Idk what all information you need to tell me what I need to know but I'll just tell you everything about my body. I'm 13 years old, about 5'2, my bra size is a 36C, and I weigh 120 pounds. Am I overweight or am I at a normal weight for my age?

 If you weigh 120lbs then no you are not overweight - your BMI (body mass index) is around 21 which is fine, the healthy range for BMI is 18-25. So you can even put on a little more weight and still be healthy! Just maintain the weight you are now, you are a completely normal weight.
Try not to worry too much about your weight at your age, your body is changing a lot and if you look in the mirror and dont like what you see, then remember your teenage years are when your body is at its most akward, and you will probably be out of proportion. But this will settle down by the time you reach 16-18, at 13 your body is growing and you are going through puberty so your hormones are all over the place and this will have an impact on your weight!
And remember, if there are girls at school that look skinnier than you and look amazing now, they will be the ones that look rubbish in the future! You dont want to blossom too early! I was so funny looking aged 13, I had boobs, puppy fat and my body was completely out of proportion. Now I am still only 5ft 3 and I have still got big boobs but I've also lost a lot of my excess puppy fat, I've got a small waist and pretty big hips so my body actually looks in proportion now. Whereas all the girls I used to hate at school who were the pretty "popular" girls all have lost their looks and they are pretty average looking now.
Your teenage years are tough years but just remember this is natural and your body is changing, so just give it time and when you are a bit older you will look amazing!
I hope this helps!
