It freaks me out that I weigh so much but I'm REALLY skinny?
I am only 14, I'm 5'6 and my friends say I'm really small (because I am my bones stick out) but not like eating disorder small but small. Everyone in my age group weighs 90-112 and I weigh 120! When I tell them they can't and don't believe it.
The thing that freaks me out is the actual number itself! I thought I weighed too much but my BMI is 19.5, one point over being UNDERWEIGHT. So why is my weight such a high number??? I dance but not in a class or anything (just in my room haha) and I don't do school sports or anything.
My mom makes me wear a seven in jeans (she says because of my "curves") and I wear a small/medium.
Is 120 really a big number?? It really bugs me because I weigh more than my sister who is 24 but she's only 5'4 IDK I'm just freaked out why do I weigh so much?
I'm a girl by the way.

It's not that you weigh a lot! Your friends don't weigh enough! If YOU'RE considered small than YOU ARE ALL way too skinny! XD
--Your friends should be the ones worried about their weigh, not you, and if you're worried about your weigh at all, you should gain a few pounds instead of losing them, that is, if you really are close to being under weigh.
But, I really think you shouldn't worry about how much you weigh until your an adult, you're only fourteen.
Oh, and by the way, if you're taller than you're sister you would naturally weigh more than her. How tall are your friends? If they're all shorter than you they wouldn't weigh as much.

Don't worry about weigh right now. Enjoy life. Be happy. Hakuna Matata. :)

It is not a high number. 120 lbs is quite skinny for 5'6''. If you like how your body looks and you feel good, the number of the scale does not matter. You should probably do some sort of physical activity: not to lose weight, but to stay fit.
