Am i overweight if i am 12 yrs old, 5'4 and weigh 129lbs.?

Answer:
I dont mean this in a bad way but you are slightly overweight but stop worrying and do something about it unless you want to go through life like that which is unpleasant, I guy I know ways 90 kgs he's 5ft and he's pure fat. People tease him a lot and he got fed up with it so everyday he wakes up at 4am runs around the school field 6 times, gyms after school and runs again at night and he's getting better.

NO!

yes.

NO YOU ARE NOT!
our society is creating this myth that everyone has to look like Paris Hilton... or otherwise is overweight
if you are healthy... you are fine!
talk to your parents or guardians about this.

Not at all!
When I was 13, I was 5' 4" and 123 lbs and my doctor made me drink these gross shakes to gain weight.

not really. im 14 and weigh 120 but I am shorter than you. my friend she is a stick but weighs like 138 because she is 5'10 or something like that. Also, if you feel over wieght dont diet just eat healthier ( as in dont drink so much soda or eat so much candy, chips, or nasty fast food ) and play outside with your friends or with a pet.

If you are 12 never think of loosing weight with the help of absense of food! A helthy diet doesn't mean eating nothing!

According to the magazine photos you might think so, @ 129 if you are becoming curvey, you are healthy 129 might just work for you. At your height I would try to stay in that range, but you are likely to grow for a couple years. Learn now to eat well, remember that food is fuel and if you over fill, you body is quite effecient in storing that fuel for later (fat) It's good to have curves and a little padding but too much is too much. Check out your body mass index, it will give you information about body fat, a better indicator of overweight than your scalehttps://www.healthatoz.com/healthatoz/at...

Probably not. Please ask your doctor next time you visit.Good luck.

Here is what I found...
Based on the height and weight entered, the BMI is 22.1, placing the BMI-for-age at the 85th percentile for girls aged 12 years. This child is at risk of becoming overweight.Make sure you do the following to make sure you do not become overweight. You are at risk of this and you want to avoid if you can.
Eating healthy foods
Participating in physical activity on most (preferably all) days of the week
Limiting television viewing

Well I'm 12, 5'6", and weigh 127lbs. So I can't really say.

http://kidshealth.org/teen/question/diet...^ Go to the website above and scroll down the page and you have to put your age and weight(and whatever it tells you) and press Calculate BMI, after you press it you scroll down a little and they tell you how you are doing.

At your age, I don't think I would worry about it too much. You didn't mention your bone structure, but I wouldn't really consider you overweight yet..It probably wouldn't hurt for you to lose a couple of pounds, but I would focus more in increased exercise rather than diet to take them off.
