My moms friends daughter is 78 pounds she is very active and she runs about every day is that normal?

Question

i think she is 12 or 13 but im not sure.

Answer 1

Both of my daughters around that age are thin because we eat a healthy diet and they are very active (no video games).  I think because the obesity rate in children is on the rise, our minds are changing what should be normal.

Answer 2

she's like me but a bit bigger

Answer 3

My 11 year old is 5'6" and weighs 97 pounds she takes Kung Fu and dance classes five days a week is that normal?  There is NO normal for kids.  ALL kids grow and develop at their own pace.

Answer 4

yeah, it depends on how big the girl is. like how tall. does she eat like normal?

Answer 5

NO! when you're 12 or 13 the normal weight is 95-115.

She is way too small and make sure she isn't anorexic. It might just be pressure at school.

Answer 6

It all depends on height.

Answer 7

Well, she's trying to be healthy...

Answer 8

It depends on her height.

Answer 9

As long as she is healthy then it is fine.  Some girls still have not started to mature at that age and they are smaller.  My daughter is almost 4'9  she is 10 and weighs 58 pounds but she is active and healthy.

Answer 10

It depends on how tall she is, but she sounds healthy so far. I have a sister-in-law that is 17 5ft 2 inches and she was weighing 80 pounds. She had a problem with her period coming every couple of months. She was put on some kind of shakes to help her gain weight and that has helped her. But mind you that she always ate very well.
