Hon, since you haven't given us your height its pretty difficult to give you definite feedback on your question. At 12, you should not be looking to diet unless you are morbidly obese which 118 is not at all no matter what the height. What you can do for yourself is moderate exercise to tone up and keep healthy. Worrying about your weight right now is kind of silly because it will change when you begin to go through puberty, you may grow taller and then the weight may be too skinny for your frame. In the meantime, you need to learn not to compare yourself to anyone else. Please talk to your mom about following a sensible, balanced diet and everything will work out just fine. Good luck!Health Question & Answer

Honey, no way to know without knowing how tall you are. Age has nothing to do with weight.

EDIT: No, you are not overweight. That's the perfect weight for the height range you gave. Be happy with yourself! Sounds like your friends are just extra skinny.Health Question & Answer
