The weight of a JUNIOR HIGH shot put is 10 pounds, not 12, which is highschool.
At what level/age? In many states in the US, girls middle school uses a 6 lb shot put, beginning in the 9th grade, girls us a 4 kilo or 8.8 lb, and that weight goes all the way through to the Olympics.

No it doesnt, it makes you put ON WEIGHT.
The typical girls' shot put is eight pounds, but some girls prefer throwing a 12 pound shot.
16lbs
New Zealand won 3 gold medals at Beijing in 2008 * Womens double sculls * Womens shot put * mens sailboard
12 lbs
4kg 8.8lbs
The women's shot weighs 8.8 lb (4kg), and the men's shot weighs 16.01 lb (7.260 kg)
The regulation weight is 8 lbs, but some women like the challenge of using a 12 lb. shot. The right weight is 8.8 pounds or 4 quilograms !
