When children are 17 years old, their bodies might still undergo changes. So, what is the average weight for 17 year olds? Let’s dig into this article to find it out.
The adolescent years are usually considered a roller coaster because you adjust to all the variations your body is undergoing. Too much emotional, physical, and mental development all happen at the same time. As your child’s body grows and changes, you may be wondering what the average weight for 17 year olds should be.
The average or healthy weight for a 17-year-old teen is determined based on the BMI result from the 5th to 85th percentiles. This number is based on the growth charts of the CDC (the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).
For example, if your 17-year-old teen boy, who is 69 inches tall, will be considered as a reasonable weight from 56 to 76 kilograms (or 120 to 168 pounds). 17-year-old girls who are 64 inches should have an average weight between 45 and 66 kilograms (or 100 to 146 pounds). It should be noted that teens of different ages and heights should also be sorted into various categories.
It might seem quite simple. However, doctors have to collect a lot more health data to decide whether someone is healthy or not. For the trends in a teenager’s growth over the years, it is suggested to follow the growth percentile charts and BMI .
Keep reading to figure out what elements decide a healthy and average weight for 17 year olds.
Healthy body weight is defined as a BMI of from the 5th to 85th percentiles. Nevertheless, because each person’s physique is unique, there is no “ideal” weight for all 17-year-old teenagers.
Based on the result from the BMI-for-age percentiles , a healthy weight for a 17-year-old teen boy at 5 feet 9 inches tall should be from 120 to 168 lbs (or 56 to 67 kg). For 17-year-old teen girls at 5 feet 4 inches tall, this range should be from 100 t0 146 lbs (or 45 to 66 kg).
Here are the weight charts for 17-year-old teens:
It is widely believed that regular exercise and reasonable eating habits play an important role in determining a healthy weight for a 17-year-old teenager. Yes, these are the basic and crucial things, but they are not enough. Several critical factors, in this case, can be sleep quality, anxiety, genetics, medicines, etc.
As you might know, mental health is really important for 17-year-old teens as they are in the period of fast growing up. When they suffer from stress or pressure, their hunger can be affected a lot, resulting in the feeling of overeating. What’s more, it even impacts the way fat is stored in your 17-year-old teen’s body.
At the age of 17, teens might need good sleep quality as it can affect their overall weight. In addition, sleep is considered the crucial source for the everyday energy needs of your body. For 17-year-old teens, sleeping 8-10 hours every night will be good for their health.
Genetics might also be an important element as it can affect your 17-year-old teen’s healthy weight. And the last elements for weight changes in teens of this age could be chronic illness, medicines, medical issues, etc.
Teens at the age of 17 are still developing and growing. So, they should have a healthy diet where they can get enough nutrients. Any restriction on certain foods or a strict diet should not be applied to them. Reducing calories and cutting out foods can result in a shortage of major nutrients during this growth stage. What’s more, your teens tend to overeat if you limit certain food groups on their daily diet.
In case your child seems to be overweight, it is necessary to consult their doctor for reasons as well as appropriate solutions.
In any period of human beings, it is more important to slow down the body weight gain instead of losing weight improperly. And for 17-year-old teens, this is also true. But there are always some specific exclusions. Just make sure your child loses weight under the instructions of their doctor or dietitian.
During this time, they may also undergo stress. Their body, height, and weight can also keep altering. As such, they might want to lose weight so that they can look and feel better in terms of appearance.
Again, building a good habit of eating and exercising is much more important than trying to lose weight or change their body . By doing this, their weight will stay within the healthy spectrum. At the end of the day, striking improvements in a 17-year-old teen’s health derive from a good outlook and taking care of the body, not from the hate for it.
The average weight for 17 year olds boys and girls is from 56 to 76 kilograms (or 120 to 168 pounds) and between 45 and 66 kilograms (or 100 to 146 pounds), respectively.
As a 17-year-old teen, learning how to take care of your mental, emotional, and physical health will put you ahead of those who didn’t learn that. When you practice combining healthy habits and respect for your body into your life, you can achieve a healthy weight that is good for your body. But more importantly, it helps you always feel full of energy and happiness.

At age 17, your son is about to start the last stage of there adolescence, that phase between childhood and adulthood. But they are still growing -- literally. Males keep getting taller into their early 20s. Here are some other things you can expect as your teen crosses the final threshold into manhood.
Your son is still changing physically, but chances are their voice is as deep as it’s going to get and they've already sprouted hair on their face.
Mentally, 17 is a crossover age for boys. Your son may be thinking about their future and goals. They may be a little more realistic about where they are going in life. Or they might still have their head in the clouds about what they want to do and be.
Emotionally, your son will be more independent than ever. They might feel like they need to challenge you, or they might sound like a “know-it-all.” They may still have a lot of teenage ups and downs. Like adults, teens can develop depression . If your son is sad for more than 2 weeks, that’s not normal, and you should call their doctor.
Their growing independence may mean they can resist peer pressure better than before, but they’ll probably want to spend more time with their friends than with their family. They’ll still need you to set limits. It might be easier to get them to obey the rules if you talk about the consequences of breaking them instead of just telling them what to do.
Your 17-year-old son probably thinks about dating and sex a lot. They’ll start to understand give-and-take in their romantic relationships , and they’ll see that other people’s happiness can be as important as their own. They’ll be more aware of their orientation (straight, gay, bisexual, etc.), and they may even have sex. You can help them sort through it by talking about things like:
Your son might have to make some choices about sex, but they need information so they can decide what to do. They are going to learn about sex somewhere -- might as well be from you so you know they are getting the right information.
Teenage boys can be very concerned with their appearance. Eating disorders are more common in girls, but boys can develop them as well. Teens who play sports are especially at risk because they might feel pressure to “make weight ” or look a certain way.
You can help your son avoid an eating disorder by talking to them about:
If you notice signs of an eating disorder , talk to your son. Bring their doctor into the conversation, too. Schedule an appointment for your son to have a check-up.
As your son spends more time with their friends, they may come across teenagers who drink alcohol or do drugs. An estimated one in four kids between ages 12 and 17 have used drugs. Ages 16 to 18 are the peak ages for drinking and using drugs. Talk openly with your son about these issues. It could lower their risk of using drugs and alcohol, but it’s also important that you walk the talk. Make sure they understand the consequences when drinking and driving are met with the law. If you use them, you’re telling them it’s okay. The same goes for smoking .
Nine out of 10 teenagers use the internet on a mobile device like a smartphone. It’s just a part of life for your son, but they need your guidance on how to stay safe online. Make sure you talk to them about:
Advocates for Youth: “Growth and Development, Ages 13 to 17 -- What Parents Need to Know.”
Sutter Health, Palo Alto Medical Foundation: “Parents & Teachers: Teen Growth & Development, Years 15 to 17.”

