I have a boy and a girl aged 13, boy is 5'0 and 9 stone 5 pounds and girl is 5'1 and 8 stone 7 pounds. I'm just looking for some perspective on their weights/ heights : )

My 13 yo ds is 5'4 and weighs 6 stone 4. He's a bit whippety.

DD is 12.5yo, 81 lbs and about 4'10". 81 lbs ~= 5.5 stone.

I think at this age a lot will so depend on their stage of puberty

DottyDot · 05/06/2014 17:51

ds1 is 12 and a half and is 5'8" and about 8.5 stone. He seems to be growing at about 1cm a week and we're wondering when it's going to stop.

He is also hurtling through puberty - voice has broken and hair EVERYWHERE Grin

Nicole1976 · 05/06/2014 17:54

That's interesting DottyDot my DS is the opposite, squeaky little voice and no hair anywhere (apart from his head) :)

My 12.3 year old son is very tall and skinny.

We don't have scales.

But he's growing out of his trousers (length) and you can see every rib!

Nicole1976 · 05/06/2014 18:06

Borderliner What size trousers does he wear ?

dd is 12,5ft 3 and 7st 6. slimish build but has bum and hips.

AgadorSpartacus · 05/06/2014 18:46

Ds is 12.
5ft 7ins.
8.5 st.

His best friend is around 5ft 1 ish.

Both ends of the spectrum really.

millabbie123 · 05/06/2014 18:52

cowsarescary · 05/06/2014 19:05

Six foot, 9 stone.

Nicole1976 · 05/06/2014 21:58

According to a children's bmi calculator, my daughter is just within the healthy weight range but my son is in the very overweight range.

Ds is 12. 5 foot 5 and will be heavy. No scales here but he is a hefty lad. Not much signs of hair other than on legs and faint wisps on upper lip and voice very high still. Very chubby.

justcallmethefixer · 05/06/2014 22:19

DS is 14 and 5'11" & 13 stone. Last year he was from 5'6" at 10st and gaining to what he is now.
He is on the over weight section of the BMI chart, but is a rugby prop forward and has been since he was 10. Don't know how much of that reasoning is denial v justification Blush

Bunbaker · 06/06/2014 22:57

DD is 5'4". I'm not sure about her weight, but I think she weighs about 7 stone. She has always been very slim.

Nocomet · 06/06/2014 23:02

She's 5'5"ish (ie taller than me) and wears size 6-8 adult clothes or age appropriate or slightly younger clothes.

She wouldn't get on a pair of scales in a month of Sundays.

She used always to be exactly average according to the Wii.

She's probably slightly heavier now as she has leg musles from gym and trampolining.

TheDetective · 06/06/2014 23:06

DS is 12 and is 5ft 6 and 7st 6.

6 months ago he was 5ft 3 and 6st 7.

He's growing like Japanese Knotweed.

We've got hairy legs and a caterpillar on his top lip!

And his face is changing, since Christmas his baby face is changing, his chin and jaw elongating :(

Waaaaaah!

BigBirdFlies · 07/06/2014 16:48

Dd is 13y 10 m and is 6 foot tall. I don't know her weight because we don't have a scales, but she is skinny. She taller than me now, and I'm very tall. However, she's not typical at all, and I don't think she will grow much more.

JugglingChaotically · 09/06/2014 07:00

DD2 is 5'6". Not sure on weight but aged 15/16 or adult 6-8 in clothes.

TurnOverTheTv · 09/06/2014 07:03

My 13yo old girl is 5'3 and weighs just under 7 stone.

17leftfeet · 09/06/2014 07:03

Dd is 13.4

5ft 6

No scales but she's a dress size 8/10 and very curvy -definitely an adults body rather than a child

TheFallenMadonna · 09/06/2014 07:05

My DD is 12 and 5'11". Don't know how much he weighs. Size 9 feet. Little moustache and incipient acne...

TheFallenMadonna · 09/06/2014 07:05

DS!!! Not a DD with a moustache!
