Is 100 pounds alot for an 11 year old?

Question

i was baby sitting a girl named marie and she is 11 and 100 pound. she always asks me am i fat?

well is she

what u think?

Answer 1

It depends more on her height than on her age.But 100 pounds doesn't sound like alot,unless she's under 5 feet tall.

Answer 2

she is over average

an average for an 11 year old should be around 85

but if she maintains that weight for 2 years, she will be good  

Answer 3

It depends on height,weight,and most importantly,Body Mass Index.To know the fat percentage in your body.Muscle and bone weigh a lot more and it takes less of them to make you heavy.When I was in 5th grade,I started off weighing 85 pounds,but unfortunately for me,3 dorritos small packs a day for the rest of the year....made me 130 pounds in 6th grade.And most of it was fat.I had to work really hard to get somewhat stronger and more agile again.

Answer 4

i feel like it depends more on her height, not her age.

Answer 5

Even if she is...don't tell her that! This world is full of girls with eating disorders because of stupid adults.

If you want to help her, focus instead on health. Ask her if she feels healthy and strong. If not, help her become more active.

You can check her BMI at the link below.

Answer 6

it depends on her height but i would say yes shes fat. most of my cousins who are 11 weight in the 70'2 and 80's but their like 4'11 lol

Answer 7

try  this ideal weight calculator, based on age, gender and height. It

gives  you the per cent of people heavier than you, too. And shows you

Answer 8

I just saw your other thread. Yes, YOU are overweight. Don't be afraid to ask if you're overweight. The people over the internet could care less.

Answer 9

no, not unless she is really short

Answer 10

How tall is she?  Height can have a lot to do with weight.  If she is an average size - then yes, 100 lbs is a lot for an 11 year old.  

Answer 11

It depends on her height. I can tell you one thing, asking "Am I fat" at any age is a sign of a serious mental problem.

If she can't look in a mirror and decide whether she's fat, then she does have a problem and it's not her weight.

Answer 12

Of course she isn't and next time she asks you should be reassuring her, because it is sad how young girls are when they lose their body confidence now

Answer 13

yes, not by much tho

Answer 14

well it depends if she is tall..shes not obese or anything like that..she could probably loose a few pounds here and there

Answer 15

It depends on her height.