“I just didn’t think it would happen to us,” explained Marquel Bond.
He and his friend Jayleon Jones had multiple discussions with parents about how young Black men are sometimes treated differently and how to respond if it happened to them.
On September 21, the 17-year-old teens missed the morning bus to a jobsite. The pair are students at Muncie Delta High School enrolled in a construction training program where the class annually builds a home.
One of the rules for students in the program is that they must ride the bus. Missing the bus means missing instruction that day. Suddenly, Bond and Jones had hours to kill that morning.
Bond said, “We ate first. We had McDonald’s and next to McDonald’s is Rural King. So, we knew they had tools and stuff, clothes that we could use for the classes.”
Both had been in the supply store multiple times before, especially Jones who father is a plumber, “I’m in the storer almost every week because my dad always goes there.”
But from the moment the teens walked into the store, they were shadowed.
“We went to every corner of the store,” said Bond.
“Everywhere we went, the same lady was there,” added Jones.
Asked why they thought the woman was shadowing them around the store Jones said, “Probably because we were Black.”
The visit in the store stretched into an hour-plus. The teens say occasionally the woman following them took pictures. At the end of the visit to the Rural King, Jones asked the woman what she was doing. Bond recorded the conversation on his phone. A portion of that conversation went like this:
((WOMAN EMPLOYEE)) “You might find someplace else to hang out because they’re watching you bad. They’re watching. Everybody’s watching you.”
((JAYLEON JONES)) “They can watch, like we’re not doing nothing.”
((WOMAN EMPLOYEE)) “You’re taking pictures of stuff. That means you’re staging.”
Staging, as in identifying items to steal. Both teens say they took one picture, a selfie and vehemently deny taking anything.
Later that afternoon, the mothers of the teens returned to the store to ask why their sons were treated like a presumed criminal. The conversation with what appears to be a Rural King manager included this:
((RURAL KING MANAGER)) “I wish they would have went up front and let them know so we could have had everybody stop.”
((SASHA KING, MARQUEL BOND’s MOTHER)) “But they shouldn’t have to though.”
((RURAL KING MANGER)) “No, they shouldn’t.”
King posted the two videos to Facebook asking people to boycott the Muncie Rural King store. The posts caught the attention of Muncie city government.
“For them to get treated this type of way is unacceptable,” said Yvonne Thompson, executive director of the Muncie Human Rights Commission.
Thompson said the incident was a complete failure of employee training and policy adding, “Rural King has got to realize Black people have money, too.”
Thompson also facilitated communication between the families of the teens and legal counsel for Rural King.
The families tell CBS4 that they’ve been told by an attorney for Rural King that three employees at the Muncie store have been fired.
Rural King general counsel Jason Hortenstine did not confirm the terminations, instead provided a brief statement:
“We are aware of the allegations and are investigating. Rural King always strives to take care of its customers and associates, has a clear policy prohibiting discrimination, and anyone engaging in such conduct would be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment.”
The teens have not returned to the store, but their experience being racially profiled has not soured their view on humanity.
“I don’t feel like everybody’s like that. I just feel like the people who are are maybe stuck in the past,” said Jones.
Bond added, “Some people just have the wrong idea about Black people.”

Perhaps Madonna should check IDs before she pulls off a fan's top onstage?
The Material Girl ended up in a bit of hot water when she -- seemingly accidentally -- exposed a 17-year-old fan's breast during her Rebel Heart Tour in Brisbane, Australia on Thursday.
"She's the kind of girl you just want to slap...on the a**. And pull--" Madge said as she yanked the teen's corset down and flashed her boob. "Oh, sh*t! I'm sorry. Sexual harassment. You can do the same to me."
The 57-year-old singer invites a lady onstage during "Unapologetic Bitch" to receive a spanking from the pop star -- Ariana Grande and Jessica Chastain were among previous spankees -- but Josephine Georgiou got a bit more than expected.
Still, she says it was not "a big deal."
"Only I get to decide if I’m humiliated or not," the teen told Courier Mail . "Why would people assume I am humiliated by my own breast, nipple or body? I didn’t realize my boob was such a big deal -- it was nothing to me."
As for the outrage from people who have suggested Georgiou take legal action against Madonna, the aspiring model rebuffs, "Seriously, wh
