Suggest Ideal Weight For My Age
Hi, my name is Hannah. I m 11 years old and I only weigh 70 pounds. I gained about 10 pounds over the summer, and I m not very tall. Like 4 8 / 4 9 I believe .. Im a little worried I might get picked on for being skinny, or weigh too less. Is my weight okay? Am I worrying to much? Please help me. Thank you !! (:
