NO. Your about the right size. Whoever is telling you that, ought to be ashamed of themself. Don't listen to people like that; your fine the way you are.
by girlpower on April 28th, 2008
Absolutely not! That's a great weight for that height.
by DRLAURAHATER on April 26th, 2008
I would give anything to be 123 lbs and I am only 5'.
by Jewel on April 26th, 2008
Absolutely not. She is perfect.
by tpt123 on April 26th, 2008
Absolutely not.
Completely off topic, but it makes me sad that that question even has to be asked.
by meowry on April 26th, 2008
No. I think a 12 your old girl who is 5'6" and 123 has developed early on. Be proud of that body you have. You're probably hot! Maybe if you keep growing, you can be a model.

NO.
by Grandma Roses - my avatar is my real dog on April 26th, 2008
Not at all. In fact, she would be borderline underweight.

No. The BMI chart clearly states otherwise. Actually the average height and weight for females in America is 5'4 and 140 lbs, so such a girl would be thin comparatively.

According to the CDC, 125# at 5'6" for a 12 year old is approximately in the 74th percentile and at a healthy weight. For more info:

by JohnnySherman on August 12th, 2008
no
by Geek Goddess on April 28th, 2008
No! She sounds good and healthy. In fact, when I was in high school, I was 5'8" and weighed about 120 and was probably on the skinny side. But I was healthy!
by uraseasquirt on April 28th, 2008
that sounds about average.
by Nninee on April 28th, 2008
No, she's fine. Don't worry about it.
by PurpleRN on April 28th, 2008

by Hikki_Passion on April 26th, 2008
Are you asking from the perspective of an adult or from a teenager. The answer will vary then. Sad but true.
by celtic_kitten on April 26th, 2008
no one who is 5'6" and 123lbs is fat not to mention weight doesn't always have to do with fat muscle weighs mor than fat you could weigh alot more than that and still not be fat.

No. At 5'6" 123 pounds is not heavy. About right I would guess.
by ChandraMae on November 3rd, 2009

At her age 5'6" is a great height and 123 pounds (55 kgs) is okay.
