We would need to know the height of the 16-year-old in order to answer your question. Weight is related to height and body composition rather than age. Please feel free to ask the question again and include more detail. Alternatively, for more information about weight in relation to height, see the related question, further down this page, listed under Related Questions.

Answer 4

Um... Well I'm eleven years old nearly 12 and I weigh 8 stone! (and I'm a girl) I'm not 100 percent sure if it is heavy because I don't think Im fat or over weight!? Although I have to admit most of my friends do weigh about 6 or 7 stone! Just if your putting on weight fast just maybe think about starting some sports or something!
