what is the average weight and size for 14 year olds

[Abi]

I have a book on this somewhere..... gimme 10 minutes...

[samantha nixon]

ok thank you

[.:SpIcYsPy:.]

Just use this (http://www.bbc.co.uk/health/healthy_living/your_weight/bmiimperial_index.shtml) !!

[Abi]

Well i can't find my book, but this website that i used agees ago says that the average height for a 14 year old is 161 cm, although anything betwenn 150cm and 172cm is normal. The average weight is 54kg, but anything between 84kg and 41kg is normal.

If your concerned about your height or weight, or whatever, then i'd check your "Body Mass Index" (learnt about this in Biology!)

Check out this site http://nhlbisupport.com/bmi/

they don't do average weight for under 16s... so use BMI instead

[Abi]

They do, its just you shouldn't use them as gospel, because your weight doesn't settle down untill your over 16. BMI is more accurate, but thats not to say you can't find out the average. I found it, and posted it- and its true :p :)

thanks for all of youre help but what is the weight in stone and the height in feet

[Abi]

when you measure your height, dont do it in cm, lok at the other scale (Thats feet)

when you measure your weight, look at the other scale, and it should be stones

[samantha nixon]

yeah i ment the ones you wrote further on the thread what are they

[annaz]

I read somewhere that the average weight for a 14 year old is 126lb.

[Abbie]

i dont think they should have average weight for like teenagers cos it may make some like "noooooooooo" im over weright and make some panoriond if that makes sense, but i would like to know what its is anyway lol

[samantha nixon]

in stones and lb what is 126lb

[Abbie]

in stones and lb what is 126lbi know lol i want to know that too, i hate coverting and stuff like that i mean why did they have to change it

[samantha nixon]

ive just worked it out as 14 lbs is a stone i think so it would be 9 stone if so im under average then

[Abbie]

ive just worked it out as 14 lbs is a stone i think so it would be 9 stone if so im under average thenwell i dunno what i am i will have to weigh myself tonight

[nicole28]

When I did it it siad I was underweight but I doubt it because I sort of had to guess my height!

[pookie1968uk]

it depends on your age as to which bmi chart you use. the one you have been linked to is an adult one so depends if you are all over 18 or not.wont work for under 18's properly.

[pookie1968uk]

most of the bmi charts on the internet are for over 20's, you will have to search herder to find one for under 20's as they dont like to encourage kids to get obbsessed with weight.

[pookie1968uk]

here is a link to a bmi chart for 2 to 20yr olds

mine is a healthy weight but i dont think its right as i dont think i am

[nicole28]

I think I have a healthy weight *throws graffiti* *dances round*

[annaz]

BMI's don't always mean the right thing, you could only weigh more because of muscle.

When I did it it siad I was underweight but I doubt it because I sort of had to guess my height!

You're not underweight, you're really healthy and skinny. I'd guess that you're height would be 5'5
