Answer 1

according to this site:

http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/

she is normal weight for her height.

Answer 2

Her ideal weight would be 140 lbs so above 160 lbs could be regarded as overweight and below 120 lbs could be regarded as underweight.  Her weight is OK.

Answer 3

There is no perfect weight for a 12 year-old.  She sounds a little chubby, but she's certainly not fat.  She is no more than five to ten pounds over what she should be.  At any rate, this is not information to share with her.  It's information to share with her parents.  They should know that she's feeling uncomfortable with her body.  As long as her eating habits are healthy, there's nothing to worry about.  If she hasn't yet, you should encourage her to join a sport of some kind to encourage exercise and self-confidence.

Answer 4

5'8 I WOULD SAY THAT WEIGHT IS FINE BUT IF I WAS HERE HEIGHT I'D BE AT 160 TO BE JUST RIGHT AN HEY SHES ONLY 12 HERE BOOB'S AN ALL THAT WOULD COME SOON.
