What is the average weight and height for an 11-year-old girl?

  Improve

Well, the average height and weight vary. The question is more complex that just reading out a statistic, it really varies from person to person. At 11 you are hitting puberty as a female (13 for boys) and though you may be taller than your peers your not abnormal, you were just one of the first to hit it.

So to find if you are the "right" height look at your parents. you should be nearing their height, maybe not quite as tall as them. If on parent is short and one parent is tall then you should be taller than the short one but most likely won't be as tall as the tall one.

The average height for females is 5'6". But an average means that they added all the people's height up and divided it by the number of people. So "normal" is anything from 4'10" to 6'4", and there is nothing wrong with being tall (supermodels are usually about 6'). There is nothing wrong with being short either, I know since I myself am 4' 10".

Now the second part of the question had to do with your weight. First don't worry too much about it. If you are 5'6" as an adult the weight should be about 135lbs. You're only 11 and the extra weight is what your body is gonna use to grow breasts, height, etc. (yes, you may get taller). Also if you've started you period your weight will fluctuate by 5-15 lbs as part of that, with weight gain being normal before you start your cycle.

Suggestion: If your worried about your height the best thing is to ask your doctor. If you're short there are things that can be done to make you taller so long as you take them before the end of puberty. Unfortunately I have yet to hear of anything to make you shorter other than old age.

Suggestions: If your still worried about your weight, make sure your exercising going for walks, riding bike, or rollerblading. Also look at your muscle tone, remember things like that add to you weight in a good way. Also don't diet but make sure that your not eating a lot of fast food and guzzling sodas. Both of those can add extra pounds in no time (even the diet soda that says zero calories, they have a substance called high fructose corn syrup that your body has a hard time metabolizing). If you need caffeine try tea (tastes better than coffee). And eat lots of veggies and fruits (almost half of your daily intake of food should be in the form of fruits and veggies).

I'm 11 and im 5 foot 6 and wear a size 11 in women's shoes.

Another person..Well, I'm 10 going to be 11 in a few months and I'm 4'5;and a whopping 92 pounds...

When I was eleven I was 5' 9 and wore a size 9 women's shoe. It's no big deal being tall is awesome. Just play basketball or something. You could be a model.

I'm 12 and 4'5 and weighing 70 pounds & 3shoes, when I was 11 I weighed 65 pounds & I was 4'3 o 0, But I am premature (Born much before suppose to be) and sporty :) So your pretty much average

I am 11 and am 5 feet 7 inches and weigh 128 pounds. I wear size 7 longs in jeans, medium for shirts and 8 1/2-10 for shoes.

I am 11 and I am 5'6 and I weigh 100 pounds and my shoe size is 8 and my jean size is a 0 and I am a small in shirts...

I am 12 years old, 4'10 and 85 pounds... I wear size 4-5 in shoes and size 8 kids clothes. (I can sometimes fit in 00 or XS adults) There really is no "average" anything, so I wouldn't worry.

I am 11 years old. I am 4'11, 134 lbs, size 6 1/2 in shoes, a 4 in women's pants and an adult small shirt. I feel big because everyone else at my school is about 70-85 pounds so...... you could tell how i would feel!

I'm 11, I'm 5'6, and 130 lbs. I wear a medium in shirts and size 8 pants. It's nice to know that other people are all different sizes.

I am 11 years old, 5' 6", 105 pounds, and lots of my friends are as tall as me! Lots of my friends are also shorter than me, and weigh less, and most of my taller friends don't play sports, and are overweight, but I feel fat compared to my short little friends!

I'm 11 years old and I'm 5'6", and I'm 170 pounds and wear a size 11 to 12 in womans! All of my friends are a lot shorter than me! I now I'm overweight and I play sports and still don't lose any weight. So I starting to work out more and more so I can actually lose some weight!

I'm 11 1/2 years old, about 57 inches tall, and I weigh around 94 pounds. I don't know if I'm healthy though, because more than half of my friends are shorter than me and weigh only around 70-80 pounds. While the rest of my friends are taller than me and weigh a lot more than me. I try to work out a few times a week, play softball, and I don't eat much. I will probably have more fruit or veggies a day.

I weigh 92.4 pounds, exactly 5 ft. tall (or at least the last time I've measured myself), wear shoes sizes 5.5 - 6.5 (depending the stores or different brands), wear jeans sizes 10-12, small or medium sized 12 shirts.
