Bones harden as they grow, and can potentially become more brittle as you age, not all infant bones are fused when they are born, hence why it can take until the age of 2 for the skull bones to become fully fused.

What is the average weight for a 7th grader

Sergeu [11.5K]

The average weight of a 7th grader is supposed to be 95-105.

Perhaps, it really, really and really depends on your sex, age and the food you eat.
For boys that are aged 12 to 13 in 7th grade, their weight should be an average of 96 - 110

For girls that are aged 12 to 13 in 7th grade, their average should be 95 to 108...since many girls don't like eating too much food and hate getting fat! :D

Btw, if you might ask me, I am 14 in 10th and weigh 75 pounds, I am really skinny, I hate food, and do some push-ups and other excersices in the morning (this is one way you can loose weight)

So what about you?
