I'm 14, about 130 lbs and about 5''5 tall( i'm not sure of my height, the last time i measured i was 5'3, but my friend said they were 5'3, and i was taller then them, so they said i was 5'6, then another friend said " no i'm 5'6" your taller then me, your 5'8, so i've settled with 5''5 for now)..
Anyways... is that healthy? i don't really do any sports.. other then my 1 hour dance period in school( we have dance instead of gym cuz we're an art school). And i walk home.. about like.. 20 minutes of walking..
Am i healthy?

I don't think health can be defined by a bunch of numbers. Health is about the way you feel - emotionally, physically, mentally, spiritually, all that jazz.

But it sounds to me like you're at a healthy weight and level of physical activity. An hour and twenty minutes daily is quite a bit.

Just remember the basic stuff - eat your fruits and veggies, drink enough liquids, get plenty of sleep... you'll be golden.

If you're concerned about anything specifically, ask your doctor the next time you see them. (As all-powerful and all-knowing as teenagers are, a good doctor probably knows what they're talking about better than some guy on an internet forum. ;))
