compared to me, yes. I'm already 20, and only 5'6" (down to) 140 lbs.
kids seem to be bigger and bigger earlier these days. You might be big for you age now though, but average male height I believe is in the 5'10" range.

I all honesty, yes. I don't know how you are built or anyhting, but knowing that you are 14 I am assuming that you don't do much weight traning. I am 17, 5'10", and about 165-170 lbs, and I am trying to cut down to about 155-160 lbs. Over last summer I started running a lot more and dropped down from about 185 lbs, and I am telling you, I have gained so much more speed and endurance b/c of it. IMO, you should start working out more and try yo get within 170-175 lbs, that'll help you lower your fat % and raise you muscle mass, as well as it will make you leaner and you will probably be able to cover the goal better than you already do. But start trying to get to your target weight now! I didn't worry about things until I was 16 almost 17, and now I am struggling to get in my best shape.

I'm 16. 5'7 and 63KG.
I'm small compared to people in my grade, but I'm average sized in my soccer team. I think that as an outfield player, smallish size is an advantage, and thats why this size people have succeeded more.
I say its all the hormones and sh!t they put in food nowadays!
