 foot 10 ish, and my BMI is about 22.3

[Ree...]

wot is 5ft 7 in centimeters????????

oh my days :|

BMI-for-age percentile shows how your child’s weight compares to that of other children of the same age and sex. For example, a BMI-for-age percentile of 65% means that the child’s weight is greater than that of 65% of other children of the same age and sex.

Based on the height and weight entered, the BMI is 21.7, placing the BMI-for-age at the 73rd percentile for girls aged 14 years 4 months. This teen has a healthy weight.

Maintaining a healthy weight throughout childhood and adolescence may reduce the risk of becoming overweight or obese as an adult.
