Answers:
I don't think so. She's still young and probably doesn't have very big curves or anything yet. She's still growing.
I'm 19, and I weigh about 100 pounds.I'm only 5'0", and healthy.

I wouldn't worry about it, but it's good that you were concerned anyways. :)

Other Answers:

actually, i checked a bmi calculator, and no, she is not underweight, but is healthy.

Depends on their build and if they are finished growing. I stopped growing when I was 12 and I was 5'3. 98lbs would have been way to skinny for me. But if the person you're talking about is short with a small frame, they probably are just fine.

She is skinny, but not underweight.

Nope. A 14 year old still has a lot of growing. If you eat right and excersize, you are normal its just you have a high metabolism, which is not rare with 14 year olds.

yes definately. I am 5'3 and 14 and I weigh 120, which the doctor told me was normal.

my mom's mother was 20 and 103 pounds, 5 foot 4 on her wedding day

no that isn't underweight she okay LOL
I remember weighting that much at the age
of 14 now I'm about 140 pound she okay
and she will gain that weight as she get
older

at 5' my dr says a person should be bout 100 lbs. for every inch add 5 lbs..i'm gonna go with yes

Find her exact height and her exact weight, find her Body Mass Index, and look at the BMI Table that's floating around. If her BMI is too low, then she is underweight.

I'm confident that if you googled "Body Mass Index," you'd goto a website that would handle all this lickety-split.

I was a senior in high school 16 years old 5'4 98lbs. Don't worry. Also my daughter was 18 5'4 67lbs Now that was bad. That is when you start to worry. She is now 120lbs and looks a lot better.

It depends. Some would look very thin. I was 25 and weighed only 89 lbs.. I simply could not gain weight. I'm 5 ft tall and now weigh 103. Unless she's dieting, I wouldn't worry about her too much.

98 lbs may be okay. As long as she eats healthy and has the energy to be active she may be just right. If you can see her bones too well then she may be too thin. It may depend a little on if she has started to 'develop' yet or not. If not she will probably start gaining some weight then.

YES they are there suppost be exactly 110 or 105 between those but girl srry you are under weight eat alil at least become 100 lb then you will be average to the right size!
