Question:
Answers:
No.

A normal 12 year old is about 75-80 pounds.

Other Answers:
Yes. That seems dangerous too.
im 12 and i am 70lbs it depends on how short you are and your metabolism
How tall are you? if you are beteween 4'8''-5'thn no, but if you art taller than that, than talk to your parrents.
no. as long as you are eating regularly and comfortable in your own skin you are fine for your age. I was a cheerleader for many years and there were some "healthy" sized girls were 105 at high school graduation. (17-18)
Well, that depends on your height and your ethnic group. For a white 12 year old girl 75 lbs is about the 10th percentile--meaning that you are as tall or taller than 10 out of 100 12 year old girls. It does sound on the low side.

Now, to put that in perspective, how is the rest of your life? Are you healthy? Do you do well in school? Do you have friends? Do you try to stay this skinny? Do you try to gain weight? Has a doctor or parent told you that you are too skinny?

My notion is that as long as you are otherwise healthy, you aren't trying gain or lose weight, and your doctor hasn't said anything is wrong, then you are just on the lower end of the weight side. This is especially true if you are shorter rather than taller.


To see how complex this is, take a look at the charts link below.
