Not developed at all (no offence to her)

and she is 148

How much would be her perfect weight? That she would look her best at? like not to chubby not too skinny?

And no lol this is not me

Thanks im sure she would appreitiate it too!! ^_^

Answer 1

Wow, I'm 13 and I'm only 5'2".  She's very tall!!  At my height, I should be around 115 pounds, so at her height she is totally normal.  She is just at that age, going through puberty, which is when a lot of girls think they are fat and blah blah blah.  But she weighs a normal weight for her age and height!!!

Answer 2

148 is perfect... she could even gain or lose a few pounds and still be in the acceptable range.  Although I have to ask... why is a 12 year old so obsessed already.  Clearly there are deeper problems.  If you're  role model, please let her know that no matter the number she's beautiful and should appreciate herself and value herself more than a scale.
