The actual weight isn't a big deal, but being HEALTHY is a big deal at any age. The habits you develop now will take you throughout your life and either work for you or cause you to be out of shape. You're right though...kids are obsessed with this topic and that's unfortunate. It would be so much better if they would just make a point of eating healthy, being active, and having fun!Health Question & Answer
It's best not to get preoccupied with weight. If you eat healthily for the majority of time then you should stay at your ideal weight for you. Girls especially get so worried about their weight and want to be skinny like models and actresses, who are often very underweight and it is unrealistic to expect to look like them. they are not good role models. Actually most boys and men prefer females with curves as opposed to bones.
Teenager also tend to be very self-critical and lack confidence causing them to worry excessively about their weight and looks.
Life has so much more to offer than getting bogged down with what you look like, enjoy your teens and life your life.Health Question & Answer

At 14, there's nothing to worry about unless you're grotesquely overweight (as in it's difficult to find clothes to fit you in the teen section) or your bones are sticking out. People grow out of their teen bodies, and your shape will change more gradually after that for the rest of your life. Then, you get to my age and things get uncomfortable once in a while till you get used to the downhill nature of aging.
Make sure you get some exercise now and then and force-feed yourself veggies once in a while. If you feel healthy, that's good. If you have diabetes, you probably need to lose weight.
Just common sense really. Your body will tell you if you need to change your habits. Meanwhile, just enjoy being your age.Health Question & Answer

It is because almost every teenager makes it a big deal.
But what's important is that you keep your BMI within healthy range so you can live a healthy life.
As long as you feel and think you look good, no one else's opinion matters. Everyone gets picked on for something in school, it's inevitable. Even the 'perfect' pretty girls get picked on, so it's not really worth taking some stupid kid's opinion to heart.
But as you get older and become an adult, people are more tolerant and mature so you won't have to worry then. Health Question & Answer

If youre skinny, GOOD
you can easily show off muscles(when you make)
Now, about the question, I'm 14 myself and I don't think it really matters BUT it does matter alot if you look good(not A shaped or pear shaped) or not. Basicaly, if youre a boy, you need to be strong(alot!)
if gal, then duuno.
Muscles are only needed to protect yourself and be socialised.
you've got only about 6-7 more years of studying and then.?

It really depends. Being underweight at your age can be very dangerous (very underweight). and being overweight isn't healthy either. Be healthy. Next time you go to the Dr. ask him if your weight is healthy. Always eat healthy or at least try to limit your junk food intake! Trust me, it'll catch up with you in the next couple of years! Exercise, even if you're just playing soccer or going to a jog.Health Question & Answer

My girlfriend has tried most things to lose weight but nothing has worked just as effectively as the wu yi tea that she drinks, it's been covered on CNN and Fox News. She shed 7 pounds in four weeks. She gets it off a contact at work but I discovered this site in Google; www.Wu-YiNow.com - they have a free trial on at the moment, maybe they're worth a try.?Health Question & Answer
YES of course it matters. when kids are overweight its extremely unhealthy and they'll usually end up staying overweight their entire life. kids are usually teased when overweight at your age and its really hard to make friends. kids your age need to eat healthy and exercise.Health Question & Answer
It is if you are too thin, and it is if you are too heavy. If you are sedentary, eat bad foods constantly, and are heavy, it definitely matters.Health Question & Answer
