How Much Should A 12 Year Old Girl Weigh?

Generally speaking, at the average height of around 5 ft, or 152 cm, the healthy weight of a girl at the age of 12 should range between 80 and 110 pounds, or just over five and a half to a little under eight stone. This would equal approximately 36 to 50 kg.

This range of weights is so wide, because kids do tend to grow at varying rates. It is therefore possible for five 12 year old girls to all be of a different height.

In addition, the basic structure of their bones will also influence their actual weight. A girl with a very heavy bone set, for instance, will automatically be heavier than a girl with slender bones.

It becomes obvious how difficult it is to determine how much a girl should weigh at the age of 12, or any other age, for that matter.

The main thing to remember is that there is no such thing as a perfect weight. Not everyone can be perfectly skinny. At this age, being a little chubby may be as normal and healthy as being a little on the skinny side.

As long as the girl is fit and healthy, with plenty of exercise and a healthy, balanced diet, all is well. The 'diet' in this, by the way, refers to the general food intake.

A girl of this age should under no circumstances consider going onto a diet in order to lose weight, unless instructed to do so by medical professionals due to being dangerously overweight.

If extremely high or low weight do constitute a reason for concern, it is best to consult a doctor, who will be able to determine whether there is a problem, and if so, how best to proceed in order to correct it safely.

I think a great weight for girls who are 12, should be, 115-150..... I think this, because, at twelve you are still growing, and when you grow the weight will move around your body. Weight helps your bones grow, and is good for lots of things!!! Being to skinny could lead to a bad sickness. Being aroung 115-150, won't get you sick, and will help you when you grow, and you will look like a healthy person! Go for walks, or jogs, to get your blood moving! :) Get outside and move around! Eat all your green veggies, and fruit, and of course, steak, hamburgers ect, for iron! And dairy products for healthy bones! Have fun with your body, and keep it healthy!

I think a 12 year old girl should weigh about 95 to 160 pounds. It doesn't matter what you look like on the outside but on the inside is what counts. Can any one do the flexed arm hang? I know I can't I have a fitness test tomorrow I have the shuttle run and the arm hang

It really matter's on your height. I'm 12 yrs old and I weigh about 100 pounds. I'm also about 5 feet. I would like to be about 90-95 though. If your a little shorter, than you might wonna be a little lighter, but if your a little taller, you might wonna be a little bigger. No offence to anyone in anyway. Just excerise, eat healthy and as long as your happy with yourself, that's all that matters.

Dude 400 pounds is obese for anyone.  The average person should not weigh over 250 lbs when they are full grown.  I think that 1.  It depends on height and 2. At 12 everyone is growing, and is different, so anywhere from 70 - 160 is about healthy.  Anywhere under 70 is too light, and over 160, well, hold up on the food and get some exercise.

There really is no correct answer to "how much should a twelve year old girl weigh?", it depends on your height.Ask your doctor, don't feel bad  about what you weigh.Eat healthy, exercise and play sports to stay healthy.

It doesn't matter if a girl has meat on her bones, it's been proven that a lot of the hott, skinny girls in school grow up to be fat and a lot of the fatter/chubbier girls grow up to be hott models and all sorts.

It doesn't depend on age but on height as everyone is different heights so if you say 95 pounds and the 12 year old is really tall then that won't be a normal weight for someone who is tall. Measure her height and then ask again

I am 12 and I am not ashamed of how much I weigh bcause I could care less about what people say about me or think about me. That may not help you but that is what I tell myself evrey time I look in the mirrior. Anyway I wegh around 87-90 so to me the avvrage is about 90-120. Evreyone around me tells me I am the prettist girl they have ever met, evreyone at school likes me. Me and my friend rochelle countied 197 boys who like me in 6th grade. I guess what I am trying to say is being nice to evreyone even the people you don't like treat you the same not because your weght or looks.(its okay to not have an hour class shape of a body your not even a teenager yet) always take care of your body shower very offten, use deotorinte ect. And don't worry about your weight you can do anytyhing you put your mind to without stressing out over somrthing so worth whiled.over and out!

Setting aside all the contradicting theories and if you calculate the weight of a girl who is of twelve years of age, you will find that her weight should be around forty kilograms. The range in which her weight falls is between twenty-six to seventy kilograms.
 
As you have asked about the ideal weight it sounds a good idea to provide you information about her height also. The optimal height that she is expected to attain is around one hundred and fifty centimetres and the height also has its range in which it is expected to fall; the height ranges from 131 centimetres to 168 centimetres.
 
I can give you the address of a website also that you can use to calculate the ideal weight and height of somebody. The address is following: www.medindia.net.

I'm 12 and weight 103 pounds.  I weight as much as I do because of muscle. Muscles from sports ..etc. I think any where from 90-120 is a good weight. You can go online to a weight calculator and put in your height and weight and tell you how much body fat you have...  I don't think a 12 year old should worry about there weight anyways.. God doesn't make mistakes.

If they are about 5'0 feet tall then about 95 to 105 pounds if you are taller then you should weigh more if you don't then you are healthy but if you are taller and weigh about 85 pounds then you need to see a doctor now if you are shorter then 5'0 and 12 you should weigh about 90 to a 100 or less it depends how tall you are really.

I am 12 and i weigh 106 pounds, i have done a little bit of research and the average 12 year old girl weighs 115 pounds-120 pounds. It does not matter that much if you are out side of this range because it also depends on your hight and bone structure.
Ps. Dont worry about what other people think of you just be yourself, it matters what is on the inside.

Hope this helpsxxx

Nonthing is wrong with you weighing that much but if you are starving yourself so that you can weigh that much then it is a problem. My friends tell me that i need to gain weight because i am to skinny to but dont listen to them becauae if it is the way that you were born then you are just going to have to tell your freinds to deal with there problems and they may be jelous because they want to be as skinny as you..................=)

An average girl about 12 would not be 65 pounds. Depending on the height of the girl, that would make a difference on what she would weigh. I am 12 About to be 13 in July and I am 124 pounds. I like the way I am.

Honestly I think your age really doesn't matter. It's more your height, background, and how much things in your body weigh. Like let's say your shin Weighs about 6 pounds, that would add onto your body weight. I do dance and that's how I stay in shape. One of my dance teachers told me, your feet and and ankles, and knees, and knee caps, and on up till your pelvis are supposed to hold you up. Both your feet weigh the same. Both you legs weigh the same. Girls are growing breasts at this age, and sometimes they weigh different weights, but mostly everything else is the same. If you look at your face, everything symmetrical, except those freckles you have on your cheeks, or that beauty mark above your lip. So you could fold your self in half and it would be nice and neat. Except that is impossible. Let's go onto background. So if your family is known for being super thin, you may be small and thin. If they are known for being a little on the chunkier side they may be chunky it just depends. No weight in the body. Some girls are like birds. They have arms that almost seem hollow. Some have thick, nice, a strong arms. That makes them weigh more or less. Although you people posted years and years ago, I hope this helped! 😊
