Healthy body fat percentage?

I am 13 years old and I weigh 139 pounds. I am a major athlete. I play volleyball, softball, and basketball. I have a body fat percentage of 17%. Is this healthy?

1. i think so
2. yea anything below 20% is good. i have a 5-6 bf % but its from soccer and working out a lot.
3. First of all, are you male or female? Female's body fat percentages are naturally higher because we are designed to bear children. 17% as a female is just fine. Since you are only 13 years old, I wouldn't worry about your body fat %. You will find as you get older, especially if you're active, you will grow out of any little bit of body fat (that u determine you have). 17% is healthy.
