My niece is 12 and 5'5 and weighs 128 lbs. she thinks shes fat and i tell her no. is this a normal?

Question:

Answers:
no she is actually underweight for her height and she thinks she is fat because there are really short kids her age who are like 90 lbs but she is taller and has stronger bones so that would make her sound fat but she is really just tall which is good because it means you have really strong healthy bones! srry it is kinda confusing but im only 12!!!

For one thing, she's lucky because I'm 23 and only 5'4" so she's one early-maturing girl! For another, she's not fat, so it is normal cuz lots of girls think they are.
