  1. You're at a good weight. You could actually be on the underweight side for a 16-yr-old. As for height, most Caucasian males are around 5' 8" at least in their teens, but everyone hits growth spurts at different times - and guys generally grow more in high school.  You're a bit on the short side right now, but really, you're at a comfortable height even if you stop growing entirely.

    Jumproping will affect your weight depending on the intensity, time, and frequency of your exercises. It may not be as effective of a weight-loss program as something like running though...But it's still a cardio activity so it's good. And it's supposed to help you grow. :)


  2. no it should really, you might gain some or lose a little when your legs get in shape.

    ya that is a normal height for a 16 year old. it is leaning towards the short side but thats fine.
