Answer 6

Since she's tall for her age (or it seems this way), that weight comes up with a BMI of 20.2:

    *  Underweight = <18.5

    * Normal weight = 18.5-24.9

    * Overweight = 25-29.9

    * Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater

Making her at a normal weight.

This can me somewhat inaccurate, because muscle weighs more than fat.

She's in the 83 percentile, though. [Meaning 82 out of 100 people her age & height are under the weight she currently is] So, she's not skinny.

If you or her are worried about her weight, ask her doctor how she can become healthier, regardless of weight issues.

Mainly, I'd suggest she eats healthier [especially if she's a Junk Food Junkie!] and exercise [even if it's in sports, or gym class at school.]

Answer 7

She shouldn't worry about it.. She is only 11 years old.. She is going to have to go through puberty.. She needs all her nutrients to grow.

Answer 8
