Is it normal for a 12 year old who is involved in sports like football (American) to weigh 130 pounds? Thanks for your comments.

how tall are you? it is perfectly normal. I wouldn't worry about it at all. especially if your on the taller side, it is perfectly normal. they taller you are, you weigh more, even if you are skinny. also, U wouldn't worry about your weight at your age, as long as you exercise and eat healthy. since your in football, you are probably weigh a little more because you are gaining muscular strength. so its not fat, its muscle. muscle weighs more than fat.
my sis is 11 and shes 93 and never does sports almost 5 for and kinda chuby
I guess this is his mother posting, since I think you're supposed to be 18 to play here.

Anyway, there's no way to tell for sure from what's posted, but if we're talking about an American 12 year old, it's a safe bet he's too fat.

Toss the video games. Turn off the TV.
Stop buying fast food. Get him into soccer, cycling, hiking, swimming, tennis, raquetball. Keep him active every day -- football is not enough, and it's not even a healthy activity unless he's into weight lifting and conditioning, which, at 12, I'm sure he is not.
are you asking if it is normal for american kids to be fat? then of course the answer is yes!!!

only joking what is that about 9st?
not too bad depends on your height i suppose
my brother used to be big and now hes not he plays football basketball and baseball whick involves alot of running soo just run and work out
it depends on sex and height. if it s a boy then it's ok. if it's a girl who is tall or a little chubby then it's ok.
that means u r only 3 lbs. overweight (not kidding)
When I was 12, I always bounced between 118 to 123.
It's normal, but i advice you to lose some weight. It's not good for the health of the person. Fat destruct more then it make good!
