Answer

12 year olds come in all shapes and sizes. The link to the website to the right gives the normal weight for a 5' 12 year old as around 100 pounds. Below is a selection of answwers received, mainly from12 year olds.

If you look at yourself, your husband and members of both sides of the family and your son is quite small for his age it's usually genetics and all children are not the same. You can take 10 twelve year olds and they will all be a different height and weight. Have your child checked out by your doctor and if all is well, then let nature take it's course.

130 lbs.

about110 -140

You can check the website cdc.gov to see growth charts and plot your kid there to see if they are "average".
