    Many years ago, when I was 18, my waist was around 23", I looked just like everyone else my age - so, I'd say no. 23" on my waist now would look way too small but after children, my hips have gotten bigger too.

    As the mother of a teenager, I'd be concerned she was underweight.

    I wouldn't know if she was or wasn't by just looking at her ... but if she looked it (and 5'8" and 125 would probably look it to me), my immediate thought (because I'm the mom of a teen) would be that she might be. As a stranger, I'd leave it there.

    However, with my own kid - or a kid I know well (like my kid's friends) - I'd "investigate" further. My own daughter (15) is 5'3" and 105 pounds. She's very very thin. She could look to strangers as if she's underweight. Adn she even looks to me as if she's underweight. But, since I live with her I know she isn't. She eats like a horse! lol

    I'm 5'10. When I graduated from high school I weighed somewhere around 125-127#. I was slender but not scrawny or sickly looking. I have a small frame (although I seriously doubt I had a 23" waist). So, no I don't think she'd necessarily be too thin.

    Yeah, I'm not sure the whole point of this since you can't really say "Yeah, I would think she's too skinny" if you don't know what she actually looks like, just a brief description of height and weight (and for some reason hair colour?? What? She's brunnette? Totally underweight, if she was blonde I'd be cool with it though) isn't enough. You need to actually see what a person looks like in order to say whether or not you think they look too skinny.
