Hi Vin, it is not about being fat. It is knowing your BMI, which tells you your weight category. From the figures you've given, your Body mass index is 23.7, which is in the normal weight category.
I am 15yrs old and 6'2'' and 252 pounds is that normal
Robert your BMI is: 32.4
Having said that, at your age it is difficult to draw any conclusions without first comparing your body mass index with those of children of your age from your area.
I should also say that BMI does not tell you anything about your body fat, because there are other factors to take into consideration, such as muscle mass: fitness level, bone structure, gender and ethnicity.
People who have greater bone mass tend to have higher BMI figures, but this does not necessarily mean there is anything wrong with them.
One other consideration is BMI-for-age - BMI calculations in children are used differently for children. Although the BMI for children is calculated the same way as for adults, instead of the categories listed above being used, the value is instead compared with values from children of the same sex and age.
A person's body mass index figure can sometimes just be showing that they are at risk of becoming overweight, and not that they are actually overweight.
Girls between the ages of 12 and 16 have a higher BMI than boys of the same age.

Chicky,
The answer I gave to Robert above applies to you too.
If you have problems calculating your BMI, please let me know. You will have have to provide your age, height and current weight.
This was may response to Robert:

hi im 13, 5 foot 1.5 inches and 98 pounds. is that okay?
CeCe & Beth, you two sound Really skinny! Cece, half the time i feel like i should be losing 10 or 20 pounds, i now that sounds crazy being 98 pounds but seriously compared to half of my friends i feel really fat, anyways getting to my point, i have a friend who is 13, 5 foot 7.5 inches and 135 pounds. she asked her mom to take her to the doctor and he said 92% of it is muscle (oh ya shes the MOST athletic girl in my class everyone fawns over her)and she says she fat and she is sooo super skinny! anyways you two both sound perfect the way you are.
I'm 5'9 14 and 184 pounds! I'm fat I hate my body! But I just wish I was thin and pretty like all the other girls
I felt that way, half of the time I still feel that way but I've started working out like push-ups and sit-ups. I mean I don't have a lot of time going between my parents' places but I find time and do the workouts then. Maybe try that. But if you feel reall self-concious about yourself maybe ask a parent to take you to the doctors. That what my friend did cuz she feels fat (even tho she's as skinny as a twig!) Good luck!
