What is the average weight for a teeager who is 5 foo 6 inches?
Q. I'm trying to find out the average weight for a teenager who is 5 foot and 6 inches.

A. Well, teenager's weight can vary greatly. A teen who is 5'6 could weigh anywhere from 110 or even 145 pounds and still be healthy. There really isn't a "right weight" for a teenager. If you're small-boned, you'll tend to weigh less. There are 3 different sizes of bones. To figure out your bone size, take your index finger & thumb and wrap it around your wrist. If your finger and thumb overlap, you have small bones. If they meet, you're medium-boned, and if your fingers don't touch at all, you're big-boned. Talk to your doctor about any concerns you may have about your weight. Hope this helped! :)

Q. There is a rock song that was popular about 6 or 7 years ago that has almost the same intro sound as Hey, Johnny Park!, except for the very first part. I cannot recall the name of the song or the name of the band, anyone have any ideas?
