They dont really do average weights for teens,because it varies so much..most drs do a body fat ..taking into consideration height, bone structure etc..

My 14 year old daughter weighs 128lbs and yet she isnt fat...she has a larger bone structure and her body fat is around 21%

get a body composition test....


BMI can be of limited use...google for it....

dont care so much about what is average.....if u were really overweight u'd know it....if you're slightly overweight...then aim to eat healthier and get involved in fitness activities(sports, walking, outdoor activities,etc)
